I found out the reason on steampowered.com furoms. evil is right they unlocked it so they could patch it. so when it says unlocking shutdown steam before it can lock it and see if you can do anything with hl2 lol.

LOL! You made me laught dude! That was sneaky ! Anyways... I have to admit that I almost got a heartattack when I saw it saying.. Unlocking half life 2 files... Till I realised that nothing was actually unlocked I was with a heartbeat tripled . But then i was so dissapointed .Are they messing with my head?

Anyways, I thought that it was all a patch thing once i read the fixxes so... At least all those annoying little kids that were using that %n thing won't be getting on my nerves anymore... They were like.. "you made me do it! Its all your fault!" Wtf did I make you do? bug me for a game that I paid for? I'm not gonna respect them at all so... THANK GOD NO MORE %n!!!

It seems the smoke grenade bug is not out of the question yet.. I just played a game, and a smoke grenade landed on a rifle. The same thing happened as before.. Just rolling around on it, and making that crappy sound all the time.

No doubt about it.. CS: Source is a great game.. Altho i think it needs alot of updates, before it is finished.

The bouncy thingy on the barrels and such. And the fact, that you cant even stand on a barrel.

The stutter thing, when you go up against a wall.

The cant shoot thing. When you "load" the grenade when about to throw it, but fastswitch to a weapon if an enemy appears. You cant shoot the first time you click. Very annoying, and gets you killed a lot.

There are tons of bugs still to be fixed.. I really hope the fix that barrel thing.And of course.. Bring back the chickens on cs_italy!

Maybe try restarting steam completely. Or try launching cs source through steam. I'd love to fix %n and play, but I'm at work

Neon a restart of steam is required. Sometimes it takes a reboot of your PC for it to kick in however there was an update today to CSS and DODS.
