I was having this problem until tonight when I was given the last piece of the puzzle. My solution is as follows:
Use hlds_updatetool.exe (google it) to get a dedicated server outside the steam client and run that for the server as you would any normal server. In the steam client, right click on the game name and in the launch options set a different port for the game. Then start the game from the steam client press the toggle console key and use the connect command from the console to connect to your server by its real IP (not localhost or 127.0.0.1) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rockefeller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 10:37 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Problem with dedicated server > hi, > > I used to test my mod by starting a dedicated LAN server and then > joining it, because some issues (especially related to weapon coding) > are not observable on a listen server. > But since Steam arrived, this seems to be no longer possible. > > I can start a dedicated server in LAN or Internet mode with my mod, but > if i join the server, it sais "Invalid STEAM UserID Ticket".
