"X is now playing Source SDK Base. Click here to join."

Responding to a discussion from this list (titled Mod name in Chat window, 
dated december 2007).
Back then, Janek's problem was that mounting HL2DM content made the "X is 
now playing" message shown in a friends chat window change from showing his 
mod name to showing Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. I also experience this, however 
when I mount no game content at all (and no search paths), it still does not 
show my mod name, instead showing Source SDK Base.

The fault is not the name in my gameinfo.txt, and nor is it 
GetGameDescription, either in the gamerules or in the client file, as each 
of these has been changed. I have tried removing all search paths from the 
gameinfo except for |gameinfo_path|. & hl2, but still this error occurs. The 
mod name is shown correctly in the Steam game browser, and also in friends, 
as long as you don't enter a game. When you do, the name changes.

Anyone managed to get around this, or can think of something I'm missing? 
Thanks
