Hi there, A customer gets the message Client timed out while answering challenge in CS 1.6. As I can see it on a screenshot it's after a sv_restartround. I cannot explain what this is, because it's the first time I hear about such a problem. Does someone has information about this? Server

Since the last update HLSW is unable to retrieve server logs, i can log on and execute commands, just not get any log info, chat/STEAM ID etc, so not very helpful at all. This is happening for both Linux and Windows administrators as well, one windows administrator i've seen post on the steam/hlsw

I can't answer your last questions, but I can say I have not had a problem connecting using Half-Life Server Watch to both of my servers. Maybe a firewall/router is blocking its ability to send outgoing connections? I am using 1.0.0.47 right now, the latest stable version I believe. There are

Sorry, i'm not in the habit of handing out my passwords to strangers i'm afraid :p I'll see what i can do about getting another admin to try though, so far it has just been me trying with HLSW. I checked the VAC thing on one updated server as well, HL2MP/CSS/DODS are all secure but with Hidden

Oh, I meant just make a dummy password. But I understand you completely, so not to worry :) Yeah, as you said, I would suggest getting another admin to try it out on their end and compare what happens. That way you could narrow down the problem with HLSW. Very strange problems with your VAC. I

Finally got hold of another admin to try it, he gets the same problem though, rollbacked server gives him the logs fine, the others he gets the time out error and no logs. I've also been in touch with another Windows server adminstrator whos having the same problem, he's got one server that he
