"Steam Error: 'Account Used Elsewhere'

<< < (2/3) > >>

soupcan:
This is a known issue affecting all Source 2007 mods since the Dec 19 Steam update.

The only current known fix is to roll back the Steam client, but we're not releasing those instructions publicly as we don't want to encourage people to run outdated clients.

Edit: Note, however, you can still play with bots by creating a new server and ticking the "Run on LAN" checkbox. This also works for LAN parties, you can set `sv_lan 1` on your server and local clients should be able to connect.

Thanks for looking into this, I had suspected it was steam breaking things. Do you know if steam are looking at it (I know the sdk is old) or if you anticipate a usable workaround for it?

Our Sundays won't be the same without shooting Bond in the back of the head as a group!

The work put into building this has been greatly enjoyed weekly since we couldn't meet in person due to COVID!

There is now a workaround courtesy of eepycats on GitHub

https://github.com/eepycats/sdk2007-auth/releases

Download the latest release.zip and extract it to gesource.

You should have an addons folder with steamhook.vdf and steamhook.dll in it

After that, restart GE:S and you should be able to join servers


Edit: This has been fixed in the latest Steam client beta.

Morphius143:
That is amazing news..... Thanks for looking into it. I am guessing the beta client is on their site somewhere

soupcan:
The beta can be enabled within the client, instructions here: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/276C-85A0-C531-AFA3
