Hey guys!
For the last 2 days, many people have been having: Disconnect: Invalid Steam userID or Invalid Steam ID Ticket. I tried everything, including deleting blobs, restarting steam, restarting my PC; and restarting my router. For some reason my laptop worked fine. So I was searching the steam forums, and it seems I am not the only one with this problem. For the last 48 hours HL2/OB mods have not been working for a ton of people, but someone recently posted a fix, which works:
Go to your steam folder, and delete everything except for Steam Apps and Steam.exe. Steam will be prompted to download all the steam files (not your game files) again after you try to launch it.
Topic with the fix:

Yeah, this has been happening on every mod...
So frustrating as I saw some of my favorite mods catch **** for this, when it wasn't even their fault.
Oooookay, no offense, but that's kinda like carpet bombing a neighborhood just because one guy in one house is a criminal.
Just go to your Steam folder, then to the config folder, then delete ONLY the "config" file in the config folder, and if that doesn't work, then delete (or rename) the entire config folder, but theres no need to empty out your entire Steam folder.
Please note, the steam guard email verification thingy will still be activated.
This actually worked for me. Deleting config.vdf fixed the problem. Thank you!
deleting "ClientRegistry.blob" is enough, I believe.
Didnt work for me. When you do like Nathan_Hale posted that will help.
well maybe both blobs... when I had problems like these, it got back to normal without deleting so much stuff, but I can`t remember what exactly I removed.
Deleting both blobs still doesn't work.
