Re: [hlds] Servers lost connection to steam but it hasnt
Just noticed this happening to me to. What would be really nice is a command to force the connection to steam to retry. I imagine it would need some kind of cooldown which im sure some will say mitigates the need for it in the first place but if the command displayed some output about the connect sequence then we might be able to determine if there is some other problem on the client (eg srcds server steam client) side preventing connectivity.

There are log files server side to check the connection. Just noticed this happening to me to. What would be really nice is a command to force the connection to steam to retry.

Re: [hlds] Servers lost connection to steam but it hasnt
I think steamcloud is very unstable right now due to the high volume of people playing. Just a hunch tho! I got items last night but couldn't equip them. A quick restart of steam usually solved my problem, but thats not really fixing the underlying problem at all. Chances are, your servers are fine and steamcloud is the one down.

Re: [hlds] Servers lost connection to steam but it hasnt
Happening here too (on windows and linux servers). Can you please change the wording of the message that notifies the players of the connection issues? That message seems to suggest that it is a gameserver problem, while it always is a problem on the Steam servers side. I just hate having a dozens of players ask me or in the forums I CAN'T USE MY WEAPONS!!! FIX IT :) Thanks Claudio -- http://www.wantedgov.it On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 7:36 PM, Petri de Wet pee...@telkomsa.net wrote: This is really getting on my nerves players on my servers keep saying that the servers have lost connection to steam but i restart the servers and the second they connect nothing has changed.

Re: [hlds] Servers lost connection to steam but it hasnt
Problem indeed is at Valve's end, not your servers. Today when i connect to my servers to play, it says blabla bla steam blabla and only default weapons are available but once i play 5-10 mins, suddenly the stuff starts to work. I have restarted servers multiple times to see if it has any effect - it does not. Just need to wait for free weekend to end so things will get back to normal, that is, if there is another update that fixes the current exploits and crash issues on clients. -ics f0rkz kirjoitti: I think steamcloud is very unstable right now due to the high volume of people playing.

Re: [hlds] Servers lost connection to steam but it hasnt
I am sure they aren't going to change the wording and then rebuild the game just because their servers are too full. Give it time and tell your players to stop whining, its not your servers. -f0rkz On Fri, 2009-12-18 at 19:48 +0100, Claudio Beretta wrote: Happening here too (on windows and linux servers).

Re: [hlds] Servers lost connection to steam but it hasnt
Might be related - After the update the only way for me to connect to my server was through X-Fire. Trying to use the browser wouldn't work until the first time I connected via X-Fire. I also had a player come in and claim that my server showed it was almost full when we only had 6 players. I checked the browser and only saw 6/32 on the list.

Amen! Now only if they fixed the crash problem we'd be in business.
