Whenever I load a server (including my own) The loading works as normal until i get to the part where it says "Precaching resources...". Then it slows down and eventually freezes. Trust me its not that im impatient, i've left it and gone and watched a few hours of t.v., came back and had it still stuck there. If anyone has had this problem or has any idea why it might occur, please post! I can't play counter-strike . I have to restart or leave it to go too screen saver before i can hit ctrl-alt-delete and end process(it says not repsonding in case that helps).

btw its not my 'net connection or i wouldn't be posting

try reinstalling steam

i reintalled steam and its all okay now, but i was hoping someone could try to figure out why this might happen? Im afraid ill do it again

When steam downloads its updates, they do not always install properly. This can cause some very odd behavior. Sometime rebooting fixes the issue, other times you have to reinstall.

so its not my fault.


*phew*

!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!


its happened again.

It freezes in the same spot.. Is there a way for me to manually install steam updates? Perhaps it would fix the problem...

EDIT: I know i doublee posted, it just doesn't seem right to put the two topics in the same post.

Try rebooting your computer.

tried, didn't work. I am in the process of reinstalling again, and i just watched steam uupdate wwith no reported errors, so.... *fingers crossed*
