Hi guys...

Earlier on today i tried to run CSS and it started to load then it suddenly stopped and came up with this error:


However i can run CZ and CS fine... Just wondered if anyone has any ideas or solutions.

Thanks

Acctually i had the same problem a couple weeks back i just deleted local content then went to the Cstrike folder and deleted that and then reinstalled..

Worked for me

[BeN]

Thanks crushed ill try that later on

*EDIT* I've tried that and it comes up with the same error, is it because my laptop won't run (not a good enough spec) anyways let me no what you think....

[CrushedSouls]

What spec is the lappy, as a Sandwich Toaster connected to a portable tv could run CSS..

the only other thing i can think of is maybe to ask JESUS he may have

Hi Ben....

What you need to do is uninstal steam fully (pain in the rear I know). Then run the reg cleaner I pointed you towards - http://www.tweaknow.com/RegCleaner.html

Then re-install steam and CSS. Make sure you have a stable connection when downloading the steam app it'self.

The memory issue is not just a CSS issue it's a steam one tooSo always best to get rid of the whole lot.

Thanks J5 ill start doing that now

ill need to remember my sign in cos i dont want to lose my games lol

ps

Reinstall

[Magikpro]

I had the same problem also but with cs hmm weird

[BeN]

Do you still have the problem or can you play it now?

[Fidel]

Delete your ClientRegistery.blob in your Steam folder , restart steam then see if that helped , that little file Solves a lot of problems

[Smurfy]

I had this problem on my laptop... didnt have a clue.

[BeN]

Fidel, I tried that and had no luck
Smurfy, Does it work now or still not?

[Smurfy]

nope never figured it out...

[BeN]

Hopefully we'll find a solution

Un-installing your entire steam games collection, and then going to program files and make sure all the folders have gone and none remain.

Then before re-installing clean the registry of any steam related entries. Now if you know your way around a registry you can do it manually.

Or if you don't, then use the following program.

http://www.tweaknow.com/RegCleaner.html

Change the settings to advance mode, and ensure it is set to do a full scan. Scan your pc, and delete any entries it offers up. you never know it may also get rid of a bit more fluff while it's at it

You may need to run it a second time, as deleting some duff entries can expose more.

Incidentally, Tweaknow have a nice little of collection of free tools to help with keeping your pc nice.

p.s always back up your registry before making any changes, including fixes

After all that, re-install steam and JUST the game you are having probs with. It makes it easier to narrow it down to just that game been the issue.

[BeN]

I'll start sorting it out

[Smurfy]

Hmm il give it a go then

[Marko]

I think i had that error but when i clicked ok it just continues into css, lol

[Greycloak]

I actually just mentioned this in another topic. Try adding the following launch option to CS:S

-dxlevel80

If that doesn't work you can also try -dxlevel70

[famasnewb]

Yeah as Greycloak said, the dxlevel is the best, Alot of games did that for me and it works well. Happend to me a couple of times.

Change DXlevel to 8. Also rightclick CSS --> Properties --> Delete local game cache
