Santiago's advice helps me a bit (can now connect to just more than setti's servers from the main screen) but theres still a lot of servers I cant connect to (different errors like banned or steam validation reqd).

For those of you who are a tad confused with Santiago's advice. If you are runnin Windows 7 you have to open Notepad as administrator (Start and type notepad in search box, right click on result, run as administrator). Once launched, File, Open and browse to your CS install directory and go to the cstrike folder, change file type to all files at the bottom of the browse window and open the steam.inf file. Make the modification on the first line to .71, save it and relaunch CS. Should allow you to connect to a few more servers in the list - did for me....

Nah thats not it, the steam.ini file says 1.0.0.70 in the server as well.

Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM)
Fixed a Linux dedicated server crash in vphysics.so

A bug introduced by the 1.0.0.63 update. Way to go Valve and HPE!

Anyone knows how I can prevent my server from being considered 'idle'? My servers are loaded as 2 windows services via FireDaemon so that they run even if the server PC isn't logged into a user account.

Problem is that after this patch, the server FPS is capped at 250 and occasionally stutters. This has never been an issue before.

another steam update has come out to probly fix the name change and the other issues u guys are having so it sounds like we get to wait again wooo hooo

nah those were nonsteam issues only. The game is running fine on my Steam setup.
