I have got things setup and I can map (in hammer) and do the f9 play around in my map...all is good. However, I then get out of hammer, close it down, crank up OC select "create Server" select the map I just made and half way through loading I get :
" unable to load authentication library, exiting" (or something close to that)
I can then start OC again and select "create server" and select another map (broken escape is a good one) and I get the same error.
After re-installing the whole thing (OC) I can get it to work.
IS there something I am missing?

Getting an error
same error yes, but it sounds like they are having a few more problems. I did hear of the fix where you delete all files in the C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\nakedgijoe\half-life 2\bin Directory and connect up to Steam and it would automatically re-install / update your bin folder....I have never had to do this but if it keeps happening maybe I will. I wanted to make sure it was'nt a OC thing, like you have to close your left eye and have all porn turned off before you can start up OC or something like that
