my guess: checking file-integrity, happens when decrypting/aka first install; when it fails you have to preload again, if not, the crc-control of steam was succesfull. has nothing to do with illegal content or warez-rls of cs:s.
yeah, i know; one of the reasons i really dislike to compare sw to any other product. it added it out of abstraction-purporse and to include some polemic. i buy around 1-2 games per month, and my rate of becoming really angry about the product's quality and differences between promised/hyped and...
yeah, sue someone. perhaps sue valve if they don't fix this issues asap??? *g*, jj. and sue valve for not keeping their it safe. or sue gabe for using "gaben". nah, still jj.
btw: as aneurysm are in early stages hard to detect, even by skilled medics, i wonder how you were able to tell...
don't got the point here. am i to slow and should be now sort of p'o?
nah, "we" has a "bad taste",as long the majority doesn't say ".... is authorized to represent our oppinions/meanings/thinkings/blablaings".
