Thread: Great games and a special visitor

My server is having this issue. I've tried the steam forums, closed a bunch of servers on my machine, added an SSD to speed up load times, and a few other things.

Nothing fixes it. I believe it is a Valve/Steam issue, as others are having the same problem. I've looked at my logs and I'm not even close to the bandwidth limit, CPU limits, and that SSD loads maps in 2-3 seconds. So it's not a timeout issue on my end. Furthermore, other games are going while one game gets disconnected. I don't know exactly the problem, but since not all my servers are disconnecting (and they are on the same internet connection and physical server), I am pretty sure it's not on my end.

I'll def. let everyone know if I find that magic bullet that fixes it. I'm still searching

It seems by looking around that it is indeed a steam/valve issue. When the server tries to contact valve to upload stats, if it can't connect, it times out the players in that game.

I am hoping steam/valve come out with a patch for that. I'd like to see an option to batch send the stats rather than do it in real time. Or it could keep trying while the next round is in progress.

This is by far the most buggy Valve game I've owned. I hope they keep working on it. I'm am glad they've fixed most issues thus far though.
