⌐■_■ Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi, I just reinstalled steam and everything with it, because steam gave me alot of errors lately (wich is no news for me, reallly). When I wanted to run my new map, I got the following error: 'STEAM VALIDATION REJECTED'. OMGWTF!? Right, so I looked up what it meant and this was steam's answer: ya, we're familliar whit the bug, but we don't want to spent the 3 minutes to fix it so gtfo k thx bye... Ok, so after just restarting steam a few times I got this error: One of the reasons I reinstalled steam was because of this ^ error... Does anyone have an answer to this? Help will be rewarded with appreciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skdr Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 That's a memory error. Try running memtest. Also, delete your configs for all Source based games and try again. They're located in /cfg/ folder. For the map problem, dont run the map from console, make a server from the menu instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
⌐■_■ Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Aah thx, skdr! I did the following things: - allowed combined writing - changed resolution in winxp, plus refreshrates (I was running the monitor on a custom resolution) - restarted my pc After this, I had no errors at all. I think I may have cleaned out my memorycache or something (I'm no expert on this subject )? Thanks skdr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furyo Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 In case it comes back again, check this stuck thread in the support section of steampowered: http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-bin ... _topview=1 This kinda error is known to happen for multiple and very different reasons, so it's very possible to see it pop up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
