Client Timeouts

[Alkaline]

Was watching my server for a bit and I couldn't help but notice a nice list of timeouts, and it's not just my server from the looks of it. Anybody heard anything on this?

Yup I was just playing on my server for about 1 - 2 hours and I noticed it a lot as well. It wasn't happening to me personally at all before today. I guess it caught up with me. It happens often to (not just to me but others as well) and ruins gameplay. I have no clue about what is causing the server to make so many clients timeout but I even tried running a bare server and it still happens. Either the mod itself is doing this or steam, not pointing fingers but Im not sure what else it could be. Any insight on this would be greatful because I can only put up with this for so long seeing that it is getting worse the older my server gets.

K I checked the hlds mailing list and obviously its widespread css/tf2 and so on, so it's a valve issue, nothing new.

I've been timing out a lot lately on CSP and CS:S servers, and nothing changed on my part so it is probably a HLDS issue as stated above^^^

They are saying it's a VAC timeout, It was suggested to log out - delete your clientregistry.blob in your steam folder and log back in, I haven't tried it yet (Lasy). Annoys me that I have to delete that file on the regular just to keep playing right.
