My gameservers run halloween maps 24/7 without any mapchanges.
This morning they dropped gifts without any problems, but a few hours later they stopped dropping the gifts. I changed nothing during the runtime and all servers are successfully registered. Only a complete server restart solved the problem. After the restart the gift drops were back. Atm it seems that they stopped dropping gifts again. 30 players on it, registered, get gifts earlier this day and now - nothing. Is there any "registration timeout" or something like that active?

You *should* see either this line: Game server authentication: SUCCESS! Standing: %s. Trend: %s or this line: Game server authentication: FAILURE! Pretty soon upon boot. If you don't that means your server is not even attempting to sign on, and there's probably something wrong with the convars. If you see the SUCCESS! message, but are still not getting Halloween drops, please post that fact on this list.

Also, make sure you put the identity token in quotes. If you have these two problems, you probably (quite reasonably) cut and paste the two config file lines from the client console when you registered your server. That output erroneously had the ='s in them, and did not quote the identity token. We fixed the output soon after we shipped the registered server feature, which explains why a lot of people not getting the drops are also saying that they have been registered for a long time. In case that does not fix the problem, the next update will provide more verbose logging so such errors will not go undetected for so long. Your humble servant, Fletch
