• Almost all my games will not start in Steam
    5 replies, posted
Hello all, So recently, I got this problem for TF2, but now it's spread to almost all my other games. [media]http://i51.tinypic.com/otm8vs.png[/media] So that picture will basically explain my problem. Those games are stuck on "Download starting...". If I go to the downloads tab, there's nothing there. Here are all the ways I've tried to get this fixed. -Right clicking the game and select "Pause Updating" -Right clicking the game and select "Resume Updating" -Deleted clientregistry.blob -Verifying doesn't work, seeing it doesn't even go past 0%. I've left my computer on for 2+ hours, and it was still on 0% -Deleted everything but steamapps and steam.exe -Restarted Steam -Restarted Computer -Changed download region -Clicking "Play" on all my games crash Steam -I click "Delete local content" even on Audiosurf which is only 375 MB, and nothing happens. And all those didn't work. I really need some help. Thanks. [editline]14th February 2011[/editline] Since not many responses, whoever helps me get it to actually work, gets my Sergent Drill Hat.
Unfortunately it would do this to all of your games, but when I have similar problems I uninstall Steam. It just then and there deletes all your files and may reverse your problem. Of course if you'd rather not reinstall everything you have on there than you should take another approach.
And what would the other approach be?
There is no other approach that I could guess. Just said that as in someone else might come along and know exactly how to fix it.
Oh great :saddowns: [editline]14th February 2011[/editline] huh, I navigated to my steamapps folder only to find my team fortress 2 folder missing. So I deleted the GCF's for it, and now everything is back to normal! :D
