I may have missed something, there has been a lot of activity in the list lately and I have not had time to read it all. But, is anyone else seeing this type of entry in their logs?
--------------------------------------------------------- Connection to Steam servers successful. VAC secure mode is activated. Adding master server 69.28.151.162:27010 Adding master server 68.142.72.250:27010 Dropped (some player) from server Reason: Error verifying STEAM UserID Ticket(server was unable to contact the authentication server). --------------------------------------------------------- I had him connect to another public server: --------------------------------------------------------- NET Ports: server 27015, client 27005 Server IP address 172.28.0.100:27015 Connecting to 64.81.60.168:27017...

His client reports he is in good standing with VAC. I followed the advice on the support forum and even generated the following regedit script to create the entries for the Windows Firewall: --------------------------------------------------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameter s\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List] "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\sessmgr.exe"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\sessmgr.exe :*:Disabled:@xpsp2res.dll,-22019" "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\team fortress classic\\hl.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\team fortress classic\\hl.exe:*:Enabled:Half-Life Launcher" "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\ricochet\\hl.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\ricochet\\hl.exe:*:Enabled:Half-Life Launcher" "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\opposing force\\hl.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\opposing force\\hl.exe:*:Enabled:Half-Life Launcher" "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\half-life\\hl.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\half-life\\hl.exe:*:Enabled:Half-Life Launcher" "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\deathmatch classic\\hl.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\deathmatch classic\\hl.exe:*:Enabled:Half-Life Launcher" "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\day of defeat\\hl.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\day of defeat\\hl.exe:*:Enabled:Half-Life Launcher" "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\counter-strike\\hl.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\counter-strike\\hl.exe:*:Enabled:Half-Life Launcher" "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\condition zero deleted scenes\\hl.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\condition zero deleted scenes\\hl.exe:*:Enabled:Half-Life Launcher" "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\condition zero\\hl.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\(some player)\\condition zero\\hl.exe:*:Enabled:Half-Life Launcher" "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\Steam.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\Steam.exe:*:Enabled:Steam" --------------------------------------------------------- All to no avail. He still can not get passed the error.
