Hello, I was investigating a report that CheckValve shows mangled information for HLTV servers, and I discovered that HLTV returns two response packets to an A2S_INFO query. The first response is in the old GoldSrc format (with header byte 0x6d) and the second response in the Source format (with header byte 0x49). I tested this on a few Windows-based HLTV proxies I found at random online, and also on one which I just set up on Linux. They definitely all return two responses.
I'll adjust CheckValve to either ignore the first packet, or handle the old GoldSrc response format. But I'm curious, does anyone know why HLTV does this? My understanding was that the old GoldSrc response format had been completely removed and everything was using the Source format now. Thanks!
