Make sure you don?t have mulit-case in your path ? there seem to be issues around having anything but all lower case path names.

Failed to request AppInfo update, not online or not logged in to Steam -> after successfully logging in I have this issue even with Steam Guard disabled. Furthermore it seems that despite having read/write access it fails to make the /Steam folder and the files that go in it. [----] !!! Fatal Error: Steam failed to load: *SteamStartEngine(0xffe69af0) failed with error 1: Unable to write to the current Steam application folder. Please move Steam to a folder where you have write privileges. Then I ran the old hldsupdatetool from the very same folder with the same permission set and it created the /Steam folder just fine. I'm thinking perhaps the Appinfo update error is related to it's inability to create/access files in certain cases?

I think someone else mentioned something about Steam Guard causing the tool to lose connection, which made me try without. I don't remember if it was someone from Valve or not with the huge mass of emails that have come across this list over the past day.

Failed to request AppInfo update, not online or not logged in to Steam -> after successfully logging in I had the same issue and had to disable Steam Guard temporarily to get around it.

What?s more, telling it to log in a second time then hangs. Alternatively, logging in from my PC causes the steam tool to fail to log in and then logging out locally and in yet again: Steam> app_update 740 validate ERROR!

This may be a Centos 5.8 final specific issue :/ Ultrix _______________________________________________Csgo_servers mailing listCsgo_servers at list.valvesoftware.comhttps://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/csgo_servers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Csgo_servers mailing list Csgo_servers at list.valvesoftware.com https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/csgo_servers _______________________________________________Csgo_servers mailing listCsgo_servers at list.valvesoftware.comhttps://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/csgo_servers _______________________________________________ Csgo_servers mailing list Csgo_servers at list.valvesoftware.com https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/csgo_servers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Csgo_servers mailing list Csgo_servers at list.valvesoftware.com https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/csgo_servers -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
