TF2 Connection Flooding

[XtremeGamingWid]

After updating to the newest TF2 build, my server is getting flooded with connections, clients constantly disconnecting and connected, almost seems like a DOS attack on the server it' self.

Removed all mods, cleared out CFG file, changed the IP of the server, and it's still getting pummeled.

Any ideas?

High volume of traffic?

Very high, keeps the server full at all times and there are several connects and disconnects, 100's of IP's. I've never seen a dos through srcds before, and thats what i think it may be. I put a password on the server to stop the connections, but obviously, this is not a permanent solution.

I finally got in, these people who can maintain a connection are infact "playing" on the server.

Maybe 100's of people are trying to join your server because its full. They want to play on a full server so they keep trying to join... I think its just because of the latest update and the lack of updated servers.

When my customers updated their servers each TF2 server I hosted was at its max.

No, this was an attack we are talking 200 + connections every 10 seconds. connecting so fast and disconnecting right away.

Somebody must hate you.

I'm sure some of those can be applied to TF2
