i haven't had any problems with hammer or the new update, oddly hammer is the only program that hasn't let me down with excessive errors

did you try just opening the launch file in your program files orph, maybe your shortcut got messed up

My Steam is still down.

Question: I heard that the applaunch numbers have changed. Could this have caused my steam to bork out?

Anywho, how many others steam is still down?

Check steampowered.com forums Orph, there's always someone with the same problem as you over there.

Oh yes, that's pobably why I started this thread but I forgot to write: Does anyone know how this guest passes work? I think it's a nice feature. How are these trials limited?

Guest pass = free 3-day trial. You can send it to an existing account or an e-mail adress (with instructions on how to download steam and create an account).

It allows people to try out the full game.

3-day trial? Full game? What games does this apply to, surely no single-player games, right? That wouldn't work at all since nearly every single sp game can be finished in under 3 days if you put some effort into it.

It only applies to DoD: Source at the moment.

Hehe, no single player games, most certainly. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Yes. Read the Guest Passes FAQ for all the info regarding how they work :P

damn!

But honestly, I just thought more about whether if I get a guest pass for DOD:S, for example (and use it) this means I cannot guest-pass play any other game for the coming 6 months. Which, since I already did 2 free weeks for DOD:S means I shouldn't have taken the DOD:S and should have waited for another game that sounds more interesting instead.

Which isn't really that important.

At all. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I spotted something interesting in Steam Update News today: A note to European Steam users: we'll be adding support for five new languages soon in Steam, Counter-Strike: Source, and Day of Defeat: Source. Those languages are Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, Danish, and Finnish.

Considering that Finnish is often ignored language in games this came to me as a bit of a shock. But then again there must be a sizeable amount of Steam accounts in this country for Valve to add support for our language(there are only 6 million people in the whole world who are able speak it). :P I'm damn certain though that I'll be able to get some good laughs out of the wrongly translated parts(I assume that they'll use some program to translate the strings and due to the complexity of Finnish language those translations are mostly wrong).

Yay Finland. You rock guys. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

Now if they would only turn my steam back on, or whatever I did to bork it.

Damn it.. I guess I'm gonna have to just break down and visit the Steam forums. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/swear.gif">

I don't even know what's wrong with mine. I didn't have a problem until this update as I was on Steam the day before this happened.

Anyways, when Steam went to connect me it loads nearly all the way and then I get this message: Platform Error: bad module 'Servers/serverbrowser.dll', not loading.

I replaced that .dll with the same file off of another computer that my Steam account was on, and I still had no luck. Anyone have an idea?

Maybe delete it completely and let steam re-download it?

Steam crashes whenever I get that message. Sorry, I should've mentioned that before.
