Counter Strike Source problem, wont start up.

No warning messages, no pop ups, no nothing. I feel like an idiot, I have no idea what it does but I pressed F8 (or was it F10, dont remember) during a match and poof, it crashed CS and went back to desktop. Okay, no prob, i'll just start it back up. Nope, wont let me start back up again :blink: , it justs says preparing to play Counter Strike: Source (in that Steam box thing) but nothing happens, the box goes away and nothing happens. Task Manager shows that HL2.exe is not listed and CPU usage is at 1% :no: help an idiot out guys, please!

P.S. for the slow minded, I bought the game from the store, so yes, i have a valid key.

okay, according to steam/cs:s forums the new update doesn't let you play CS anymore (dont ask, probably a bug i don't even know wtf is going on). so i'm fucked along with everyone who plays CS source :(

are you sure its not the one that poeple downloaded?

looky what just popped up :w00t:

lol, it's funny. the game doesn't play for 15 mins and ppl freak out. lol. it's a patch and as u all know using steam will autopatch. now, having said that EVERYBODY has to install patch. so, if a server is running at said time it's not gonna patch. it needs to reboot to get patch. now, u just updated and no one or very few ppl have. so obviously ur not gonna get a game. give it time. lol.

ps. my css works fine.

so they wave "play half-life 2 multiplayer, play half-life 2 multiplayer" in my face, then snatch it away and say "just kidding :p "

lol pretty much damnit. so now i gotta wait :(

I bought a legit copy (fends off the cd key stealers) and mine wont start either :no::whistling
