Steam trouble

[itszutak]

Yes, but having to sign into steam every time I want to play would be a pain in the ass tbh, I'm not much of a steam user in general

Steam signs in automatically when you turn on the computer, no need to sign in again when you want to play the game.

But besides that I would NEVER EVER recommend someone using steam's launcher for UT3.

Steam hates UT3 for some reason, and it's the only game I've ever had problems with on steam.

i found the solution people.

and it works with any steam game, beacuse all sorts of games are getting it.

what it is is a corruption of some local data for the game to fix simply do this

For anyone still stuck:

I noticed that after I installed Half-Life 2(for the second time ..properly without errors), (In Steam) the "Updating starting.." next to it didn't move, after many PC and Steam restarts.

I tried everything everyone else suggested, and here's what worked for me:

Right-click Half-Life 2, go to Properties, Local files:

(1) Verify integrity of game cache
(2)[most importantly] Defragment cache files

Defragment, lastly as I did, worked for me. Though I don't know if this will work for everyone.

Once i did that, it did a mini update on UT3 to fix what was missing and ALLLLLLLL was goooood

i might put this in my sig for refference.

Enjoy!
