<b>This issue has been fixed, kinda. Adding a steam_appid.txt with the contents of 70 made it work like valve works. Still gets the error, but it starts up and is playable.</b>

I am trying to setup a default NS install for a game panel and am getting this issue when trying to start the server. I only get this error with ns, if I try to start valve I get the error but the server also finishes starting as well.

Starting NS: <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_gBEzeFSBWNU/Si3YsFYHm_I/AAAAAAAAAkM/kSjAE0UeEqM/s1280/ns.png" target="_blank">(see screenshot if you want)</a>

This ends here with an "Unable to initalize Steam" popup error message.
