WARNING: Code checksum mismatch - [-73784530] old match (name)(846011401)(ip)(sec=382)
WARNING: Parameter checksum mismatch: TimeSinceRequest:350 ms (name)(846011401(ip)(sec=382)
lol should I be concerned this appeared all of a sudden; even though the player had been playing for some time (so I know the map dload was complete)
And.. what do these mean.. obviously checksum is making sure it was valid; but... any other details of why this occurs might be nice ty

Code checksum guarantees the client hasn't been modified.
Parameter checksum guarantees the settings haven't been modified.
Level checksum guarantees the map hasn't been modified.
Thsi can be caused by using a bad bot, or tweaked client, in zones that allow VIE. It can also be caaused by a corrupt packet, which would normally be from a bad/noisy connection.
Parameter checksum can be caused when settings are changed right when the server requests this security check, which is done every 2 minutes.
In all cases, I wouldn't worry about it, unless the player exhibits strange behavior, or it happens every 2 minutes over and over.
