[Solved] VAC playing tricks on me.

[Zylius]

Hello, I'm having problems with running VAC. The server starts perfectly (well, we all know that starting without errors in valve's coding is quite impossible), i only get minor materials/models errors. All servers report that Vac secure mode is enabled and that connection to steam servers was successful. I don't have any problems with CS:S, only with one TF2 server. I can close all CS:S servers but TF2 still won't show up as VAC enabled. If i type in "status" in server console, it says that server is secure, but if i look at my server info on favorite server list (steam) it says that it's insecure. The TF2 server doesn't seem to show up on masterserver either.
Server OS: 2008 R2 64-bit
Processor: AMD Athlon II x4 640 @ 3.7GHZ
Ram: 4GBs
Game(s): TF2 (vac problem) and 2 CS:S servers (no problems
Start Up Command: -game tf +maxplayers 24 +map pl_goldrush -port 27018 -console
I'm using latest stable release of metamod and sourcemod.
Bandwith: 300Mbps global.
I'm only using a switch (no router). I've tried disabling firewall - no luck. Help appreciated .
Thank you,
Zylius

the last day or so im having the same problem, i think it's a steam master server issue. closing steam before starting my servers will usually fix it, and sometimes it takes 3-5 restarts for it to work again and show in the list

Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit only, not 32-bit.

I'm sorry, you're right, I've copied info from another server and added R2. Fixed

I've solved it, not really solved it, I've made it to work. Redownloaded a clean copy of TF2 and restarted my server (pitty thoe since it was up for half a year).
