Doing the reg delete command below is the current workaround, and we are working on a steamcmd update that won't cause this problem.

Normally I am pretty good at figuring issues out and this one has been a thorn in my side for a month now. I 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): L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:09: Initializing Steam libraries for secure Internet server L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:10: ********************************************************* L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:10: * Unable to load Steam support library.* L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:10: * This server will operate in LAN mode only.* L 08/15/2012 - 08:30:11: ********************************************************* 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.
