I have the same problem

same here. try sudo docker logs {your container id}, I guess you will see this:

Here's my guess, the script uses steam api to fetch user data and the steam api failed initialization. 1 out of 5 times, I can succeed, most times, I just get failures.

Yes i also have this line, but those are "normal" from what I read.

Also, i have a test server running the dev branch of this project and the cmd return at least a empty list if any player. So i did a update from the docker image on the prod server. But still this problem append.

The other rcon-cli cmd works perfectly on both instances

From what I understand, RCON has issues with UTF-8 support. In my server, if there are users using character names (ex. Korean) other than English + numbers, the ShowPlayers command fails. However, before it was changed to rcon-cli (when it was separated in docker-complse.yml), it responded even if an error occurred, but after changing to rcon-cli, it does not respond at all.
