No, guys, it really IS a problem with my host. We're gettin that with the connection to the replay server as well. It hangs everytime the route problem manifests itself with a "publish error". The server is having route problems with overseas servers. Believe me, i monitored it and double checked.
It's definitely not a "shutdown everything and restart" problem. We're all server admins here. I think we can exclude the obvious solutions right away. The problem is that we can't tell the datacenter exactly where is the problem since i can't trace the route without an IP Address for the Item Loadout server. I guess i'll have to sniff the packets comming out of my server to get an address. Sigh. Hard and boring way. :\ On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 5:43 PM, TRISTAN MARLER <[email protected]> wrote: > Typically the best solution to this is getting people to close STEAM > completely, relaunch STEAM and launch TF2.
