Server has been down for over a week...

[Rasputen]

After the latest and (?) greatest update, I can not load up the dedicated server. I am running it under windows XP. I keep getting a PreCondition Assertion failed on SRCDS.EXE in file Src\PipeComm.cpp...

I tried asking Steam for help and of course it took 2 days for them to tell me to go look elsewhere...

Any Ideas?????

how are you trying to start the server, are you running in gui or console mode, if console whats the start line? is it stand alone or through steam. and make sure you got the whole update, re-run the update tool with the flag -verify_all and what game is the server for?
