HL2DM Error Created 17 years ago2007-01-13 08:00:37 UTC by Taylor

I have this problem for a few days now:

I start hl2dm, try to start a map (any map), the game loads utill "loading resources" - and then HL2 exits, and I become an engine error message:

"Unable to load authentication library, Exiting..."

I tried to reinstall HL2DM, also tried with updating, but nothing works. How can I fix this? thnx

I've had this problem a few times before, and found a fix for it on the steampowered.com forums.

Download the Source Dedicated Server (it's a small download luckily) and run it once. Then, go into the 'source dedicated serverbin' folder and copy the steamclient.dll file in it to your 'half-life 2 deathmatchbin' folder. Now, the game can find it's authentication library and you can play without being interrupted.

I tried it...didn't work...I've copied it into the "bin" folder, and also to the "hl2mp/bin" folder, but I still have this message

But anyway, thanks for the help

Oh, fuck steam!
