    When I try to start up Steam of the gaming server, then I found this "Failed to take Master Pipe Connection lock" error. It occurs whenever I try to do this starting task on the system. I need the perfect solution that helps me to remove such problem. This problem happened after I added an ambient generic to play a sound when a door fully opens. Any type of help to solve this problem will be appreciated.

    If you get this error, there are three things to try, in order of pain-in-the-backsideness. This is the most important thing that helps to solve such kind of problem onto your system. Then you need to first check that the SDK reopens or not. If it is open then you need to close Steam itself and restart it. Then check the problem within this system. I think this will be work and it help to solve the problem. It is best way that helps to solve the problem.

    This sounds like a Steam issue, I had this error a lot while I was making levels for Off Limits. I try this restart system solution but it doesn’t work to solve the problem. Hence I decided to do the reinstall application on this system. Hence I perform this application reinstall process on the system using the proper procedure which is mentioned on the official site. Suddenly, it works and at the end of it helps to remove error.

    It looks like steam failed to take the master pipe connection lock. You should fix it, then it will work. You need to uninstall Gmod and then perform the reinstall task on it. If the problem is being present on this system, then you need to perform the remove all addons and shizzle task on this system. Then try to start it all over. I hope this will be work and you can able to fix this problem. Then try it and see the performance of the system.
