Were there any registration/quickplay backend changes since yesterday's update? My server has for the past month or so been struggling with quickplay traffic almost never coming in reliably. But immediately after applying this update and restarting, the server filled within 3 minutes even though it was just an "optional" update so there shouldn't have been a server shortage. Previously it was reporting in "status" as registered and people would still come in in small bursts once there were 4-6 players but it was unreliable. Now it filled instantly at 2PM Eastern time after applying an irrelevant update and has stayed full since then. The only strange thing is that immediately before I shut down the server (which was empty) to apply the update, the status had changed to this:

account : not logged in  (Cannot locate owner's steam account)

But I have never seen this until today, and just this one time, and of course after restarting the server it logged in normally and traffic immediately came in. Absolutely no configuration changes were made in the interim. In case anyone at Valve wants to poke around, the account_id is 409.

Thanks,
