Whenever I try to compile the .qc file (For HL2), I get either "SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x0032F9CC) failed with error 1: failed to take master pipe connection lock" or "SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x0018F170) failed with error 1: Failed create pipe: 6, Win32 Error 6 "The handle is invalid." "
I'm not a moron, I've tried restarting Steam, and it didn't work.

If anyone wants the files I'll upload them so you can check them out.

Try moving recompiler to your ep1 folder, and/or open your source SDK (to make sure steam is not validating cache or something)
