A platform update is available and will be applied automatically when Steam is restarted. The changes include:
Steam
Source MODs will now automatically appear in the games list Improved startup process for Steam Fixed crash when creating a backup that would span multiple DVDs Fixed a bug that would unnecessarily validate Steam caches after a cache corruption Fixed Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes and Codename Gordon failing to backup correctly Fixed a bug where the message "the game files will be deleted and re-acquired" would repeat Fixed offline mode failing after not connecting to Steam for more than a month
Half-Life 2
Optimization to the Steam filesystem to reduce game launch and level transition time
Source SDK
Simplified debug-launch process for MOD developers. MOD developers no longer need to place a config file in their directory Added a registry key for MOD developers to use to locate a user's Steam installation located at HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareValveSteamSourceModInstallPath

The new update crashed, my computer "while playing HL2" , and corrupted my graphics driver, which I had to reinstall. My computer continued crashing even after restarting "the computer"/reinstalling "the driver", it stopped crashing after I removed all the background applications and cleared the registry. Before the update I didn't have such problems / crashes , even if I had the normal hard disk slow downs due to memory restrictions. |

Yes ofcourse : My system is the following: Hardware: LeadTek 6600GT Not Overclocked, PC3200 512MB, Gigabyte GA-8I915G-MF motherboard, 80GB Hitachi/IBM with 2MB cache, Realtek 880 HD azalia sound chipset with the latest drivers, Software : Windows XP SP2 with all the updates, 71.20 Nvidia leaked drivers (I used them before the update to play Riddick and HL2 flawlessly). All the system updates/drivers where installed at the time, Avast Home, Qwick-Fix and IM2 where running at the time of the crash, I was playing HL2 at 1024x768 with all the features on, and desktop resolution 1600x1200, gfx is connected to the analog VGA. The DVD was not inside the drive as HL2 did not require it after updating to the previous update. After restarting, it prompt me to reinstall the drivers.. and for some reason my USB2.0 card reader totally dissappeared from the system which I could not recover , even today. And for some reason after a while it prompt me to update the JAVA 1.4 suspiciously as I had the 1.5/5.0 version before playing HL2 with the update. So this is what happened |
