I'm desperate... after the new Steam Update I have encountered problems ever since. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
It actualy boils down to the fact that the game(s) dont want to start properly. When I select a game from the games list, I get the game screen (for instance NS) and then it suddenly pops away, bringing me back to my desktop.
It is really bugging me and I dont know what to do. I have reinstalled Steam and the same thing keeps happening.
On rare occasions - mostly after I have restarted my computer - it does work (meaning I can play). But when I close Steam and reopen it I get the same problem over and over again. Or that or it freezes when i retry.
Is it a firewall problem? Or is it just some kind of conflict? Who will tell?
I have played through Steam with no big problems before, but now it's making my gaming-life impossible.

Delete ClientRegistry.blob and start it. Let it patch Steam up again (the blob I assume keeps the current patch info) so it has a full, clean install. Was having problems running anything, until I deleted that.
And if you get the 'could not connect to any' error, shut down your machine, wait 30 seconds, then start it again. It'll allow your Steam install to choose a different content server. (Yeah, it's stupid, but it prevents mass-migrations)
jesus christ i hate steam who would think of deleating crap like that.... thx steam is now auto updating THXSO MUCH i CAN FINNALY PLAY NS YEY thx man i rthought i was gonna have 2 reinstall... THX SO MUCH
When I did my Steam update it got to 25 % and suddenly the Steam progress window vanished. I was 'like WTH?'. But I waited it out and the progress window returned and update continued no problems.
This is what I figure is happening when you have the update to 25 % and the window vanishes, the 25 % it has done is core Steam update and Steam needs to restart the core before it can download the rest.
If you have a update that stops at 25 %, just wait a bit and see if the Steam window reappears to continue the update.

Hope that helps a bit.
