Another Hl2 Error
<div class="IPBDescription">"unable to access...</div> Im getting a very strange problem... Whenever I try and play Hl2, it works just fine for a few minutes, but then it crashes with an error that goes like this "Could not access neccessary files because the connection to the steam server has been lost" then when I press "ok" it closes Hl2... It has been occuring before, but only like once an hour. But now, it seems to happen every 2 minutes. It happens no matter what level Im in or what Im doing. Also, if this is related or not, it seems that when I go to steam monitor it is updating Hl2 or something, it says I have about 91% but it goes so slowly, that Im guessing it's trying to replace a big file or something... I did a google search and turned up a german message board about Cs:s but that didn't help even after I translated it. Anybody know anything about this?

First off, the 91% thing makes me think that HL2 is still trying to preload.... which is really odd...
And another thing, remember Steam is going through some tough times..
Anyways, this might work for you:
In your steam menu, right click on the HL2 icon and choose "Make shortcut to desktop". Run HL2 from that and see if it works.
If that fails, try offline mode.
