steam servers are busy from everyone trying to update their server

[bukemdown]

Yah im getting those bad challenges also, i think their people that have not update their games yet trying to connect to your server

HAHHAHAHAHAHHA

Thats the new setting valve added to the latest update.
The server is blocking all those queries.

try sv_enableoldqueries 1 and they will go away

[phnatom]

and where is there a list of any extra commands etc that they add found?

Just ingore it. That's not important.
You use Putty or other kinda program and SSH check from your own ip address

my only concern is that after i updated the server wont show up on hlsw at all!!!

i cant see anything wroing in the way its starting up, it even says connection to steam servers successful

I had that problem also.

if you add sv_enableoldqueries 1 to your server.cfg it'll work again.

Or you could update your HLSW to 1.0.0.42a and then you don't have to worry about the servers with admins that don't keep up their servers very well.
