Hi everyone, I recently purchased a VPS to run a gameserver on, I followed the tutorial on how to install steam and start a counterstrike source server, but for some reason, it only stays up for about 30 minutes and then times out. I have absolutely no idea what is wrong, Here is the tutorial I followed:

Counter-Strike - Creating a Counter-Strike Server - Linux: Install CS Source

And here is the error log:

Auto detecting CPU
Using default binary: ./srcds_linux
Server will auto-restart if there is a crash.
