Hi several of my regulars on our server were getting "server not
responding" yesterday on our game night. This is while many of us are in
the server actively playing on it without problem (regular 24 man with
about 12- 14 on it). Even game invites did not work consistently. Bear
in mind these are regulars who have played with us, with normal pings
and once they finally got in had normal pings. In addition several
clients, not the server itself, crashed or hung on map change. Nothing
new has been added since last we played although I did update all the
source mod plugins we already use. We have had ongoing other problems
which I won't get into (occasional server crash, on and off map change,
and general hit detection issues) but these particular ones are new. Not
sure what to look for in our server log or if anything would be there,
as these are client side occurrences, but client crashes did coincide
with server map change. Although probably unrelated I was also wondering
about this line...
L 09/19/2012 - 04:47:40: WARNING: ClientActive, but we don't know his
SteamID?
Which appears to have started showing up around the MVM update whether
you are running the mode or not.
Anyway any ideas on the "server not responding" or clients
crashing/hanging on map change problems?

Also check the server IP displayed in the game info window when it says "not
responding".
If it's not the real IP of the server, there's not much you can do - my understanding is
that this happens when your server loses connection to Valve, and when it reconnects
sometimes the IP address is incorrect, causing the failed invites and "Not
responding" errors.

You should be able to fix that by blocking tcp 27015, but it will also
disable the ability to use rcon. The problem is that tcp gets priority over
udp when the address is being rebound after the steam connection is lost.
But even if you do this, you'll still need to restart the server because
"heartbeat" doesn't re-authenticate your server with quickplay.
Fletcher was investigating the tcp issue a while back if I remember
correctly, but it doesn't appear that anything has come of it.
