As far as I know, it has nothing to do with your game install. There is no way you can fix it apart from choosing another server to play on until the one you want has updated. If this error has appeared on 5+ consecutive servers for you, verify game cache and if it still persists, report back and I'll do my best to help. Just posting this here so the misguided people see it, I would appreiciate if this and the rest of the CS:S threads on this board were moved to the CS:S forum in one batch, cheers. EDIT: This'll do too, thanks. Sorry I'm not very helpful with the server stuff, there's a dedicated server forum though, you might have better luck asking there.

Is there any Offical information on server changes because this update is pretty unprofessional to be honest. 06-23-2010, 02:34 PM #3 Jamese1991 Guest Posts: n/a CS:S Server Owners I have 7 servers. I see this updated added a orange box folder with basically the same things the c-strike folder has. What are we to do here. I have updated one of my servers and started it and still can not get into that server. Are we supposed to move everything over to the orange box folder or what? I haven't seen any thread here with guidance for server owners at all to what to do. Does anyone know what we are supposed to do here? 06-23-2010, 02:37 PM #4 Rossco Join Date: Nov 2009 Reputation: 123 Posts: 1,054 The update procedure should be the same as the old one. CS:S is now an "orangebox" game according to srcds, so you'll need to download all the game content using the new file/directory structure. I don't own any servers, but I've used srcds in the past, the command should be something like: #srcds -update -game "Counter-Strike: Source" Apologies if that's not right, you full time admins will know this better than I do .

For everyone that gets the invalid steam key size error Something went wrong with the update here is a fix that worked for me: 1) Exit steam 2) Delete both AppUpdateStats.blob and ClientRegistry.blob out of your steam map 3) start up steam ( first two times gave me an error but that is normal by my computer xD) 4) watch steam updating slowly but surely http://www.steamgamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36227 5) start css 6) watch css updating which is even slower then the steam platform 7) click any server and Voila, you can play Quote 24 Jun 2010,04:18am #2 Jewpiter View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Visit Homepage View Articles Drillin' down the line Join Date: 10 Feb 2008 Location: Rochester, New York Posts: 2,249 Thanked: 1,317 in 475 Posts Tried it, not only does it work for steam it also increased the length of my penis from 2.4 inches to a rock hard 3.1 inches.
