Hi, I have the same issue. TF2 does not split packets for Source queries, instead cuts the reply off after 1260 bytes. This happens for A2S_RULES and A2S_PLAYER, although the latter only goes past that limit if you make your server 32 slots and add 32 bots with a maximum length name (using the command 'bot -name somethinglong' 32 times).
Both external and the game itself display the information incomplete for such a server, so it's not just my implementation at fault, it's the same story for every other query tool out there. I also tried to rule out previously suggested network issues by listening for larger or additional packets, even from 127.0.0.1 (localhost), but there is nothing. Server is running without plugins on a 64bit Linux machine. I haven't had the chance to test with a Windows server yet. If there's no workaround and this won't be fixed, I guess I should switch to using RCON for obtaining that information for my simple clan webinterface? In the meantime I added a warning to the Server queries wiki page.

If the packet is big enough (1260+ bytes) it will be truncated.
