ESF HLDS no longer starts

Hello. I'm using HLDS Update Tool (the one from Steam website) and ESF server doesn't seem to start anymore.

This is the list of things I do before starting it:
  1. Download & install HLDS Update Tool into D:\HLServer.
  2. Go to cmd prompt and type "D:\HLServer\HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game valve -dir D:\HLServer".
  3. Wait till the files are finished downloading and it shows 100.00%.
  4. Install ESF or copy esf folder (tried both methods) into D:\HLServer.
  5. Try to start hlds.exe with all field filled correctly.
It gives me an error "Unable to initialize Steam."

Everything works fine with other games. Any suggestions?

I've tried to use older build swds.dll, but it shows that server is out of date (though it's not a big deal) and AMX Mod X doesn't work.
