It appears that after the latest Client updates, some Servers need to be shutdown and restarted to avoid Player disconnects:
Client sees: 1. connect to server 2. progress bar gets to 7 pips "Validating Game Resources" 3. times out after a minute or so with 4. Disconnected Error! Server verification failed. Server sees: 1. Client connects 2. then after a minute or so client sends drop. This is Win32 HLDM Server that has been up for about 200 hours with no problems. My Test CZ Server didn't appear to have this problem though. Since there were no HLDM Server related updates there didn't seem to be any reason to restart, but apparently there is :) I started seeing a lot of Players complaining about this on the forums and in email last night for a variety of MODs. The Steam Forums also appear to be offline right now. qUiCkSiLvEr _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
