In relation to this, i've previously seen major lagging time to time that hits when the round starts. At this time, one or more players drop off with message "no steam logon" (everyone propably remembers the case when server basically emptied out due to this) but due to recent change, it now says:

Player Herra Troot left the game (Client left game (Steam auth ticket has been canceled)) Player Oliolli left the game (Client left game (Steam auth ticket has been canceled))

The lagging (timeout timer comes up) only lasts about 2-10 seconds and immediately ends when one or more players drop off and everything is back to normal.

My question is, can a client that has issues cause the whole server to lag untill it gets the reply from steam to drop the player off and why do these players drop off in the first place as they have been on the game like every other guy next to them for couple of maps before this? Shouldn't those tickets automatically renew during gameplay? Atleast thats what i think my game is sometimes doing when it does a 1-2 seconds screenjam & soundloop.

Steam auth sometimes gets the blame when in fact the problem is just a 
plain-old-fashioned client timeout.  We have changed the messaging recently to 
make this more clear, but if you are running old binaries.

I do seem to remember that we fixed a similar DoS attack recently.

Can you confirm that you are running the latest binaries?  When you boot your 
server, does it spit out your public IP next to the message when your server 
connects to Steam?  Can you verify your files and make sure it doesn't pull 
anything down?

Your humble servant,

Subject: [hlds_linux] No Steam Logon - massive lag


Hi guys,
I'm running 6 TF2 servers which are quite popular. Anyhow, my server laggs, badly 
sometimes, and right after the spike a lot of players d/c with the "No Steam 
Logon" message. This is not related to a machine or any plugins I am running. This 
has happened a lot of times now, and I'm sick of it. What is wrong and why is it 
happening? Me and a friend were playing on two of our servers when we both lag out (red 
message in the top right corner) and then it stops and returns to normal, but half of the 
players are now gone.
Help?
