Garry´s Mod issue

[Gabbelago]

Hello there!

I recently decided to start up an srcds garrys mod server and ofc I ran into some problems.

First off, I have run a srcds server for css before without any problems, im turning to you guys because I have no idea what the problem is.

I have searched my problem and found many with the same but nothing have fixed it so far.

My problem is:
When I launch my server I get an error saying "unable to load steam support library, this server will operate in lan mode only"

So what have I done? well I have checked my server.cfg for issues and found none.
I have opened every port inmy router to see if it was blocking it, it was not.
I have disabled by windows firewall with no sucess.
I have no antivirus program installed that would act as a firewall.
I have ran the update several times with no change.
I have had "verify_all" command without sucess
I have reinstalled the whole srcds complete with download, no change.

I can connect to the server via my network so the server is functional, it just wont go online

Any ideas?

Launch batch

Code:

@echo off
cd c:\srcds/orangebox
echo Starting game server.
echo Beginning "Garry's Mod"
srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct +maxplayers 4
echo "Garry's Mod" has now started.
echo It is recommended that you start Server Crash Recovery aswell.

You got any addons? If so try and remove them.

No nothing Its a clean install done by following this guide:
http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexb076.html?title=Windows_Dedicated_Server_Setup

When I run the server it does however say "not downloaded fully? try polaing it first" on a few items on startup.
It says it about ep2, TF, lostcoast, hl1, hl1mp, pvkII.
But none of those are relevent?

further more those messages stay even when I run the server update allover again..

I dont really know what I did, I started steam once and now it seems to be working. Who knew
