[Help] Left 4 Dead 2 Update - Insecure Lan Servers for Local Clients (Class C) Error?

[trancemode]

Server OS: Window Server 2008
Processor: Intel Dual E5405
Ram: 8GB
Game(s): Left 4 Dead 2
Start Up Command: -game left4dead2 -console -ip %serverip% -port %serverport% -maxplayers %slots% +map c1m1_hotel +exec server.cfg -verify_all running on TCadmin
Mods : none

Hello,

This isn't happening to all servers however I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this or know why this is happening.

After the recent update this past week,
server has no anti vac cheat and when you type "status" in HLSW
it comes up
"version : 2.0.5.2 4391 insecure (unknown)"

When you try to connect to the server,
I get an error saying
"Lan Servers are restricted to local clients (Class C)"
#Valve_Reject_LAN_Game

However, this isn't a lan server but a dedicated server.
Its Affecting ALL my Left 4 dead 2 servers, my other valve games all have vac secure enabled working and even left 4 dead 1.
Just this left 4 dead 2 is bothering me.

sv_lan is set at 0
sv_region is set normally.

Here is command line:
-game left4dead2 -console -ip %serverip% -port %serverport% -maxplayers %slots% +map c1m1_hotel

Nothing was changed on the server.
Tried a Server Reboot = No Results
Firewalls are properly configured
I did recently installed Symantec Endpoint and then removed it
not sure if that changed my firewall ports or such.

I tried to use debug mode and this is what console.log tells me

Sending heartbeat to master server...

When I set it up from STEAM dedicated server tools, some how it
the anti vac cheat and it shows secure which is odd.

However they are running both different protocol but same version
without steam tools its 2.0.5.2 (Windows, Dedicated, Protocol 7)
with steam tools its 2.0.5.2 (Windows, Dedicated, Protocol 4)

Anyone else experienced this for the last update?

Thanks.

Yes, I have the same problem. I have tried everything I could think of. Searched the net etc & finally just gave up. Took my L4D2 server offline waiting for the next update & hoping it will be fixed then.

I even did 2 totally fresh installs with nothing extra running. Same result:

************************************************
* Unable to load Steam support library. *
* This server will operate in LAN mode only. *
************************************************

Tried deleting numerous different files to no avail.

However my other server locations are fine.

I am not sure if this is related to the update which is basically blocking the master server from connecting.

I also did what you did:
fresh install, reinstall, etc.

still no luck as well.

I have been unable to find an answer to this problem. My other servers are also fine.

The only avenue left at this stage is waiting for another update & hope it is fixed then.

Maybe these can help?:

To me, it seems to be somekind of an permission issue. Have you tried to run the servers as an administrator?

[coach]

Unfortunately, all been tried.

Same here. No luck.

Could be the latest update affecting with this.

Have you tried to email this to the mailing list? If not, i could do it for you.

Actually this topic can be closed.

I have resolved this issue it seems like the recent L4D2 update had a problem with the administration rights.

Basically go to services, and I guess it has to have rights
so you have to login and it should work after a restart.

This won't resolve the issue for all server admin. I tried to run as admin and I still get the same error. This is on a Windows Server 2003 box. seems like this happens every 3 or 4 updates and we have to wait till they figure it out and fix the problem with the update.... I have had this same issue 4 or 5 times with my L4D2 server every few months since the game was released.

I guess running win2003 and trying to run a L4D2 server was my biggest mistake...

[coach]

The latest update fixed my server & it is all back to normal again.

Well, unless they do another update & then who knows.
