I have already read several pages reguarding this error, but none have workd.


STEAMAUTH : Game Server SendUserConnectAndAuthenticate returned error (my ip and port)


I did read and try the Steam_AppID.txt, but that was on the client side. I just built this on an Ubuntu server, I have the server running, and this pops on the console section.


I think this might be a server side issue.


If it helps I followed this document to a tee....
<a href="http://danielgibbs.co.uk/scripts/roserver/" target="_blank">[url]http://danielgibbs.co.uk/scripts/roserver/[/URL]
and Daniel Gibbs if you are out there, thanks for the great script! and supplying it. Made setup a snap.


Anyway, I can see my server in the public internet list, but I get denied at the client with "An unknown steam error is preventing you to connect to this server"


I can and have played hours with this client. Its got to be a server side issue in the settings.


Thanks in advance.
 
Here is the console log for the server from the time of start up to the time of connection error.

I noticed at beginning I get
STEAMAUTH : SteamAPI_Init failed
, but later on I get
STEAMAUTH : Steam auth system activation successful
so I am not sure the first one is a problem or not.

========console log (ip has been changed)==============

solved, it was the serverfiles/system/steam_appid.txt file after all

it contained 1210.

took a while to figure out which one was needed, I saw a tip to create a shortcut from the steam client on the desktop and look at properties. There it had a link to steam://rungameid/1200 and I used 1200 as the steam_appid and restarted the server and now it lets me in.
