Cant open game while SRCDS is running.

Hello!

I got a problem, when im runing my server, i cant open the game, i cant close my steam, and the friends stats stuck in "Playing Left 4 Dead 2"
Looks like the steam thinks the srcds is the game client.

Is there a way to "unlink" both?
Tired to killing Steam process just to play, or even open the game.

Note: Steam and the server runs in different folder, in fact the server runs from another drive.
Thanks!

I suggest using something like Sandboxie to launch your game server OR your actual game you plan on playing. It's the only solution i can think of. Yes, Sandboxie is free if you want to use 1 instance of a box "sort of like a virtual machine but only for launching things". Google it

Already downloaded, im testing it, at least i opened the server with no change in my status.
i give a feed back after some more testing.

Edit: Worked fine.. thanks man!

The problem is that the SRCDS service is not running properly. After a reboot, the game can be closed but will not reopen. When I open SRCDS, the game opens and closes ever so often, but I can't close it.You can check t20 worldcup 2021 live to deal with this problem.
