Hey, Do you have any version of steam client installed? If you do, make sure to update it. - Bubka3 On Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 1:34 PM, Jonathan Zakay wrote: > Thanks for the reply and advise Mike, I have tried the suggestions you > posted bellow but the server is still having the issue. > I double checked and -verify_all did have the correct syntax in the batch > file we use to update. > I did remove the InstallRecord.blob, as far as I am aware it had no affect. > I did double look into the bin folder and I did as you said and > re-named/re-downloaded the contents of the folder but I am still having the > same issue. > The box that runs the servers is not really used for much else, no steam > client was running and the only (significant) other things It has running is > Filezilla (Server/Client), ServerDoc, multiple Garry's Mod servers and also > a Terraria server.

Re: [hlds] Unable to load steam support library..
I can verifiy what the servant is saying. I have a steam client installed on my 2008r2 box and even it its not running the steam client needs to be started and updated before the servers works or in my case is visible on the steam browser. Its happened twice to me, this last update and the quick play update. -Original message- From: Fletcher Dunn fletch...@valvesoftware.com Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 13:41:05 -0400 To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Unable to load steam support library.. > To clarify, if you have an old steam client installed, you can have problems. > It does not need to be running to interfere. > > From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com > [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Zakay > Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 10:34 AM > To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list > Subject: Re: [hlds] Unable to load steam support library.. > > Thanks for the reply and advise Mike, I have tried the suggestions you posted > bellow but the server is still having the issue. > > I double checked and -verify_all did have the correct syntax in the batch > file we use to update. > > I did remove the InstallRecord.blob, as far as I am aware it had no affect. > > I did double look into the bin folder and I did as you said and > re-named/re-downloaded the contents of the folder but I am still having the > same issue > The box that runs the servers is not really used for much else, no steam > client was running and the only (significant) other things It has running is > Filezilla (Server/Client), ServerDoc, multiple Garry's Mod servers and also a > Terraria server.

Re: [hlds] Unable to load steam support library..
Thanks for the reply, this has solved the issue. I went and updated the steam client (Which must have been very very old) and its booting up fine now.

Dear Jon, I just wanted to confirm you're using the correct syntax for the verify option in the command line, which should be "-verify_all" If that is correct and the files are still out of wack, perhaps you should try the following: 1.

[hlds] Unable to load Steam support library
Hello, has any of you set up a Garry's Mod server and recieved this message in the console? * * Unable to load Steam support library.* * This server will operate in LAN mode only.* * It's very strange as all three Gmod servers (on one Win2k3 box) began showing the same error at the same time. I discovered the issue while I was updating the servers just days ago, they worked fine before the update but I can't pinpoint what version they had then. It's just Garry's Mod that has the problem, any Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, Half-Life Deathmatch servers start without problems. If I download a new server installation in a clean directory, the message still shows up and I can't seem to figure out what file the Steam support library is? It definitively has something to do with my server box as other machines outside the network can install and start the GMod server without issues at all. I'm lost, any help and tips are highly appreciated.
