Hello everybody
I’ve never had this problem before yesterday, when i installed Assassin’s creed brotherhood.
Yesterday i bought Assassin’s creed brotherhood and played it a little bit. Today, steam have been crashing for me many times, and 30 mins ago when i was about to play TF2, my game wouldent launch. It was stuck at the message “Preparing to launch Team Fortress 2”. It was not like the window froze, the game just dosen’t want to launch.
I’ve deleted clientregistrery.blob, that didden’t do it, so if anyone got an idea on what to do, i would appricate it!
Thanks
Have you downloaded the latest update? I remember when steam did that to me because it didnt dl an update :( although I cant remember how to fix it sorry :x
I’m quite sure i’ve downloaded the latest update. Thanks for the help tho.
It’s the same when i try to launch games like CS:S or DoD:S.
DELETE EVERYTHING
manual defrag by applying magnets

then delete the gcf files, maybe, so it has to redownload everything
gcf files dont need redownloading… just verifying content is enough to make sure they are 1:1 to original
You’re not running ATI tray tools by any chanse? Same problem with my steam yesterday. Google chrome wouldnt even launch through steam.

I could make a backup of my steamapps, and then reinstall steam?

It should be, ye, but I’m afraid it isn’t always, or at least so it seemed in a problem I had a while ago. My CSS launched but then immediately crashed with an error. Eventually fixed it by deleting some files in the hl (hl2?) folder. You could try that I guess (won’t hurt either way – steam will redownload them).
When I’m home tonight I’ll have a look and tell you which folders/files it were exactly.
