I'm on windows (win2k3x64) with forked (multiple) servers and am seeing the same thing. Sometimes it happenes after people leave like FPSB | Goerge mentioned. Other times I'll check the console and see the example below and at this point all of our servers won't show in the clients steam group and start rejecting connection attempts.

An example of a rejection request: RejectConnection: 213.239.209.221:54130 - This server is using a newer protocol (1014) than your client (7). Now we've tested this and my admins with current game files can't connect to our up-to-date game servers. ________________________________ From: Jonah Hirsch <crazydog...@gmail.com> To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2009 8:18:03 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] L4D search_key server good for only 1 use? I've been told this has been happening on my servers since the recent update. The search key will stop working until I restart my servers. I also am running on linux with forked servers.
