I just came back from a reboot after I made the post. Reopened steam a quick box came up that said applying updates (not sure for what) then the client launched. Still the same problem though.
P.S. This is why I like to have physical copies of all of my games. Dirt 2 is the only thing I have digitally. Figures it doesn't work.

Ok I did this and it said that 3 files were something or another and would be reacquired there was a box for OK so I pressed it. Does it reacquire the files automatically or something.
Man I feel so stupid... I'm going to try and restart steam again i guess.
poppabk said:Hahaha, keeping saves for all games in a single saved games folder, how does that make any sense?
I meant in the actual game folder, ie Mass Effect 2 save in Mass effect 2 steamapp folder. But no, they were in C:\Windows\user\Neil\documents. While steam is on D:
Can't I just leave them there ?

Is it me or is there like no wishlist link to give out to people?
I'm still debating if i want to preorder Just Cause 2. They should have tried to get a 4-pack :lol.

I'm in the same boat with Just cause 2. Really wish there was a 4-pack deal.

I just want to play the game today. If steam would let me all would be well in my little world right now.
However, it will not allow me to play. I've rebooted my PC and steam twice, verified the files was missing 3 the first time, restarted steam, verified the files again it says all is well. Even with all of the files being 'verified' it still will not launch..
SMH.. at least I didn't technically pay for it.. Sorry if my P.S. comment sounded trollish I was simply expressing my experience with not getting these types of issues with physical media. If someone saw that as a troll then they need thicker skin.

Don't worry about it. It seems google is pretty sensitive, slightest word or phrase seem to set him off.

are you letting steam download the files before restarting? try verifying it again after it's done. seems there was a large patch released the other week as well.

Apparently there is a SE/Eidos week going on Steam. The Hitman and Deus Ex games are 50% off each or 66% off their entire pack.

Wow Deus ex 1 for 5 bucks! must get! also if i am not mistaken the sequel is crap so i can safely skip it.
If you haven't played Deus Ex (shame on you!), you really have no excuse not to buy it right now. Do it. Doooooooooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. One of my all-time favorite games.
Give Invisible War a pass, though.
Oh yeah, my disc copy works fine on Windows Vista 64-bit and all that jazz, so don't worry about that aspect of it.

The Deus Ex collection is $2 more than the individual games. Looks like Steam never updated the price of the collection when the individual games price dropped, as the games are a regular $10 each and the 2 game collection is a regular $30. Going to wait and see if they fix the price. The collection is supposed to give you a steeper, 60% discount. Should be $8, not $12.

That entire pack is pretty nice. But I also already got the Eidos pack so this doesn't work for me.
Edit: Did they eliminate the Eidos complete pack? It seems to be gone.

So for anybody who's had to deal with Steam support, what's the typical response time to a question?
I was in the middle of using Steam on Thursday (about to download the Just Cause 2 demo), when I got logged off with the message that the "credentials had expired". I went to log back in, but since I haven't needed to log back into steam for the two years that I've had it, I didn't remember what my password was. So, I hit the "forgot your password" button to start the password reset process. Sure enough, a minute later I get an email from steam with a validation code to use to reset my password, and a "secret question" to answer.
Unfortunately, unlike every other secret question I've ever dealt with, this wasn't actually a secret question I picked out in the first place. It was "What did customer support last reset your passphrase to?".
Yes, that's the actual question I was supposed to provide the answer to in order to finish resetting my password. Now, seeing as I've never actually had customer support reset a passphrase (and I don't really know what they mean by "passphrase" in the first place), I'm kind of at a loss. I shot off an e-mail to Steam and set up a Steam Support account, but my question still sits there, unanswered since Thursday.
I've never had to deal with Steam's customer service before, so I don't know at what point I should start to bug them through other channels. I'm guessing that they don't do anything on weekends, but how many business days does it typically take to get a response?
