When attempting to join a community server, this error message appears. This was after the game server was updated, new login tokens, new account identity credentials. What am I missing?

This is caused by a sourcemod extension, specifically plugins using: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=162489

So do we just disable plugins?

And this has nothing to do with login tokens or those cl_gameserver_create_identity things, right?

Same issue. Disabling Connect extension helped

Mooshua commented 4 months ago

This issue is not caused by connect! This is a bug in the Steam authentication flow which allows an unauthenticated client to play for extended amounts of time, likely due to a transient failure in the Steam client.

I have no reproduction but rebooting the Steam service always fixes it. Going offline/online also worked the one time I tried it.

Disabling connect is not a true fix, the bug will still occur, players will not be authenticated and they will eventually be booted by VAC if the client doesn’t sort itself out in time.
