Steam ID reported incorrectly?

Have any of you heard of this.. I have a CTF server, it seems to be fine except for one thing, if you join the server and do a 'status' it will report you as having a different Steam ID than your actual ID. This is happening to others not just myself and it is only on the CTF server, other servers report correctly. If you want to see for yourself, here is the IP:

208.70.77.162:27040

I'm asking because I have a ticket in but i'm not sure the hosts understand what is going on. They asked me to update the server via Steam which I had already done by the time they asked and it didn't solve anything. I've already reinstalled the server and that didn't fix anything either so I'm thinking its either a Steam bug or they have some problem with the server itself. Any ideas?

Thank you.

Wow that is a weird one. I have never heard of it, but Ill check in DM to see if it happens there.

Could it also be a problem with the way the mod is seen via Steam?

No because i've had other CTF servers before and this hasn't been a problem. I even had a CTF server with this same host and didn't have a problem.

Um yes its completely wrong.
STEAM_0:0:1589699801 my real id is 6 long.

Other servers work fine.

I did notice the server is in HL2DM mode, try it in "pro" mode thats the only differene i can see between yours and the others.

Just having the same bug at Mani (+ keeper +keerep league +detox). All the time new ID`s. After some fruitless changes on server I think that recent Steam update has caused this crap :x
At my server I`m losing admin, and banned users feel free...
