There's a single, physical server that I have an issue on where the game
uses the Steam binaries from steamcmd, which are older than those
bundled with the game (similar effect to having an outdated Steam client
installed).
To fix, after every update, I have to copy the game's Steam bins
(steamclient, tier0_s, etc.) into steamcmd's dir after each time
steamcmd redownloads the files, else the same issue occurs. Perhaps
that's the same thing that you're running into.

Ok this is getting annoying. Normally I am pretty good at figuring

had to break apart a RAID so as to swap out a drive going bad. Ever
since then, I encounter the following (not always, but often enough to
suck):

Aside from installing the steam client on the server, which it had
never been or had to be installed on prior to run the servers
publicly. For some reason installing the client remedies the issue.
But I notice sometimes it still fails occasionally. Un-installing and
reinstalling and/or leaving installed the client seems to fix. ONLY
that seems to fix it so far. My suspicion is somewhere there is a
registry link bad in the OS (Windows server 08, R2) pertaining to hlds
or such.
- verify_all does nothing to help the situation, my cl startup is fine
and it annoys me to have the steam client on the server to begin with.
Again, from the initial setup I did not have to have it installed and
it ran for years just fine without ever installing the client on the
machine. Does anyone know a perm fix for this? Even deleting all steam
references in registry has been to no avail, unless I missed some
(searched Steam). Reinstalling hlds did not help to fix any possible
broken registry links or such. I am tired of having to fire up and
watch for this message I never had issue with before, only to see it
on occasion and have to un-install and reinstall steam client... On a
server... That should not have to have the client installed...
Searching mailing list archives, the only remedy I have found is the
installing of the client. This is not a fix, rather something that is
circumventing a broken link somewhere in my opinion.
It is not a firewall issue since that has not changed in years.
it is not a command line issue, they have not changed in years.
It is not a convar issue in any config, has not changed in years.
is not a SM, MM issue, updated and runs fine.
Reinstalling hlds did not help.
Virgin instances of the servers does not help.
Sometimes it happen after game server updates, sometimes after a
machine reboot.
Thanks,
Hutch
