We shipped a new steamclient.dll, but there were some other binaries that 
needed to be updated but weren't.  This caused steamclient.dll wouldn't load.

On Windows, Steam might use the binaries from the installed Steam client, if 
one is on that computer.  So that's why some people might have worked fine and 
others not worked.

Hi Fletcher,

Can you share any details on what is broken?  Even the update earlier in the 
week didn't break anything for me on Windows like it did with Robert and John.  
I'm just curious why I seem to be the lucky one here.

We expect to release an update on Monday that fixes the Windows servers.

I apologize for not responding to this more quickly.

That's because you are using the OB one :).

My steamclient.dll matches the size and date on Richard's, and doesn't seem to 
work, so I must be missing something else -- or need to delete something. I'll 
try a completely fresh install later tonight.

My Windows server is fine using the steamclient.dll provided with the Left 4

ALL Windows servers are broken.

That's certainly odd, as all of ours were. I'll poke around further and see if 
a -verify_all after today's update would help (it didn't help previously).

What's the file size on your steamclient.dll? Can you confirm that it says 
"secure" in the "status" output?
