Right on guys, great info for all and I'm glad you resolved it. Another one to stuff away in the memory banks. Thanks to Fletcher for his helpful response.

Thanks for the reply and advise Mike, I have tried the suggestions you posted bellow but the server is still having the issue. I double checked and -verify_all did have the correct syntax in the batch file we use to update. I did remove the InstallRecord.blob, as far as I am aware it had no affect. I did double look into the bin folder and I did as you said and re-named/re-downloaded the contents of the folder but I am still having the same issue. The box that runs the servers is not really used for much else, no steam client was running and the only (significant) other things It has running is Filezilla (Server/Client), ServerDoc, multiple Garry's Mod servers and also a Terraria server. Also, to be more precise - The server is running Window's Server 2008 R2 Datacenter-Edition, though I doubt this is the problem. I have just now installed a completely fresh install of TF2, its completely vanilla and is being launched through a basic batch file. The vanilla-fresh installed server is still having the same issue where it is Unble to load steam support libraries.

Force an version check on the server by deleting the " InstallRecord.blob" file found in the game server's root folder might get things moving? 2. If the above doesn't fix any mismatched files, then I would shutdown the game server, rename the /orangebox/bin folder to bin.old, then run the update again so it loads a fresh copy of the bin folder. I believe the files you are having trouble with are all in that folder. You might also wish to be sure Steam is not running on the box during the update process. There have been mixed reports that having a Steam client running on the same box as the game servers has been causing some problems with updates when valve makes changes to the Steam binaries within the SRCDS software. Please keep us posted so other may benefit if you fix it. Good luck bud, you'll get it! Mike
