Now the lucifer version of CS source works FINE. Yes u heard right, FINE!

If u dont have a hard drive allocated for D:\, you will get this error message

"Failed to create directory d:\counter-strike-source, Win32 Error 21 "The device is not ready."

why? because the program is trying to create files there..
I have 2 drives (one on D:\) and i noticed it created a file named "codename gordon.gcf" on the D:\ drive

So here's the fix I've found to this problem:

1. go to the root directory (e.g., c:\Program Files\counter-strike source\), you should find a file called "ClientRegistry.blob"
2. open that file with notepad
3. use Edit\find and search for "gordon"

you should find some text saying "D:\counter-strike-source\SteamApps\Codename Gordon.gcf"

4. Now instead of using "D:\counter-strike-source\" in that text, change the drive letter and path to one that exsist's on your computer (probably C:\).

EXAMPLE
so lets say ur game is in "C:\program files\cs source\", you should change the text u found in ClientRegistry.blob ("D:\counter-strike-source\SteamApps\Codename Gordon.gcf") to "c:\program files\cs source\SteamApps\Codename Gordon.gcf".

5. THATS IT, i've tested this already and it works fine

Have fun

ya ya eveyrone know its nuked.
This is for people who found the EMPORIO's release just not working after setting it up properly (I for one am a victim), confusing to set up or just dont want to redownload.

so before u tell me what release is nuked or 'proper', understand some people's situations may be different, mmmk?

"ya ya eveyrone know its nuked."

meaning that i Knew it was nuked/unproper

"so before u tell me what release is nuked or 'proper', understand some people's situations may be different, mmmk?"

meaning yes empiros version is 'proper' but the lucifer version was the only one that ran for me, so, for me and my situation, luzifer's version was more 'proper'.

no one else post shit bout empirio like if i needed to know this OLD information, I have my own reasons for choosing Luzifer even though the 'proper' version is empirio.

so everyone just leave me alone, gawd.
