No Change/Rejected FastDL Server Not Working

[shay]

Hello, the FastDL server is currently not working on all sneaK servers using it.

The direct links work and the files download, but when downloading via CS:GO, the operation fails. I tried joining foreign maps on servers with alternate FastDL servers and they download perfectly fine.

This bug has led to the player count dramatically decreasing based on the map popularity. For example, I was just playing surf_fortum with 26 players (it was the #1 surf server in player count) and once it switched to surf_grassland, the player count dropped to 6 players. I remedied this by manually downloading the resources but this is only a temporary fix.

I hope this is fixed since it can be detrimental to attracting fresh players.

If you can download via browser, then clearly the fastdl is working as intended. Players crash out on map switch often due to a csgo client bug.
