I attached a debugger and saw that it was running through a pretty small piece of code that probably had to do with waiting for another thread, over and over again. I did a manual crash dump using DrWatson, but its 64bit so I cant open it on my home PC.

Re: [hlds] status command highly rate limited even for local console?
I only noticed that when I do this on my Win servers console, the first attempt works, but successive ones will not yield a response until about 15 seconds have passed - I suspect some kind of spam protection... - Original Message - From: "Harry Strongburg" To: ; Sent: Saturday, August 21, 2010 14:56 Subject: [hlds] status command highly rate limited even for local console? If I do a remote status from in-game without rcon, it often will not reply anything. If I do it using rcon, same thing. If I screen -Urx tf2 (attaching to the local TF2 screen), and do it there, the same thing happens. I must spam it, usually at least 10 times, to get any reply. This happens on both srcds_win, srcds_linux, and a local Source game (in my testing, anyways). It happens on both modded servers, and vanilla ones. This also happens to me in on CS:S, and other Source games. Does this happen to anyone else? If so, can this please be patched please? It is hard to get SteamIDs now when you need to send the command 20 times just to get it to reply.

I would have hoped you'd add in a cvar to disable the mode even when it's on the "forced" day. NO-FUN-ALLOWED.jpg!
