Steam Loading Error

Post by Achronos-117 »

OK, Heres the deal, my friend went over to play. He downloaded some games onto his account. Then a day later, I log onto my account, I couldn't play Counter-Strike, I played HL2 Deathmatch once, then later, that too also just crashes. I can't play Lost Coast or some of the other mods i got. Only HL2 Campaign, GMOD 9, and some other mods work.

Do a virus scan. Sounds like he downloaded some malicious game.

I don't trust those pay-downloads, I'll just buy those at the store!

Try that. A reinstall might work. But i don't know how Steam 100% works.
