Hey, i haven't been on the forums for quite a while, but i need some help.
I'm new to the whole steam, valve, ect thing, and i'm having some problems with CSS, Ive been successful in CoD4 and me and a few mates wanted to try CSS out.
Here's what i did:
I got steam, made an account
Went to but CSS, i bought it no worries
It downloads in steam perfectly, then when i go to launch the game starts up then crashes with this error: half life 2 platform error engine failed to initialize
I googled it a bit and saw that reinstalling steam was meant to fix the problem, i did, now the game is downloading again off steam
I'm new to this whole 'steam' thing can someone tell me whats going on? i'm worried downloading it again will just result in the same error.
Also a bit of explanation about how the whole process with steam works i'm a n00b at it.
