Steam major screw up

Postby UberNoob on Sun Jan 10, 2010 9:58 pm

Hi again people, I need some help (act surprised) with steam. Recently, all of my games and tools have stopped working completely. With games it gets to the preparing to start... message, and then stops doing anything. With the tools (source sdk) the main window launches, but I cant start hammer or faceposer, because they crash instantly. I've already tried verifying the game caches, and steam support is no help at all. Any help will be appreciated.

MUST...PLAY...GAMES :evil:

Anything in steam.log?

One common home remedy is to log out and delete/rename your clientregistry.blob file. (It gets rebuilt later, it's a cache.)
