PS: More specifically, on a non-BETA TF2 client, trying to connect to the current BETA TF2 server, the client connects, seems to work for a few seconds, then throws a dialog with the error:
"Disconnected" (Title) "Disconnected: Your client has failed to authorized in time. Please reconnect or restart your game." Restarting the game does not help. Playing on non-BETA TF2 servers seems to work fine.
