problems with battleground on steam

hey guys

Right i downloaded the full mod of battlegrounds (source version). When i go to play it by double clicking on the steam games list, it comes up with updating HL2 deathmatch. Its as if the battlegrounds name and icon have copied on top of HL2 deathmatch and i cant play BG's.
Tried uninstalling BG and reinstall but still the same problem.

help!

thanks

Did you install it in the correct location?

You probably need to have Half-Life 2 DM content installed to play it or something, or at least the correct cache files for it.

Edit, just checked the BG2 FAQ and it says you need HL2: DM installed to play it, so if you've not got that downloaded, download it.

Woot, Battlegrounds

.

You do need hl2dm installed to play bg2 at the moment. This will change in time, as each version is released more and more of the hl2dm code is stripped out. We also rely on the hl2dm animations at the moment. Hopefully once my animation skills improve enough I will be able to do custom ones.
