    It did the same thing to me just now - so I shut it down with task manager. Afterwards I managed to get in after a few seconds. Just one of those quirks, I guess.

    Bah come on peeps you must have something else to play <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Go complete an epic single player game (Deus Ex)
    Play a MMORPG (COH)
    Play a RPG (NWN)

    Or you could always go out into the real world lol instead of moaning about steam.

    well, got mine to update....

    now, game starts, that music i had turned off plays, and the buttons dont appear. i left it doing this for an hour, hoping it would eventually come up. never did. im gonna reinstall NS. hopefully that may make it work.

    i reinstalled NS. no effect.

    cs, dod, tfc, dmc, even ricohet work, just not NS.

    before steam done all this crap, i made a small modifycation to ns. downloaded a new lmg model and followed the install instructions precisely.

    i thought that might have caused it, so i uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, tryed it again, no effect. gonna try deleting my clientregistery.blob
    ill give back news as soon as i have it.

    I did have same problem but its working now. Bit of taskmanager fidling and ASE having a whack at running steam and it worked after updating both steam and HL and CS.

    But im in Australia.

    STEAM was running all servers at over 100% capacity the past 24 hours... no wonder!
