steamclient.dll not found

I compiled my map just fine, no errors or anything. It put me into the
console and right before the map was supposed to start, it kicked me
out of the game and said this :



Please help! Thanks in advance!

I have a CT spawn and a T spawn, each of which are not touching any brushwork.

And then and I went and Validated my CS:S. I guess it was valid because
it didn't do anything. But I thought I already validated that when I
installed it from the HL2 DVD I have. O well hope this helps in solving
the problem.

By the way, this just started to happen today. Thanks for your help!

Does it do this with other maps? What if you start up CS yourself and run your map through starting a new LAN game (or via the console)? The only thing I see wrong in the above is that your last line is wrong and should read something like "c:\program files\steam\steam.exe -applaunch 240 -console -dev +map EK_Deviant" and that you make sure you have the right player starts in your map.

I'll check that when I get home. Thanks for your help! Hope it works!

Okay well it fixed itself. Interesting. The only thing I did was add
what you said Lep. But when I compiled for the first time with your new
parameters, it still did the same thing. So I don't know what happened.
O well. I'll mark you correct.
