I don't own the game!?

[Jelly]

I suddenly crashed playing msc so I though "eh?" and I looked in my console.

BUILD 3647 SERVER (0 CRC)
Server # 2
Couldn't open file overviews/heras.txt. Using default values for overiew mode.

You equip the Helm of Cold Resistance.

A stench of evil stings your nostrils.
This Steam account does not own this game. 
Please login to the correct Steam account.

All I did was host a server on Heras. Any ideas?

seems like there is a new bug with steam where it forgets that you own halflife, its happened to me a few times.
you have to relogin to steam.

There was a major Steam outage causing this for everyone (in every mod) earlier today.

Not just today, if you actually checked steampowered forums you'd see they've had this problem occurring, and re-occurring, over the past year... random disconnects giving that message; of course it is much more frequent at times, it still happens randomly every now & then...

You'd think they would've gotten a generator setup to avoid power outages by now.... maybe some backup satellite Internet connections too...

Well, as to that error, it has been around for sometime... last time it kept hitting at me over & over, a simple deletion of the clientregistry.blob file fixed it immediately (since it re-downloads the file fresh when you next start steam).
