When trying to update my CS:S server this morning, it seemed to be working just fine until it gets to downloading cs_office.bsp... then it chugs for a few seconds and gives the message:

"Downloading: .\cstrike\maps\cs_office.bsp
Compression Failure"

Any ideas? I've tried deleting cs_office.bsp, but that didnt help. Every other update has gone through fine.

Remove InstallRecord.blob from your srcds directory and try again. It help in my case.

I actually tried that as well and it didnt work. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Maybe add option "-retry" to "./steam ..." command. Steam network seems to be very heavily loaded today, so it can causes the problem.

I deleted file InstallRecord.blob and 3rd run of update get through...

delete the InstallRecord.blob, and try adding -verify

I'm having the same issue. Tried deleting the InstallRecord.blob file too.
Tried adding -verify, but that came up as command unknown. Maybe I'm updating wrong to use that.
Any other ideas? I've tried now like over a dozen times. Same file it stops at every time.
btw, this is on Debian linux in case that makes a diff.

I've tried everything above and yep -verify comes up invalid. Its still stopping on cs_office.bsp

Hmm, try this:

1. rm -rf ~/.steam
2. remove InstallRecord.blob
3. create new steam account
4. update with this new account


I've got Debian too (ver. 3.1) and get it through.

This is what I did, and it finally worked for me.

cd ~/.steam
rm ClientRegistry.blob
cd ~/srcds_l
rm InstallRecord.blob

Then ran the update again. It had me re-download the steam file. Once that was done it said to run the Update command again. I did this and it worked fine.

This is a downloading error, not an account error. Should be no reason to create a new account.

Thanks for all your help.

this worked for me:
mv /usr/bin/uncompress /usr/bin/uncompress_
ln -s /usr/bin/gzip /usr/bin/uncompress

the first line backs up your uncompress file (which is a link to compress)
the second line links uncompress to gzip


good luck =]

Well. Got same problem with cs_office.bsp

What I did was that I've extracted my cs_office.bsp out of the game cache files (*.gcf) and SSH'ed to my server where I did copy/paste with su

That worked for me but now after 100eds of other files got same error for: steam_logo1.wav

..and I cant find it in my gcf files.

Now I try what you did ... *hope

There we go. Good to go.
Thanks!

That option worked for me too!!!

good stuff, was getting crazy

THnx

-verify_all

I get error here

Verifying: .\hl2\models\props_combine\combinetower001.vvd
Downloading: .\hl2\models\props_combine\combinetower001.vvd
Compression Failure


Tried:
cd ~/.steam
rm ClientRegistry.blob
cd ~/srcds_l
rm InstallRecord.blob

and:
mv /usr/bin/uncompress /usr/bin/uncompress_
ln -s /usr/bin/gzip /usr/bin/uncompress


both do not work
