That's probably because you have steam.dll and steamapp.cfg in there .. which shouldn't be needed now. On Tue, 21 Dec 2004 09:09:25 -0800, Roy Laurie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Steam puts it there durring a non-attached debug. Not sure about attached. > > On 21 Dec 2004 at 12:25, Maarten van d

True, but I figured re-downloading it would be the best way to get a clean sweep of the whole installation. And I actually have a lot of work I should be doing instead of playing with Steam, so it's all for the better :P Why must Valve release such a distracting toy right around the time most Amer

you could have tried to "validate" the cache before redownloading :/ On Mon, 20 Dec 2004 22:14:29 -0500, Skyler York <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I didn't check because I've never touched a Steam.dll in my life, but it > appears one managed to sneak it's way into half-life 2/bin :) Sneaky > basta

I didn't check because I've never touched a Steam.dll in my life, but it appears one managed to sneak it's way into half-life 2/bin :) Sneaky bastard child of a file. But I'm an idiot and already started re-downloading HL2, so I won't be able to let you know if things work for another two hours or

Delete any SteamApp.cfg files you have on disk (this update removes the need for them) and also delete any Steam.dll files you may have copied around (except for, of course, the one in the base steam install directory). - Alfred Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROT

I had a similar problem with a previous update. To fix it, go to your half-life 2 directory where hl2.exe resides \half-life 2\ and delete all the exe and dll files in that directory and in all subdirectories. run half-life 2 (from steam menu) and it should recreate those files. If it still doesn'

There's a Steam.dll in your game directory. Delete it. :) If it's not there, then find any that aren't in the main Steam directory and delete them. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Skyler York Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 6:56 PM To: [EM
