I have googled, MSNed, IRCd, asked, and begged everyone I know to help me with this problem. I'm seriously hoping SOMEONE can give me a clue as to what the heck I'm doing wrong.
Right after CS:Source beta was released, I decided to stop playing CS through Steam for a while. About a week ago, I went to connect to a server, and Steam ran a bunch of updates. When I connected to the server, I was okay.. or at least I thought so....
Within about 1 full minute of game time, I was booted from the server with no error messages. Steam didn't crash completely, but I was disconnected from the server and dumped back at the menu. I connected to a few different random servers to make sure it wasn't server-specific, and the same thing happened.
I read some documentation on deleting ClientRegistry.blob, then restarting Steam so that it would run the updates again, and even after doing that it didn't work.
So, I decided to get adventurous, and install Point2Play using cedega and transgaming. Everything appears to have installed and now, I'm getting exception errors every time I turn around.
I read some more that I needed to have installed SteamInstaller_cs.exe instead of SteamInstaller.exe, so I went ahead and downloaded SteamInstaller_cs.exe and installed that. Even though I lose the exception, I still get booted from the server for no reason whatsoever. I'm so frustrated at this point. I've spent about 3 days looking through forums and trying out solutions that seemed to have worked for other people.
I finally, tonight, found a dll file that needed to be installed on the windows drive where CS is stored. Even doing that didn't fix the problem. I hear that the support for Steam sucks and that I should just give up and buy another copy of the software, but that just seems silly...
PLEASE if anyone has any ideas, please please please help me. At this point, I dont even really care about the game, but figuring out how to fix this in the future would be fantastic.
cheers
