Hi, I am think I can add something to this: there is quite the thread<http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2173772>on the forum. Evidently source dedicated server (steam-delivered version -- hldsupdatetool / orange-box is still fine) stopped working for multiple people with the, "Manniversary" update on 10/13. The comments are all the same, "working just fine before, can't connect to own server after." One poster claims he got Tony Paloma interested and he said he'd look into it, but Steam Support won't even acknowledge the problem. After two different tickets beset by slow response and inapplicable FAQ references in what responses did return, I finally got a, "we don't support servers." My experience is not unique.
The only silver lining to the cloud is that the orangebox server works just fine -- this problem only affects the Steam server. Symptom is, "Steam validation rejected" on the client side and, "S3: Client connected with ticket for the wrong game: UserID: 2" on the server console. I even went to the trouble of copying steam_appid.txt everywhere I could think of, to no avail. Bottom line -- it's a real bug in the Steam-delivered version of srcds that came down with the 10/13 update, is not being acknowledged by official channels and is causing much frustration. If anyone on this list has any insight or further information on this problem, I think quite a few people would be interested. Thanks, Chris.
