This is such a joke - a not very bloody funny joke!
I just bought this game the other day (half life 2). I load it up, then I get:
steam.exe (main exception): unable to load library Steam.dll
I scanned for viruses, spy ware, ad ware. I turned off my firewall, turned off my virus protection, turned of spy ware, turned off adaware, I don’t have any other guardian progs, deleted that blob file people have been talking about, installed steam from website and I get another error problem with "8e8" ... That is only a fraction of what I can remember from the pop up that comes up.
Now I don’t mind the stuffing around, as with most games you do have to mess around to get the best experience out of your computer - but what I do hate is the lack of support from Steam.
I have noticed and contributed to a 17 page forum on steam on exactly this problem and the only solution steam have come up with is "this is a corrupt install. reinstall and you should be cool."
Well guess what, I'm not cool about crap service! I paid about $90 for this game. I'd just to get some value for money please!

I have Pent 4 2.8, 2 gig ram, 256 6600 geforce vid card - not that this is going to bloody help at all.
I paid a lot of money for a product that I have to configure, problem solve, alter files, delete files & bend over backwards for. I thought gaming was supposed to be fun?!
Can someone please ease my frustration?
