Cannot browse servers for HL2DM or CS:S, not too bothered about the latter.
Steam also thinks CS:S and HL2DM are not installed.
Any ideas?

1) Close steam

2) delete ClientRegistry.blob

3) Go take a long ass walk

come back, launch steam. If it fails, repeat step 3 until your problem fixes itself, most likely that's what happens

Yea was the first thign I tried, it didnt work Ileft it alone for a few hours and when Ireturned Somehow it magically fixed the server problem but now I can't see any chat in game, whenever I type anything it comes out as "hl2mp_chat_all"

I have seen this eror befor but cannot remember how it was fixed.

Was a random map using create server.

It was a corrupted hl2mp_english.txt file.

Steam still sucks.

It's using Windows, which is a US OS.

Windows is well known at not being very good to stop viruses. Wich is why it cannot self-terminate.

Why is the directory- c:"for steam" and the exe is steam.exe?

That is screwy.

Should be c:Steam/Steam or c:Steam/steam.dll

Shouldn't it?
Dont have your AV on when playing. That is a nogo.
I don't get the hatred aimed at Steam?!?
Its down rarely, a little sluggish sometimes.
But, for what it does, its pretty good, like ITunes.

Itune is an even bigger piece of trash.

ITunes is trash if you don't know how to use the shit.
I have tried all of them and for my huge library, Itunes is very nice.

But then, i like a stable library with all the artwork.
