A restart worked for me.

[lodle]

next time why dont you just put that into a txt file and host it some where. That is alot of spam and most people will stop reading after the 2nd page or so.

Next time use www.pastebin.ca

[Geowil]

well, seems to have disappeared now O.o (im sure its just on vacation >.<)

i waited 3 hours and tried again and it worked...... but wtf caused it in the first place xD.

[lodle]

Well do you mind removing the first 5 posts of spam then?

[Geowil]

well i was right, its back xD.

this time though, restarting the sdk fixes BUT i get it anytime i get a leak while the bsp is being written too.....

is there anyway to completely fix this pos bug? or do we just have to wait for Valve to fix steam?

[vecima]

it's hard to tell what the problem is without seeing your compile log and/or the exact text of the error. also, i wouldn't wait for valve to fix it unless you've at least opened a support ticket. my steam/sdk work fine, and for all we know, they probably don't know you have a problem.

and im sure valve is aware of it since there are many threads about the registry entries being accessed multiple times at the same time, thus causing this error.

and its mentioned on the dev sites workarounds list.
