Getting the Source SDK Beta
To run this beta version you will need to add -beta sdk to your command line when you start Steam. This can be done by opening up the Windows shortcut you use to launch Steam and adding -beta sdk right after Steam.exe. Please report any bugs or issue you find in this article.
Important: You should also disable Steam from running automatically when Windows starts, to prevent it from running the non-beta SDK. To disable Steam from running automatically:
- Open the Steam window.
- Choose Settings from the File menu.
- Click on the Interface tab.
- Uncheck the Run Steam when Windows starts option.
Note: Be sure to run the game you wish to edit before running the SDK, to make sure you have the latest updates.

-beta sdk. - Launch Steam from the shortcut.
- Choose Source SDK from the Steam window.
- Choose Refresh SDK Content from the Source SDK panel.
- Wait for the Source SDK panel to finish refreshing the SDK content with the standard SDK files.
