At this point I see quite some servers suffering from this, AvaMods, mine, OneHitWonder and quite some others.rnrnYou can basicly play for 10 mins and then get an ticket authentication error. I just wanted to make you guys notice this. I know It's a steam related issue and yet again we have to wait for steam to fix it.rnrnBut just wanted to give a heads up

that shits wack as hell. it hits randomly too....my server goes from 32 to 3 within like 4 min and shit dont even crash....i think its that stupid thread on steam forums requesting updates and shit ... instead they taking frustration out on this game and us. If they wouldnt touch shit then it should be working fine cuz it was for 2 weeks good. rnrnall in all - REALLY FUCKING BLOWS

BTW - for some might work for others might now......RESTART ur servers when it happens. Not just RESTART but STOP the server for 5 min and Restart it

Well this thing is being worse and worse for every day, as i see it... but i cant figure out where the problem is, i dont get disconnected.. But i dont know if its cuz i have the "a" flag and cant get disconnected... if it because of the ADMIN_IMMUNITY flag it should be possible to to give everyone immunity when they connect, and move it again if we wanna ban or kick them later... ofcause it would make some other problems then kick or ban, but might be a temp fix... however does anyone know if its a server or client problem?

Steam claims that this issue is a client sided issue. If you look on the steam knowledge base they claim to check if your router blocks the ports used for Steam. They also provide some other fixes...but like every steam issue all of them are a temp. fix.rnrnThe client authenticate issue, from what I heared is an issue with the client not being able or losing connection to the Steam authentication server, from what I heared the server dealing with the VAC secure feature.rnrnWhat I did with my old server (just moved over and since then no issues anymore) is sv_secure 0, I adviced Rolling Death from GSR who had the same issues and it fixed for him. However, it doesn't remove the "shield" symbol infront of your server in the server list, however...when reading upon this I noticed they talked about VAC and VAC2, this might only remove VAC2 feature, however perhaps worth a go.rnrnWhat I did on my client side as I've had a lot of issues on my side is place a batch file in my startup folder of windows. The batch file is an automated script which removes my clientregistry.blob upon start up, it's somewhat messed up as everytime you start up your PC you also have to login to steam, however for some people it's worth the time instead of cutting a nice mapround short because Steam is being a b**** again.rnrnLet me know if this fixes anything, hope it works for you as I understand it's pretty messed up you are losing traffic because Steam sucks (fill in yourself)

Then I ran out of advice, no idea. If it gets really annoying, try disabling all your plugins, I know it sounds weird but it helped me once.
