Valve has grown too big of a company to take care of the little things
that are important to some of their customers.

Yep, lots of discussions in the forums. But neither official
"announcement" threads for downtime mentioned it.

This was a valve issue yesterday. There were plenty of complaints on
the steam forums like this:

Definitely seemed yesterday to be rather wide-spread. But one
wierd thing I noticed yesterday was how it was effecting some of
my servers, but not ALL of them:
[*] I have THREE TF2 server instances are on the same IP address
(on Linux).
[*] No changes to firewalls or really anything recently.
[*] Both game/host/server port and Steam port are specified at
command-line for each instance. Client port currently
dynamic/automatic.
[*] TWO of those THREE server instances were perfectly fine.
[*] ONE instance (the most heavily used of course) was giving
players the "can't find an item server" stuff.
[*] All the on-line tools I have checked (http://steamstat.us/,
http://status.tf2lists.com/, etc.), show the items servers were
up? I checked that first, otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered
to post to the list.
[*] I noticed that same ONE server instance (that was NOT
working), was no longer accepting or using the
tf_server_identity_account_id and tf_server_identity_token values.
When I did as status command on the console it said ...
"account : not logged in (No account specified)".
[*] For the TWO server instances that WERE working - they showed
that they were successfully logged-in.
That leads me to suspect that some of this may have had something
to do with the process of replacing the old TF2 server
registration system with the Steam (sv_setsteamaccount)
registration system? Maybe some upgrade or conversion process
going-on at the back-end? I would hope that would not have done
that in a way that breaks the "item server" stuff?
If not that, then I guess it's just another random/mysterious Item
Server "event" - "The Valentine's Day Item Server Massacre"?

Our servers are running on Windows and there is no problem
with the firewall...i think something is bugged with the
connection on the ports. For example, i am having two servers
but the first one is running fine with vac/items but the 2nd
which has different port is running without vac and items :(
Thanks for the help in advance! :)

Are you guys on Linux or Windows? Any special firewall
configurations
you might need to check?
I've left the steamport command line options in there when
it recently
broke on Linux, maybe you can try that out. I haven't had
any issues
in the recent days.
And Mtvnoob: What would this mailing list be for
otherwise? If you
don't want hlds/scrds related discussion in your inbox
then why are
you even subscribed to this list? Subscribe to
hlds_announce if you
only want the update notifications.
