Today i started steam, and it updated, after which i have been unable to connect to any servers thru css. Hoping for a update patch #4 Smile.

The game freezes as soon as you select a server to join, at "connecting to server..." screen...

This seems to be happening only on Vengeance release, since they use Steam, not an external Steam emulator app, like Emperio does...

EDIT: Please read one of the posts below that will show you how to resume playing... Thanks guys! I have tested method #1 and it has worked for me Smile

A platform update is available and will be applied automatically when Steam is restarted. The changes include:

Steam

* Source MODs will now automatically appear in the games list
* Improved startup process for Steam
* Fixed crash when creating a backup that would span multiple DVDs
* Fixed a bug that would unnecessarily validate Steam caches after a cache corruption
* Fixed Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes and Codename Gordon failing to backup correctly
* Fixed a bug where the message “the game files will be deleted and re-acquired” would repeat
* Fixed offline mode failing after not connecting to Steam for more than a month


Half-Life 2

* Optimization to the Steam filesystem to reduce game launch and level transition time

Source SDK

* Simplified debug-launch process for MOD developers. MOD developers no longer need to place a config file in their directory
* Added a registry key for MOD developers to use to locate a user’s Steam installation located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\SourceModInstallPath

I can still play it cos I bought it Razz Smile

You Might as well buy it anyway... Give it a few more Steam Updates etc and I think the Warez groups will get sick of releasing Updates for it and move onto another game Razz

I have found a way to play on legit server with the vegeance release

you have to edit your steamenu.ini in hl2dm and css folders.
You have to clean out the ";" from the line where is written Originalsteam=blablabla
Instead of blablabla write the path of your legit steam installation and all will work again

It connects to the server but then the game closes down in a few seconds.

EDIT: I fixed it by backup my steam.org. Then I made a copy of the steam.dll and renamed to steam.org. (and adding the ; in steamemu.ini again)

I have only seen that error when I didn't have steam running. Try the thing I did. It worked for me.
