Error: when starting off Steam: [30605][20446][404]

[RealHounder1971]

Fails the version check. Only started during current downtime, as I know usually people are able to get patches early. Tried advice from another thread including flushing dsn, resetting,e tc, and nothing has worked. Worked perfectly fine before the downtime, no issues at all.

They're doing hardware upgrades as well. All servers, including the validation servers are offline for now. Check again closer to completion time.

Kinda what I was hoping to hear.

Non-steam, no issues before.. etc. etc.

I have a friend still getting error codes, two of them to be exact.

[30413] [20496]

And then this second string of error codes they say is when they try to run it as admin.

I don't play on PC so I can't really help them but I'm just replying to this thread since it's already here in hopes of finding some other solutions from other PC users.
