Everyone who's not getting gift drops on halloween map
koth_viaduct_event, check that your server.cfg has these lines as they are:
tf_server_identity_account_id XX
tf_server_identity_token "12345678901232"
So XX is your ID, and you need to have the token in quotes.
Also make sure that when you see your token and account id within your
game account that you registered your servers with, that the final DOT
on the output is NOT part of the token! If you include that in
tf_server_identity_token, your auth will fail.
Other than that, it's like Fletcher said, do not add the equal sign if
you are old timer who registered server long ago.

I think there may be more than one problem.
I'll add the registration status to the status display so it can be checked at
any time.

Fletcher - Would it be possible to add in a command to make the server
give us the on-boot authentication string at will? It doesn't seem to
report that on map change, only when the server is first starting up,
and if your server happens to be populated at the time, it's a death
sentence to ask us to reboot the server just to check if we're
authenticating correctly.
Also: my server's identity token didn't have quote marks in it, so I
added that and I'm testing now. But, my other 3 servers don't have
quote marks either, so it's strange that just the one server would be
having the problem. There was no = sign in the token string.

Same here. Gifts drop for a while then stop, with a full server. Have to
restart to get them back. Rinse, repeat. Love the event, though. Glad you
guys are running it as long as you are. :)

My gameservers run halloween maps 24/7 without any mapchanges.
This morning they dropped gifts without any problems, but a few hours
later they stopped dropping the gifts.
I changed nothing during the runtime and all servers are successfully
registered. Only a complete server restart solved the problem.
After the restart the gift drops were back.
Atm it seems that they stopped dropping gifts again. 30 players on it,
registered, get gifts earlier this day and now - nothing.
Is there any "registration timeout" or something like that active?

One last thing.
You *should* see either this line:
Game server authentication: SUCCESS! Standing: %s. Trend:
%s
or this line:
Game server authentication: FAILURE!
Pretty soon upon boot. If you don't that means your server is not even
attempting to sign on, and there's probably something wrong with the
convars.
If you see the SUCCESS! message, but are still not getting Halloween
drops, please post that fact on this list.
Your humble servant,
Fletch

If your server is not getting Halloween drops, check if your config file
has an '=' in the lines to set the registration convars.
Also, make sure you put the identity token in quotes.
If you have these two problems, you probably (quite reasonably) cut and
paste the two config file lines from the client console when you registered
your server. That output erroneously had the ='s in them, and did not quote
the identity token. We fixed the output soon after we shipped the
registered server feature, which explains why a lot of people not getting
the drops are also saying that they have been registered for a long time.
In case that does not fix the problem, the next update will provide more
verbose logging so such errors will not go undetected for so long.
Your humble servant,
Fletch
