    Ok, so, pretty much my steam decided that it hated me, and wont let me play ANY games. I try to launch Gmod, and steam says it launches, but it never actually does, and C:SS i can launch, but i cant do anything once ive gotten to the starting screen. Halp!

    P.S. This is my original account, as I couldnt get the recover password to work for my usual one.

    I had this problem earlier today I dunno I think it's steam doing some bullshit, it randomly stopped happening.

    Try -autoconfig as a launch parameter after you've updated your drivers etc.

    By the way, have you ran portal or CSS at least once? If you haven't, that explains the crash.
