As a workaround you can launch srcds manually : Steam/steamapps/accountname/source 2007 dedicated server/srcds.exe -steam -game tf It should work if you have the right steam_appid.txt
As it's a bug in steamworks and not in the game itself I doubt it will be fixed soon. 2011/10/30 Chris Green <chris.h.gr...@gmail.com> > Hi, > > I am think I can add something to this: there is quite the > thread<http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2173772>on the > forum.
