I'd like to let people know about a problem I had with preloading. When I first started to preload TF2, steam got stuck after I clicked preload and I had to terminate it, then it got stuck on 38%. Finally day later it started downloading and reached 100%, steam reported it as "pre-load complete".
However, when I opened the .gcf in GCFScape to play the sounds (as others have been doing), none of the files were valid and GCFScape said they were 0 bytes, even though steam reported them as 100%.
I renamed the gcf, then preloaded again and this time all the files were valid and worked. So I'm not sure if the gcf was actually corrupted or what, but anyone out there that had problems preloading might want to check it out. It would be annoying as hell to restart steam, see TF2 has been released but the files are corrupt/missing.
Hope this helps.
