[SOLVED] Unable to Connect to Steam With More Than One Server at a Time
So I recently tried to set up 4 TF2 servers on the same IP address since I have dedicated hardware for it. There is a unique server folder for each copy of the game inside a singular Steam CMD folder. I have each process for the servers running as unique GNU Screens at the same time as each other so I can enter them easily when I want to. Each server boots one at a time, and everything runs smoothly until the next one attempts to connect to Steam, to which it succeeds and the original one will say
Connection to Steam servers lost. (Result = 34)
without fail. This issue does not occur with only one server.

Steps I've taken to rectify this:
-Default server ports set to UDP only on the server and router firewalls.
-Set default outgoing ports and set to UDP only
-Set default steam ports and set to UDP only
-Set default sports (VAC port) and set to UDP only
-Installed regular Steam client and made sure that
steamclient.so
was accessible at
~/.steam/sdk32
(because some reason it was not by default)

I am really running out of ideas on what to do here. Is there anything else I could do? Do I have to make an individual Steam CMD instance for each server instance?

You're launching all server applications with the same user? I'd say that'd be my first bet.

I forgot to reply that the solution was already found on the HLDS Linux mailing list. It was a simple matter of needing more Game Server Login Tokens. Didn't realize you needed more than one since I was using an anonymous user.
