Arma 2 Steam Players Query protocol wont work today (A2S_PLAYER)

Recommended Posts

There is a new problem with Steam Query Protocol today:

Arma 2 servers dont send back players information after correct challenge response.

Challenge packet response is absolutelly correct!

It works with arma 3 servers but since today - not with arma 2.

Same problem in my C++, C# and PHP query libraries.

A2S_INFO response is correct but this request is not using challenge packet.

There was a similar problem with GameSpy query protocol when gamespy has finished (last 4 challenge bytes simply didnt sent back from the servers).

Is there also some sever-side dependencies on external services (ex. Steam/BE master servers) which can be down?

Example players query sent by me:

Sending player request to server: FF FF FF FF 55 FF FF FF FF

Challenge response from server: FF FF FF FF 41 AD EA 49 6

Sending player request with challenge to server: FF FF FF FF 55 AD EA 49 6

.... server closed connection

OK. It seems that players information is handled by Steam services which are currently down/broken or something..
