New Source SDK Beta

Getting the Source SDK Beta

To run this beta version you will need to add -beta sdk0611 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 sdk1031 right after Steam.exe. Please report any issues you find in Bugzilla.

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:

  1. Open the Steam window.
  2. Choose Settings from the File menu.
  3. Click on the Interface tab.
  4. Uncheck the Run Steam when Windows starts option.
Note.pngNote:Be sure to run the game you wish to edit before running the SDK, to make sure you have the latest updates.
