Title: WB Invalid Steam User ID Ticket
Post by: Troy on January 17, 2014, 01:53:17 am: Yesterday a friend of mine reported he was having this issue. I had him delete clientregistry.blob, restart steam and it still didn't work. Next I had him delete everything but Steam.exe, steamapps and friends, restart steam and it did the same thing. I went ahead and tried my GE:S and I'm also experiencing this.

Post by: StupidMarioBros1Fan[1138] on January 17, 2014, 02:48:40 pm: It happens on servers that are VAC protected, I was able to play on a server without getting that error and it wasn't VAC protected, all the other servers that were would give me that error, so maybe VAC is having a problem.

Post by: El Dudereno on January 17, 2014, 02:58:29 pm: Can't we just disable VAC temporarily like this server Mario mentioned or is that a bad idea?

It's not necessarily VAC. SRCDS makes no attempt to validate a Steam account if it's started with -insecure. (if it were VAC, you'd be getting a VAC connection error.) Server ops could try this temporarily, but I dread that option, even if the ratio of hacking accusations to actual hackers is 50000:1.

Post by: bvav22 on January 20, 2014, 04:59:59 pm: I have been testing this out. I cannot connect to any of the servers listed. However if I host a server through my game client, people can connect with no invalid ticket error.

When I host with my dedicated server, myself and others cannot connect due to the invalid ticket error. I have tried it both secure and unsecured. The only way it seems to play on a server currently is to host through the game client?

Edit:

Apparently this is a steam issue. I read on the steam forums that having the steam client running on the machine with the dedicated the server is a temp fix. I do have a server running now and it is working. My server is called BVAV's Goldeneye Source 4.2.4 if anyone wants to play.
