When I try to load my map in game...

[D€vIL²]

I get this error 'STEAM Validation Rejected" I have to "Create a game" and once i'm in it, then I can load my map... why? do I have to validate my files?

i dont know... I ahve the same problem. As for now im just using the Create a game button. Anyone else have a solution?

Try using sv_lan 1 in the custom command line in Hammer or start the game before loading the map and typing it in console.

I have never understood the purpose or advantage of that kind of validation. Steam games are supposed to be validated when they're run to ensure that they aren't corrupt.

Look for bootleg copies?

it might be after all the updates some old files are messing up the game if run with teh new ones... mayeb they just need to go back and make sure you have all recent stuff... but then again thats what steam does each login, hence the automatic updates.... i dunno
