I would report this on the amxx forums, as it looks like its in the clientcvar querying part of metamod/amxx

Nvermind, just found this on hlcoders:

Hello,

We tried asking Valve about this directly but got no response.

The client cvar querying stuff is broken (as I explained earlier) but the
appropriate fix was denied. Our workaround for this was to implement a
queue system in Metamod on the unwritten guarantee that the client,
unless they disconnected, would always give a reply to a client cvar
query.

Unfortunately this isn't the case - if you query a client with an
unknown/non-existant cvar, you never get a reply, completely invalidating
the queue idea. I can think of three solutions:
- We have to set a time-out time for cvar replies (UGLY!)
- Valve makes clients reply with empty or preset/special string.
- Valve fixes the API so query callbacks get the queried cvar name.

This is a serious bug which basically makes this nice new system entirely
useless. Any suggestions from Valve's end?

Thanks,

You'll have to wait for a fix :/
