Incompatible ASPproxy.dll (Astrill)

[Landian Horror]

I've tried updating both Astrill as well as Steam (reinstalls as well) but I keep getting an error upon starting Steam that "An incompatible version of ASProxy.dll (related to Astrill VPN) has been detected inside of the Steam process". Is my only option to disable Astrill because that's where the conflict is coming from? Edit: The problem is that I'm in China, so the VPN is kind of a necessity to have for running things unrelated to Steam.

I would advise against using a VPN with Steam. There should be no reason why you need to use one when on Steam.

Additionally, the Steam Subscriber Agreement actually forbids the use of a VPN with Steam.

If this has anything to do with China and blocking of certain sites, you might want to join this thread... http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/10/1458455461480324749/

I use it because I'm in China. I keep it on when I play games so I can still use Youtube.

Don't use it when you are on Steam. Join the thread I linked in my last post. We can't help you bypass the Great Wall.

Having the same issue. Any luck fixing it, OP?

Yo guys, have you considered simply NOT running software that hooks Steam? Even if you are using a VPN (which is forbidden), why aren't you using one that doesn't hook programs?

Your reply isn't helpful at all. I'm not using a VPN with Steam. It's just installed. Having Astrill and Steam installed has been fine for literally years, until today when I was forced to reinstall Windows.

That's because that VPN product is total garbage. Steam updated its netowrking to be faster using STANDARD windows networking API calls. This VPN software is so garbage it cant handle STANDARD windows networking API calls and causes your entire system to crash.

THus steam detects this POS software and tells you "stop using this POS and get something else"

The solution is "uninstall it"

hello, i just asked the same problem to Astrill contact and they replied. It worked like charm. Here is the solution:
1-Log in to Astrill application > Press "CTRL" and click on help then select the option of "Uninstall LSP
2-Confirm the prompt then and click ok.Then you need to restart the device.
3- Try again to connect with Astrill again and it should work fine then.

It seems you just need to uninstall LSP lol

For the record, it may not be needed to access steam. But in China it is needed to access some of the games on Steam.

This is certainly against the TOS. Stay safe

Thank you for the solution!
