Counter-strike server update problem

[djhz]

hello ppl.
i have a problem with a counter-strike server steam update.
it gives me a "compression failure" error.
i don't want to make this long here, so here is the link to the counter server forums with my thread on "compression failure"
http://server.counter-strike.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=30954
BTW: they couldn't solve this problem, and one admin told me to ask questions here. thank you for your time

Do the Counter-Strike or Steam developers read the Counter-Server forums? They are about the only people that know what causes a "compression failure" message -- I don't have a clue, at least, and I'd guess most everybody else is the same unless they've run into it themselves.

It is not Linux specific, though; that error is from the Steam updater thingy, and it's not a standard Linux error message (from errno.h). It therefore must be getting printed by the Steam updater executable itself as a result of some internal condition -- and without the source for that (or any other information about it), your guess is as good as mine as far as what causes the problem.

Sorry...

Do post back if you can figure it out. I'm sure it'll help others that run into something similar in the future... :)
