Steam Client Update Released

Ev!L-aLphA · Nov 20, 2004, 04:08 AM

A small number of Half-Life 2 customers have been experiencing problems while playing the game, and we have traced these issues to corrupt Steam cache files. We've released a Steam update to help resolve these issues. If you have been experiencing problems such as crashing during gameplay or startup of Half-Life 2, please [color=#bfba50]restart Steam[/color] and then click on one of the links below. Steam will then automatically verify your cache files. The verification process will take roughly five minutes to complete.

To validate Counter-Strike: Source click here

We're also investigating a solution for the sound skipping problems a small number of users are running into. We'll have a solution for this as soon as possible.

I need to check this out.

The HL2 source check doesn't seem to do anything- it starts- is at 0% and then stops.. All the others go through to 100% and then just stop- no nothing telling me its fine, is that what yours did Dom?

I like this though---
