I don't know how, but a player is connecting to the server and immediately crashing it even before getting to the motd screen.
I was using HLSW to monitor the logs, and unfortunately their steamID doesn't validate quickly enough so it just shows them as STEAM_ID_PENDING.
This is what comes out
Then the server immediately crashes. I have absolutely no clue how they are doing it, but they must be using some exploit of some kind. For now I have used addip to ban them.

Code:
