Any of you have an idea about a fix for this problem:

When I try loading 3rd party HL2 mods (Dystopia, Garry's Mod, Hidden:source), the "preparing to play HL2" window shows up for couple of seconds, then it dissapear, and then it seems like it's loading the game, but after 3-4 seconds it's stops loading the game - like I never loaded the game.
The computer do not freez or anything, and no error message shows up so I really have no idea what's the problem.

Here is a video describing the problem:
http://support.steampowered.com/cgi...hOQh&p_id=208760&p_tbl=1&p_created=1127592075

I have no other issues with the update, actually, I even gained like 10-15fps on most games.

And like I already said: HL2 single player works, HL2M works, CS:S works.
Only 3rd patry HL2 mods are giving me this problem.

I tried anything I saw:
I have Dx9.0c and Catalyst 5.9.
Removing Firewall entries - didn't helped
Disabled firewall and then run it - didn't helped
Disabling Anti-Virus - didn't helped
Re-installing the mods - didn't helped

Specs:
WinXP SP2 build 2600
RAM: 512mb
ATI Radeon 9600xt
Intel P4 3GHz

It's been posted numros times on steam forums, i've submitted a support ticket, mailed DougV, PM him, and got nothing.
Yeah, I know they have been busy in the last week, but they didn't even acknowledge the existence of this problem.

Give the Steam support team a chance. They normally take a few days to reply but everytime I've submitted something they've fixed it straight away

Dropped #cs_spetsnaz_model from server

I never even knew it was an exploit. I saw mygat people using it while playing Dystopia..but no crashes or anything\=

 

[Computer5k]

It only worked in cs , but that doesn't stop them from trying
