I should explain my situation first and it is, that I am hosting free game servers for friends. So far I had steam servers only, but now that no steam is available, I said why I shouldnt try it. So I did and a day later, it seemed like random servers are going offline. The most interesting part is, that steam servers are going offline as well.
At first I was running 4 CSS no steam servers, I tryed connecting with legit account and no steam account, both worked. Then it seemed like a firewall malfunction, as it looked like it was blocking servers from being visible from other players (in-game list and HLSW) while you could connect to the server via connect IP:Port or you could send commands through HLSW, while it looked like it was offline. Just this morning, I checked every server, it was running fine, and now 2 servers are offline, both steam ones (while this did happen to no steam aswell). So I thot, maybe the no steam server is not meant to be running sideways with an original server, so I left only 2 no steam servers, which are still running.
Could it be possible that no steam servers uses other ports, else than the game port? I tryed shutting down firewall completely, and had no problems like this in my past.
Server is running Windows 2008 x64 on virus/malware/... free, only servers and remote desktop is running on it. I checked, there was no attacks on our servers in the past days, as it is bugging me so much. So I am turning to b00bs & company who, from my understanding have the most knowledge about this.
SHORT STORY:
I am running steam and no steam servers sideways, so far I had no problems running only steam servers, now random servers are going offline, just like firewall is blocking them. Tryed disabling firewall, restarting all servers & machine, no success.
My rev.ini (works with no steam & steam clients) I copyed Steam.exe from my computer from Steam Install, with the Steam whole directory. Copyed Steam.dll from the original server.
If something else is needed, please say it!
