Subject: [hlds] Swap Beta doesn't work. Can I get a non-canned answer?
This is like the 8th email I've made regarding this steam validation
error issue that is plaguing every one of the servers I administrate.
I appreciate the quick fix solution for the problem, Alfred, but it
simply didn't work for my server. I know others say it did, and that's
super.
My last email I wrote concerning the issue including my command line
so you could correct it and make me feel incredibly stupid. Like if I
typo'd somewhere and missed it.
But instead you didn't even read my email. It looked something like
this:
My email:
">> I guess I'm doing something wrong and overlooking it.
My command line looks like: hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game
dods -dir "C:\xx\xx" -username xxx -password xxx -beta swapbeta
What am I doing wrong? My users are still getting the error."
To which you replied,
"You should include "-beta swapbeta" on the command line if you see
"Steam Validation Rejected" errors. When you do that you will get v59
of the Source Engine cache.
- Alfred"
Well that's nice. Except I did that. I even mentioned that I put the
-beta swapbeta in the srcds.exe parameters just incase I misunderstood
you.
So my community members took the liberty to write some letters to you
folks about the issue. We got a response.
""To correct this issue, please exit from Steam and delete a file in
your Steam directory named:
ClientRegistry.blob
This file would be in the location:
c:\Valve\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob or c:\program
files\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob (or wherever you installed Steam to).
The next time you start Steam it will re-create this file, do a brief
update and then you should be able to connect and play." "
Well, that didn't work either. Today marks... well almost a week of
all my servers, personal and rented, sitting empty due to some
validation
error the suddenly cropped up with no explanation.
I added -verify_all to the parameters. Still erroring.
I've done all I can think of to fix the issue. I get phone calls and
emails day and night about the servers locking everyone out. I shell
out a decent ammount of cash to run this gaming community. I can't
help but feel it wasted because no one can play anymore unless I
reboot the
server.
So where do we go from here?
