UKCS Mega Game Servers

Yo im proper peeved since the new CS:S update I cant get into any CS:S server. I havent tried DOD yet but im assuming its prob gonna have the same prob..

It just sits there "retrieving server info" and then never loads any further!

any advice would be extremely helpful as steampowered is as helpful as an ant on a bbq...

Cheers

Kev - missing out on valuable woogie head pwning time!

are you able to get in by rejoining?

I noticed after making a new config with diff video settings I sometimes hang mid map load, very annoying, so could be a game setting causing it.

No luck

tried changing everything...

man this blows... it worked fine on Tuesday!

*shakes fist at steam* Curse u!

I have this problem about 50% of the time, I just hit Ctrl+Alt+Del/Alt-Tab/the Windows key as much as I can and hope I cna get onto the desktop, then shut it down.

no idea why this happens :S

(p.s. I haven't changed any of my config, cept a bind or two, and I havn't fiddled wiht the gfx settings at all

)

na Pope,

My CS:S doesnt crash... i can still quit normally.. i just cant play on any online servers :evil:

but i can run a server of my own so its not the game its summin to do with it connecting to the servers!

I HATE VALVE!

so how do you quit while its loading? press the cancel button? as that doesnt seem to work wiht me, although the 2 problems look very similar :S

try deleteing your clientregistry.blob file though, works wonders

verify integrety of game cache

goto properties
click advanced and click on verify cache

restart steam

I had exactly the same problem as you and on Tuesday night as well. The way I fixed it was by uninstalling all Valve & CSS stuff from PC, rebooting and reloading all the files etc... time consuming but worked a treat for me and works all fine now

Will try that if the worst comes to the worst. but I've bought stuff off valve such as DOD:S etc... will I have to repay for that??

FB - Cheers, Validating now *fingers Crossed*

You won't have to re-purchase anything that is located in your Steam account.

The quote button isn't working, but whoever said check the file integrity with steam, YOU ARE THE MAN.

Had to reinstall a file, WORKS A CHARM. Thanks so much
