Hi
As the post says I'm not able to run HLDS on Win 10. Actually this happened a few months ago when I used to make a server on LAN to test plugins and then the server didn't start, if it did start I wasn't able to connect to it even if it's started either LAN or Internet with port open ( 27015 ). I've checked Windows Firewall and My Antivirus firewall and there doesn't seem to be any problem.
I've tried with 3 different versions of HLDS:
1) The one I was using before for testing (6153)
2) A backup one which I had before (6153)
3) Clean download from steamcmd by adding manifest files in the steamapps folder ( download was about 740 MB) by spamming app_update 90 validate command about 20 times.
I thought to get to know about the error and used -console in parameter with some basic ones and got this:
PHP Code:
FATAL ERROR (shutting down): Unable to Initialize steam.
