I purposely crapped my pants

my steam is stuck trying to restart ("connecting steam account") for 5 min lol

Try running Half-Life 2 once. I know the SDK requires it before you can use most of the new materials. Just try it. Not saying it'll fix the problem, but it may be worth a shot besides just saying "GG VALVE MY GAMES WON'T WORK" etc etc...

[PeteRoy]

Update is complete, now I can't play any Half-Life 2 games, no CS source, no Half-Life 2 deathmatch, NOTHING.



FIX IT QUICK.

[HowlinMadMurphy]

Games all work for me, this is freakin' AWESOME. The choice of skins and new sprays is great, and it's a lot of fun (for the 5 or so minutes I've given it so far). Why did they keep HL2DM a secret? Oh, and for people having problems, (stupid question, but) did you wait for HL2 and CSS to update first?

[alex87]

what's going to happen to the non-official HL2DM?



owned.

[jo0ni3]

omg.. the guy's right... i can't get my HL2 based games to work...
