Got this error after I got the Steam update and let it try to restart:

steam.exe (main exception): cmultifieldblob(pserialized): fieldId defined twice

The solution is you go to your your Steam folder and delete the ClientRegistry.blob file and restart Steam. 

That is all.  Carry on.
You should be more like Cantrip.

After years of fiddling with the steam files ive noticed its actually not clientregistry that needs a kick in the 0010100's. Its AppUpdateStats.blob. Client registery I found out deletes ALL your personal settings on steam..... its this thing thats claimed well over a couple of dozen favorite server list... I couldn't figure out why the fuck everytime I needed to delete those files have my favorites completely vanished.

I still have my favorites, history, etc. 

Didn't Steam announce that they were going to fix it so no matter where you logged in, even on a friend's machine, that all your personal settings would come with?

no no, deleting ClientRegistry.blob will delete all your favorites from your steam list, all I know is that I haven't deleted that file for well over a year and everythings worked out fine.... even with a steam ticket problem, deleting only AppUpdateStats.blob worked just fine. The Client Blob doesn't need to be touched.
