This used to mean you had to update MSC... But thanks to those wild and crazy guys and Valve, *now* it means you have to update Half-Life, or give up Steam Pipe servers.
Basically, that entails a full reinstall:
1) Go to Steam Library, uninstall Half-Life. (Right Click, Delete Local Content...)
2) Re-download, start Half-Life, load Training Room.
3) Close Steam. *
4) Download the Full Installer, from yonder, and install.
5) Download the Betapack, also from yonder, and install.
6) Restart Steam.
* To be safe, at this point, you may also want to find your old Half-Life install (usually Steam\steamapps\<username>\Half-Life) and rename or delete it. Otherwise some legacy cross filing may occur.
If you can't play without a rolled back version of Half-Life, you are SOL so far as playing on Steam Pipe servers is concerned (this includes all the RKS servers). However, this latest patch (JUL2013b) does contain a few fixes for Valve's madness, and there are yet more work arounds coming for various other issues. You may also want to check the top post yonder in case there are solutions for problems you've not yet tried.
