I'm getting frustrated.

Whenever I try to run ESF via Steam, this error appears:

What the hell is happening? It's been this way for more than a month already!

 

[elNarr]

i had that error also sometime now...

1.Download Ccleaner from here

2.launch it and go to Issues tab:

after the progress is done:
Press Fix Selected Issues->it asks u to backup files, press NO.

if it doesnt work, then u should just reinstall steam, but for me that trick worked just fine.

 

[dan_esf_fanatic]

Oh, great. Now it says:

 

[elNarr]

ok, now u just exit ur steam, and now if it says steam is already running, press:
ctrl+alt+del, and then go to processes tab and check if there is Steam.exe, if there is click it, and press: stop process.
if there isnt, well... start the steam!

EDIT: and if it STILL doesnt work, then the steam is again ****ing up at us!

 

[dan_esf_fanatic]

DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!! Still doesn't work!! Well, I'll try reinstalling Steam once I get rid of this ****ing bandwidth limit. For now, it's WON for me.

 

[elNarr]

;D Won owns. but how do u manage to play esf servers at there?

 

[dan_esf_fanatic]

Can't tell you that. Pain is on watch.

 

[elNarr]

;D admins on the move.

That's right.

It's too bad that Steam doesn't have an official forum where you can ask people more qualified what's wrong.

Really.

I think Pain` was being sarcastic.

Oh, great. Now it says:

Generally deleting the ClientRegistry.blob in the main Steam folder will fix this issue.

EDIT: Make sure Steam's off when you delete the file. Then when you start Steam again it will redownload the file for you.

 

[dan_esf_fanatic]

Tried it again and again. Tried repairing Steam, but nothing. Tried reinstalling ESF and Half-Life, nothing. Like I said, once this stupid bandwidth limit dissapears, I will reinstall Steam. No other way.

 

[Grega]

Dan ask on the STEAM forums befor you throw everything out.

 

[dan_esf_fanatic]

I did. They said the same stuff you guys did, "delete ClientRegistry.blob", "Reinstall Steam", "Redownload Half-Life" but nothing. So, never mind.

 

[john_volkov]

I think you suld reinstall esf this might work run hl once befor instaling esf

 

[dan_esf_fanatic]

I can't. Even if I uninstall ESF Half-Life still won't run. So the problem can't be in ESF, since it works fine with WON. It must be either Steam or Half-Life. Therefore, all I can try now is reinstalling Steam, which I can't do right now.

LookyO_O what I found.

"If deleting the clientregistry.blob file does not resolve the issue, please exit Steam and delete everything under the Steam installation directory except Steam.exe and the /SteamApps/ folder - this will force Steam to update when you log in"..

Hope this helps.

 

[dan_esf_fanatic]

Look, when I delete clientregistry.blob, Steam indeed DOES update. But it doesn't solve my problem. I don't see how deleting almost everything in my Steam folder is going to do that either.

 

[Raeku]

I got that from the steam site.. they thought it might help and so I thought it might help you. If you would rather just reinstall the whole folder, by all means go for it.
