OB (TF2 !?) Servers will always throw "TimeoutException" when trying to query them #96

Hi .. when trying to query a TF2-Server, I am always getting TimeoutExceptions. Just using the example code here on github .. if I query a L4D or L4D2 - server, everything works fine. This must have changed with one of the last updates, my php-script integrated in my clanpage worked fine before, suddenly it throws exceptions.

There was an update yesterday with the following change:

Improved engine handling of server queries

Seems like this broke something. I'll investigate.

Problem occurs with HL2 Servers also, after latest update

From the HLDS mailing list:

Terrific. It seems that with this update the servers stopped responding to A2A_PING. Guess I have to use A2S_INFO now even though I just want to know if the server is alive."

Seems like don't using the servers' init(), getPing() and updatePing() is a workaround.

I'll watch the progress on this issue, maybe Valve will fix this soon.

By the way, this is now fixed in master and should be available in a new version soon.
