Come on, how can you not reproduce a server losing VAC? Run a few servers for a while, ya know, the thing you guys code in there. We run lots of both HLDS and SCRDS servers and all of them will lose VAC from time to time. Both public servers, private servers and servers we run just for the world to play on. All servers use a unique port as well as steam port. It's intermittent and always has been. Running a little internal LAN server won't show you the effects of anything really. You guys need to run publicly accessible servers and you'll clearly see this issue yourselves. I've personally seen it happen on RHE3, Debian (Stable), Win2kServer, Win2k3Server and Win2k3Ent.X64 server. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It obviously is lack of communication between the game servers and the VAC servers. Whether that be from line saturation or just poor network connectivity of the VAC servers is unclear but it DOES happen. Daily to most of us here. I just cannot believe you put ANY solid effort into reproducing our environment and fail to see one of those servers insecure. I just checked our list and found two from looking about 2 hours ago. If you have something I should look for in logs then by all means give us the phrase to search for. But don't assume we'll accept "we can't reproduce it" and call the case closed. I'll be HAPPY to help run this useless AC on our servers out of lack of options since Valve is too nuts about coding to allow somebody that gives a damn to do a better job of it.

I cannot reproduce this problem (nor am I sure exactly what the problem is, log excerpts and minidumps would be useful). How do you know you are "losing VAC"? How do you know that a restart doesn't fix the problem (do you wait a little for login sequence to complete?) What are the configurations of the machines with the problem? Do you have other machines that do not exhibit the problem? - Alfred Saint K. wrote: > Currently we have to reset our servers multiple times a day because > they are > losing VAC. > Often a server needs 2 or 3 resets to get VAC back active. > We have 2 choices...
