All Admin functions ceased working after today's update (8-21)

WebNoob · **Author**

Hiya folks,

So - I'm having the strangest issue. After today's TF2 update, all my admin functions have ceased working on all TF2 servers. As far as I can tell, all other Sourcemod plugins are working correctly, and I don't see any other problems with the servers (and no errors in the logs).

Usually, this would indicate some kind of database issue, but accoring to the logs, there are no connection problems.

I'm running Sourcebans 1.4.10 on windows 2008r2 servers.

Any ideas where the problem could be?

Me too. Admin.cfg looks fine. No database issue. Plugins loaded. No errors. No admin :-(

Type "status" in console. Looks like Valve's suddenly changed how Steam IDs are written.

The issue seems to be changes with Auth strings. Typing 'status' into the console shows my line as this:

Code:

#     27 "Derek"             [U:1:96574113]      03:44      140    0 active

Rather than as something like this:

Code:

#     27 "Derek"             STEAM_0:1:48287056      03:44      140    0 active

This change was not included in the patch notes, at that. This will likely require you to re-enter these new Steam IDs into your database. :\

Yeah there seems to be an issue going on, even my servers and my test server is affected.

I remember this occuring back during christmas when steam suffered from the ddoses, it could be the same issue again or possibly they've changed how the steamids get handled now.

Gah. Crap this sucks.

Jesus, why the hell would they do such a thing without warning anyone.

Sourcebans wont take the new format either. GG Valve...

Yeah. My server has been pretty much crippled as of the update. So are we just replacing the original STEAM IDs with the new ones?

On a side note, hey Derek!

Bots are unaffected, their STEAMID is still BOT
