Steam Error when I "Run Map"

[MasterD]

Is anyone else having any problems? With the new update, I can't "Run Map" anymore without having HL2 crashing and giving me errors. It worked just fine and now with this update everything has gone to hell, what do I do??? I can still run the map, by going all the way into deathmatch, but there's no way I have to do that for everytime I want to run my map, what is up with this now?!??! ;(

The error reads:

Engine Error
steamclient.dll not found, server communication disabled

followed by:

Half-Life 2 DM: hl2.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x2406ffe9" reference memory at "0x00c011cc". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate program

At least one person has been able to start his game by first deleting the file game\bin\vidcfg.bin.

if i deleted vidcfg my game wont have an error saying "The instruction at "0x2406ffe9" reference memory at "0x00c011cc". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate program!"

yep, same thing happens to me. I try and run any map and it crashes. It's something to do with that last steam update.

i still can't figure it out, it's very annoying

At least one other person has been able to "fix" the problem by taking all references to sv_lan out of his config files, and starting the game with sv_lan set to 1.
