Steam (CS:S) Help!

DemonX

Just a few days ago i tried to play Counterstrike: source. I clicked 'play games' - 'counterstrike' and the normal "prepairing to play" box popped up.
Then nothing... no game starting, nothing. I was just wondering if anyone has had such a problem and if you know how to fix it.

To my knowledge, nothing new has been installed and i have not uninstalled anything either.

Being somewhat of a computer illiterate, some help would be much appreciated.

Funny you post this- I get the opposite. I usually play DOD by clcking on my desktop shortcut, and lately IT won't always work, but going STEAM>PLAY GAMES>DOD does. I did hear that Steam was down over the last couple of days.

BLOB file should be here: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob

DemonX

no luck doing that im afraid. :bawling:

any other ideas?

DemonX

Nice one guys!

deleted the BLOB file, restarted and it worked. Magic
