Another thought:
"Game mismatch" may be misleading, the error message displayed ""Kicked by Steam: Your Authentication data is from another game" is saying something else, i.e. that the server is using authentication from another instance of the game maybe?
AFAIK the dedicated server does not use the users id, so what id is it using? I'll have to check my working server and compare.
Interesting. It might be a fluke or real progress. We would have to see the new logfile to know. To check for a fluke, first reboot the server and start it again. If it again hangs then it seems no fluke and we did something beneficial and we should look into the logfile again
