Hi,
I am think I can add something to this: there is quite the
threadhttp://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2173772on
the forum. Evidently source dedicated server (steam-delivered version
--
hldsupdatetool / orange-box is still fine) stopped working for multiple
people with the, Manniversary update on 10/13. The comments are all the
same, working just fine before, can't connect to own server after. One
poster claims he got Tony Paloma interested and he said he'd look into it,
but Steam Support won't even acknowledge the problem. After two different
tickets beset by slow response and inapplicable FAQ references in what
responses did return, I finally got a, we don't support servers. My
experience is not unique.
The only silver lining to the cloud is that the orangebox server works just
fine -- this problem only affects the Steam server. Symptom is, Steam
validation rejected on the client side and, S3: Client connected with
ticket for the wrong game: UserID: 2 on the server console. I even went to
the trouble of copying steam_appid.txt everywhere I could think of, to no
avail.
Bottom line -- it's a real bug in the Steam-delivered version of srcds that
came down with the 10/13 update, is not being acknowledged by official
channels and is causing much frustration.
If anyone on this list has any insight or further information on this
problem, I think quite a few people would be interested.
Thanks,
Chris.

Yes, I made sure of that.

Don't worry about not being a professional server host when you make your
inquiry -- a lot of folks on the list aren't.
As for your question, before I do any serious digging can you confirm (I
know this sounds silly but..) that you created steam_appid as a txt file,
and not steam_appid.txt.txt? Make sure you have 'hide extensions for known
file types' disabled so that you can verify there is no extension
duplication.

I know this is a list mostly for professional server hosters, but I hope
you guys can help an amateur who hosts only occasionally as well.
The problem is in the topic, except the traditional solution (adding
steam_appid.txt with TF2's appid in the tool's folder) doesn't work, and I
can't seem to find any other.
Thanks in advance.
