What the GoldSrc network protocol number means, why non-Steam clients often speak 47 while Steam clients speak 48, and how dproto or Reunion let a server answer both.

Some clients get 'This server is using a different protocol' because CS 1.6 has two engine protocols, 47 and 48. Understand which client uses which and accept both with dproto.

What the protocol-mismatch rejection actually means, why the 25th Anniversary update caused a wave of it, matching client and server builds, and the steam_legacy rollback for both sides.
