One of the error message can occur if you need to run the game through Steam, whether you're debugging it or compiling maps. The error here always appears when trying to run a Source game through a debugger. Can you actually debug (e.g. in Visual Studio) your game now?

I fixed it by reinstalling steam (no need to delete anything, just run the installer, and install in the exact same place). Now it works normally again. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Thomson Sent: 10 August 2005 10:42 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Steam update has broken debugging Yes, we're experiencing the same problems here with a multiplayer mod. Attempting to run the mod through Visual Studio's debugger produces the errors below. - Deleting steamclient.dll, tier0_s.dll, vstdlib_s.dll from the Half-Life 2 Deathmatch/Bin directory gives the "steamclient.dll not found, server communication disabled" error. - Running Steam again then restores these 3 files back and gives the original "The procedure entry point ..." error. - Deleting steam.dll does force an update. Unfortunately it doesn't help with the debugging (even after running the game through Steam again). I'm guessing that there have been some changes to the DLLMain function within these DLLs which has caused them to stop running when running from a debugger. Is that any help? -----Original Message----- From: Alfred Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 August 2005 06:05 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Steam update has broken debugging Oh, make sure you have tried launch HL2 through Steam at least once since the update (just to make sure all the on disk binaries are up to date). - Alfred ----Original Message---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 9:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Steam update has broken debugging > You can copy the 3 files I mentioned to > \Steam\SteamApps\USERNAME\Half-Life 2\bin\, mark them as read only > and then you should be able to debug. > > ----Original Message---- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Teddy > Sent: > Tuesday, August 09, 2005 9:45 PM To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Steam update has broken debugging > > > I tried both of those, still no dice.
