There are some posts on the steampowered forums on this issue too. Plus rumors that it might be an attempt at limiting idling, except it seems to affect non-idle maps/servers.

The old adage of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" comes to mind. G. On Feb 17, 2010, at 7:31 PM, Nick Turner <[email protected]> wrote: > The HLDS list has a thread on the same issue.
