[halflifeguy]

does the new fix work for anybody?

 

[razorback]

bleh, I'm getting the error also, on my mods. And i guess the review won't make it in time for the the pre-release, oh well, I'm still very undecided on the game, it's pretty iffy.

The review is online now. We made it

 

[halflifeguy]

can anybody help me play my mods?

 

[niugiovanni]

Mine errors to. Why does every update have to break the mods?

this update was supposed to fix this problem, but it still persists. Here's the workaround dystopia players have been using:

Create a Desktop shortcut by right clicking on Dystopia in Steam. Then locate the new shortcut on your desktop, right-click and select "Properties". In the "Target" field, it should say something like:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 220 -game "C:\program files\steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\dystopia"

Just change the "220" to "240" (which is the code for CS:S). I have no idea why this works, but it does. Enjoy!!

And here's another one from valve:

We have found the problem. You get this error if your steam path has a space in it (i.e c:\program files\valve\steam ). We are working on a fix, in the meantime you can work around the problem by moving Steam to a path without a space (i.e c:\steam ) and then deleting your ClientRegistry.blob.

The update didn't fix my problem. The shortcut idea did, but I refuse to use it anymore because no one seems to know what it is doing and if it's doing any damage.

 

[Teddy]

I can gaurentee the shortcut won't do any damage, but if you don't like it here's a cleaner workaround:

Create a Desktop shortcut by right clicking on Dystopia in Steam. Then locate the new shortcut on your desktop, right-click and select "Properties". In the "Target" field, it should say something like:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 220 -game "C:\program files\steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\dystopia"

Change the "program files" in the -game path to "progra~1" and it should work. eg.
"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 220 -game "C:\progra~1\steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\dystopia"

 

[armanguy]

[Kyorisu]

Steam has been nice to me latley. Odd I had plenty of problems early on.

 

[halflifeguy]
