Players failing to authenticate with steam

[Wheretf2]

Hello,

I'm running a retry on restart plugin that seems to be conflicting with StAC

When the server is restarted, players that automatically connect are not verified through steam and have their steamID reported as "STEAM_ID_STOP_IGNORING_RETVALS" through client console, which the server also seems to be working off of; ex for bans it will report the steamID as the above which naturally is an issue

It's worth noting the server console status command will report the correct uniqueid, but the client console will not

code for that plug-in looks innocent, though I didn’t know about _restart as I use quit; does that behave differently?

i dont know if this is a stac issue frankly
stop ignoring retvals is a sourcemod thing
i dont know how that would end up in client console

@Wheretf2 Run version; plugin_print; meta version; meta list; sm version; sm exts list; sm plugins list in server console and post output here please. But first, let me know if this is still an issue with 6.1.4. Ty

Thank you!

Unload SMRCon (which is no longer needed or useful as far as I know) and sigmod (which I'm pretty sure has a similar hook to Connect), and see if this still persists. Also, SourceMod 1.12 isn't stable, and could definitely be causing problems as well.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, but wanted to update this issue that the conflict was related to "[09] Connect (1.2.1) by Asher "asherkin" Baker"
Updating to 1.2.0 resolved the issue

Thank you!

[sapphonie]

@Wheretf2 you mean 1.4.0? this issue should be fixed with stac 6.1.5, which updates connect as well
