trouble loading source games

[hardkore]

hey

Just installed steam about a week ago as i got my pc back from my nans house. Windows was formatted and everything was from scratch. I have all the up to date drivers and i dont have any viruses.

ok now heres the problem...

I play all HL1 based games fine without error. I even play lost coast and HL2 fine but i cant play CSS or DODS. When i try to load CSS or DODS all i get is a windows error saying "hl2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". Its one of those send or dont send windows error things.

What could the problem be? I really wanted to play dod source aswell

no luck! Oh well looks like i wont get to try DODS. Shame as i was going to buy it aswell.

Been looking on the steam forums and quite a few people seem to be having the same problem i have with CSS and DODS since the last updates. Nice one valve
