Actually, upon further testing. When I login to the same Steam Client account on Windows as SteamCMD on the same Windows, the Steam Client automatically boots me offline. I get no errors in SteamCMD unless I log back into the Steam Client while SteamCMD is open, then I get the error the OP is talking about. Though I doubt that's the steps the OP is taking to get that error. :eek:

Lord no my network is horrible for hosting. I have a separate box in Washington.

Also its latest cmd. But those issues are in the past now. For me atleast.

Also just to let you know my home pc is windows my server is debian so yeah i had login issues with the same account.

Washington State or Washington D.C.? Seems kind of weird that you'd have a U.S. based dedicated server when you're from the UK. :confused:

DC its the closest I could get as for now. And its because I am not the only technician in my group. I have a close friend and coworker in DC who does most of the javascript and c++ work while I mostly set up servers and fix any simple issues.

I chose a better workplace for my coworkers than myself so yeah probably a good or bad move on my part. Don't really care I still seem stable on the servers anyway.

Anyway ops problem I don't want to derail a support thread. If you wan't to ask questions you can on steam.

Try skills solution. This error is new to me and I will need to look into it myself first.

Just as a note did you try doing the regular method on the tripwire wiki with this blank account?
