A new development. For the last few days, I wasn't able to establish a client
connection to my server at all after it started up. A connection would always
either crash the client or crash the server immediately. However, I just
restarted my server for the billionth time, and this time I was able to find it
in the master list and connect to it just fine. I ran around the map for a
little while with no problems.
A map change on the console is what always causes the server to lock up for 5
minutes and then give the Steam support library error, so I decided to try it
from the client and see what happened. I attempted to change the map via rcon
("rcon map de_dust2") and it did the same thing, and my client immediately got
disconnected from the server with the error "Disconnect: Server shutting down."
Unless some miracle patch comes out, I think my days of running a CS:S server
might be over, because this update done broke it but good. :-(
