Valve have really lost the plot with this steam rubbish. Steam is quite possibly the most buggy and useless peice of cr"p I've ever had the misfortune to install. I've lost count of the number of times its crashed or not loaded. it takes 5 minutes to even load for christ sake. The fact they beta tested it for months makes it even more shocking!
My housemate can't even get steam to update cs or hl it just crashes.
Quite simply its put me right off play cs , I used to play loads and I just don't feel the urge anymore.
Don't even get me started on cs 1.6 thats got even more bugs and flaws in. Some1 at valve needs to be introduce to HCI pronto.
