[404UserNotFound]

For some reason, my server is having trouble figuring out admins. I'm using admins_simple.ini, everything was working up until recently. I'm not sure what changed or what happened but now, for a short while, SourceMod can determine staff properly, and then once it's done waiting for players, it just seems to forget half the staff because half the players on the server still have their rank and access, but the other half don't.

Also, I'm using the old "STEAM_0:0:00000000" format of Steam IDs in my admins_simple.ini. I have a feeling it was the latest auth changes by KyleSanderson on the git that may be behind this issue. I'm running my server on a VPS running Ubuntu 15.10 by the way.

I didn't update any of my server's stock SourceMod plugins with the plugins from 1.8.0.5947, I just updated extensions/gamedata/data/bin.

But it doesn't tell me which plugins can't run, and sm plugins list shows they're all fine and working. I really wish that error message would tell you which plugin is "not runnable".

You've failed to mention a game.

Team Fortress 2. My bad

From what I learned in Sourcemod, those errors sometimes appear from plugins that are working "fine" when typing "sm plugins list" but actually, they're not.

Did you check the first line of your error logs? Try scanning those to find out the reason of these errors.

This is an entire log file:

Not much info to be found there, as you can see.

I have a feeling the issue may be my fault, so I'm gonna try symlinking my sourcemod test server's sourcemod install into the main server and see if that runs fine like it does on my test server. If it does, then it's an issue with my main server's sourcemod install.

Also, another weird issue is this:

Player Do it the other way around? (STEAM_ID_STOP_IGNORING_RETVALS) has connected.

I'm using my own custom connection message plugin that displays the Steam3 ID in parenthesis, but lately it's been borking out and doing that.

I just saw from a website that some people have been dealing with this lately and one of them found a temp solution -> Disabling/changing "SteamAuthstringValidation" from "yes" to "no".

I know it decreases the security of the server, making other people steal/copy an admin's SteamID but you don't have to worry about them as long as you have a plugin that can tell whether or not that person is the real admin. (i.e sv_password checker)

Or.....

It means that GetClientAuthId / GetClientAuthString returned false and you tried to use the string it returned you passed to it to fill anyway.

Again, what's the value of SteamAuthstringValidation?
