I host many SRCDS instances on a single machine with LGSM.

Some of them work fine, but I have an exception - Retakes servers.
It's forked to 4 servers in the same directory, they all share the same plugins and configs.

Server #1: reports 7/10 in the server browser. In fact there's 0 players in.
Server #2: reports 6/10, 0 players in.
Server #3: reports 1/10, 0 players in.
Server #4: reports 4/10, 0 players in.

Code:
status
hostname: my server's name here
version : 1.36.1.9/13619 636/6974 secure  [G:1:steam]
udp/ip  : my ip here:27100  (public ip: my ip here)
os      :  Linux
type    :  community dedicated
map     : de_train
players : 0 humans, 0 bots (10/0 max) (not hibernating)

# userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state rate adr
#end
My console is often spammed with this, but different addresses - can it be the reason for it?

No idea what might be the cause for it.
It drives me crazy, and makes people think we fake player counts to look better.
