I can verifiy what the servant is saying. I have a steam client installed on my 2008r2 box and even it its not running the steam client needs to be started and updated before the servers works or in my case is visible on the steam browser. Its happened twice to me, this last update and the quick play update. -----Original message----- From: Fletcher Dunn [email protected] Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 13:41:05 -0400 To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Unable to load steam support library..
