I added a bugtracker issue on server disconnects with a quote from Bliss. Please vote and add info http://www.il2bugtracker.com/issues/303
Please add a screenshot of the error messages if possible.

Because of this, when steam is performing maintenance or has a network problem, even for a split second, the client is disconnected and thus the server is disconnected.

Other steam servers for other games DO NOT work this way. Steam can be down for maintenance and the server software will always run. Obviously it will lose connection to the steam browser, but the only consequence of this is the server will obviously not be showing up in a steam browser, but it will continue to run.
