If needs-be I can host some servers in canada and france with ddos mitigation. Let me know if that would help.

Sounds like an attack to me. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But, I will double-check with the developer (R_Yell) on that. PS: I didn't like that much either, and was able to block it by just preventing that domain name from resolving on my server with a hosts file. But again, I do not think that is necessary any more.

So, I was sorta wrong. It's not the format of the file. It actually is the wrong AppID in the file, but it wasn't a problem of my doing. You were correct that the wrong APPID was in the wrong file. FoF Client APPID = 265630 FoF Server AppID = 295230 The default steam_appid.txt files as distributed with SteamCMD are as follows: -->cat ~/srcds/fof-MASTER/steam_appid.txt 295230 -->cat ~/srcds/fof-MASTER/fof/steam_appid.txt 265630 This seems to make sense, but it's wrong and will prevent a server from serving clients. If you start a normal server installation, it appears to immediately overwrite the steam_appid.txt in the root of the installation with the Client APPID, so both files end up having APPID 265630 in them. However, I use a symlinked installation type server (my wrench script), and the master installation files are read-only, to prevent servers from modifying the files. Because the server can't change this master file when it starts, client authorization fails. The solution is to delete the steam_appid.txt symlink and replace it with a real file. The file needs to be fixed upstream.

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Someone on this list said they was able to load Sourcebans with MM:S and SM working using the latest snapshots. I took a chance and installed MM:S and SM on my Windows 2008 based FOF servers. I was never able to get SM to load. MMS did load. Prior to doing this, not a single crash. Now all four serverd have crashed numerous times and wouldn't auto-restart. I'm back to vanilla now and not a crash for the past few hours. Just an FYI to you all.
