A few quick questions, if I may.
1) Will it be possible to force a server to run in only MvM mode, like how
Arena mode currently works? If so, how is this done?
2) If a server has the capability, will spectators be able to join and
watch MvM matches without SourceTV? If so, will they be able to cycle in
and out after each match, like Arena mode?
I apologize if these have already been answered.

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

I have also suffered from this error, is there any official word on
a fix when running older servers with the newer steamcmd on the same box?

If you're running this on windows, this will fix it without copying

forces a SteamDLL value of:
C:\games\killingfloor\bin\steamclient.dll
If you remove this value, all games will carry on working as normal
(eg Killing Floor will still load etc)

Subject: Re: [hlds] Steam support library
Ok this is getting annoying. 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.
Thanks,
Hutch
