The steamclient.dll was just updated again tonight (1/13) which had the same
effect as the 1/10 steamclient.dll.... forcing the server to LAN mode. I'm
wondering if a new topic other then steam groups borked might get
better attention, lol?

My Windows server is fine using the steamclient.dll provided with the Left 4
Dead 2 depot. Not saying you guys aren't having any problems, just that not
ALL Windows servers are broken.

Yes, this is not good. Fletcher, can you tell us if someone working on this
