cs:source v

[flab]

Almost every time i want to join a cs:source server steam starts his "validating cs:source file (1 of 1)" .. this takes 10 mins or so before it joins the server, sometimes jumping from 98% to 66% and starting over. Is it normal that it does that so often? cuz it's a right pain and source ain't that good that i'm gonna sit through that every time to play it.

i think its because, you dont close steam first, before you shut down your computer..just try it, it worked for me

I think thats been fixed with the new steam patch

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
