Re: [hlds_linux] Huge disconnects due to steam auth tickets?

2013-01-24 Thread Bruno Garcia 
I believe most of the problem was because Steam client took too much CPU
and since the auth ticket has a time window to be sent and received the
lack of CPU made it impossible to be sent in time and the steam server
would UN-authenticate you and the game server would eventually kick you.

This I believe, has been fixed, but perhaps (being VALVe and all) the bug
was re-introduced in some internal changes they might have done.

 On top of this if the server looses connection to steam there is always
 the no VAC connection statement which kicks all players as well. Both of
 which are common and happen to pretty much any server when there is
 problems with the route to steam servers, or the steam servers them
 selves.

 Also was it during a map change? If so that is also common,
 but not all players should have been kicked by that one. Just means they
 crashed during map change.

Then a AMD 1045T shouldn't have the issue correct when it has a load
of 0.00, right? Yet it still happens.
