Thanks, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. This is just plain crazy. I rebooted the box (to make sure there are no weird ghost processes running, although there did not seem to be before). Then I created a whole new directory and did a full, clean install of CS:S into the new directory from Steam. Now, the CS:S server appears to start up just fine, but it crashes if someone connects to it. If I start up the server and then change the map using "map de_dust2" (or any other map name) in the console, the new map loads, but then the server hangs for about 5 minutes after this message is printed:
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to update local steamclient.dll. Continuing with current version anyway. During this time, I cannot type anything on the console, and the server stops responding to A2S_INFO and other queries. After about five minutes, it spits this message out to the console and then seems to be fine, except that no one can join it: ********************************************************* * Unable to load Steam support library.* * This server will operate in LAN mode only.* ********************************************************* Again, this is a clean CS:S install, but this is the third install of CS:S on this box which has had this problem. I never had any problems with CS:S on this box up until the last update. The box is also running servers for TF2, CS 1.6, and CS:CZ and those seem to be running just fine. The OS is Debian Lenny 64-bit, up-to-date. I'm at a total loss. - Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: tom nikitopoulos <screwtop...@gmail.com> Date: Friday, June 25, 2010 8:51 pm Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Steam support library problem To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list <hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com> > thats a "error" given when server is quit isn't it? > maybe a server running in background? > > > On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 2:56 PM, David A.
