In my library of games Team Fortress 2 Beta shows: Download starting...
Note: I've had the Beta loaded for awhile now though it seems recent updates
broke something?
If I try to launch the game I get "No Steam content servers are currently
configured to deliver content for this game. This will be corrected soon.
Please try again in a few minutes."
Note: I've been seeing this for a few days.

The first thing to do is identify as many bugs as possible using the TF beta.
sv_pure needs to be fixed.
Then we will probably roll out Day of Defeat or HL2:MP and confirm the auto
conversion works as well as we expect, so we don't have a huge number of people
all downloading a full 10GB at the same time.
We're planning on releasing TF last.
I suppose the timeline is around 2-4 weeks before TF is released? (Please
don't hold me on that --- it depends on what bugs we find in the TF beta!)
We'll keep the users of each game well informed. We also now have the ability
to release the server before the client, and we will definitely take advantage
of that, probably releasing the server 1-2 days in advance of the switchover,
so server operators have plenty of time to get setup. (Especially since they
will have a full download, whereas clients should be able to take advantage of
existing assets on disk.)

Fletcher is there a set date for this conversion? Is there going to be any
overlap period? I didn't see those answers in the FAQ.

Subject: [hlds] SteamPipe is coming. Download the TF beta
The orangebox engine games (Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike:Source, Day of
Defeat:Source, HL2:Deathmatch) are being upgraded to SteamPipe. Steam’s
new-and-improved content delivery system. SteamPipe is currently used by most
games on Steam.
This change will impact server operators in at least two significant ways:
· You will use steamcmd instead of the HLDSUpdateTool to install/update the
server.
· The conversion will entail significant changes to the way the files appear in
the local filesystem on the server and client. The client no longer uses GCF
files. Instead, most assets are packed up into VPK, and those VPKs are the same
on the server and the client. The server no longer uses 1000’s of loose files.
We’re using the TF beta to test these changes and identify the bugs, and give
everybody a chance to make sure their favorite mod or plugin will work in the
new system.
Everybody is encouraged to download the TF beta!
We’ve prepared an FAQ that discusses the details of the change and answers the
questions we anticipate:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7388-QPFN-2491
Please report gameserver related bugs in this mailing list.
Client bugs can be reported through this mailing list, or in the TF beta forum.

Thanks for your help, and happy testing!
(And remember, playtime in the beta counts towards item drops in the release
game.)
