i think i experienced the same problem as you guys last night. Had just installed CZ so thought it was partially that but then CS wouldn't load either.

I put it down to the fact that you cant do jack until all updates have been fully loaded, even if its CZ thats updating i couldn't play CS! Once it had all finished it worked fine.

I then for some reason had to restart steam to enter the server password. The password entry is buggy as hell.

Also, though i think this is my connection rather than CS/CZ, did anyone else suffere extremely intermitant lag? i couldn't play because it was so bad.
