Since the last update my servers are acting weird.

I own 16 TF2 servers, all of them exactly with the same configuration (plugins and so on) the only different thing is the map.

Since the last update, my servers are receiving a message from (i think) the valve masterserver.

A2C_PRINT from 72.165.61.151:27011 :
No challenge for your address.
Another thing i've noticed is that the player count starts to grow without players ingame, and incrasing even more that the max players, i have seen a server of mine with 44/31 players, and it seems that im not the only one because in the server list there's servers with 108/24 players.

Is a non-stop message, it appears after 10 mins, if i restart the server everything is back to normality but after 10 mins, the same problems strikes again.

At a first i had a though that the problems may be my plugins, i've disabled ALL plugins (even metamod and sourcemod) and the problem persists.

Anyone can help me?

I just wanted to chime in and say last night's update brought several problems to my server, breaking several addons. I'm not sure how to help you but you are not alone. I woke up to find my server reporting 73/32 but that's because of Bot Manager.

Seems valve changed something important.

You are both not alone. It brought my servers down as well. However, weird part is, people can still join, but I'd like these errors to be gone as well. Hope someone get's back to us. I also made a post on SRCDS. (http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/13806).

FIXED!

I'd like to thank Volt (irl Brian) over at The Drunken Brawl!

It is a DoS attack. It can be resolved by installing this plugin.

Hope this works for you guys. It has seemed to resolve my issue already!

Thanks,
Ry

Well I took a look into this plugin and tried it, but it doesn`t seem to block these A2C_Print - messages .. since there is no source available or anything, I am currently not too sure wether to trust this plugin at all or not.. If anybody experiences these messages, too, please post here or write a PM.

Edit : it` s the steam-servers themselves sending out these messages, so I just cannot belive it` s really a DoS-attack.. I think Valve has just messed up anything again with the last update. I` d be very happy about any further information.
