New 1.6 update, most hated?

[SoUlFaThEr]

i know i know...i tried magic as a kid and gave that up too

ok it worked for me finally with this routine:
1. erase mp.dll
2. call mp.dll from liblist, join game, change maps, exit.
3. call metamod from liblist with NO plugins, join game, change maps, exit.
4 call metamod with pod only, and it was finally working.

whew, now back to hoping i can get XP somehow......what does it cost anyway?

Hmmm... yes... clientreg.blob... I heard that somewhere... gotta try next time. Custom.hpk as well, huh? NICE hints - hopefully they work for me... next crash, I'll try. (i.e. in about two weeks, I s'pose... )
Steam Updates are always dangerous for me, but once I got it running, it's actually ok. The last crash was my bad, anyway.

@PMB: For WinXP, I gotta find a way to get my dirty fingers on a pro version that doesn't cost more bucks than Bill Gates deserves kicks up his famous *ss, 'cuz there's no way I'm gonna install that crippled home version. And from what I have heard, it takes some time and effort to reduce the "X.P. phone home" phenomenon... Plus, I don't like the looks. And at least I'm quite virus / trojan / worm-safe with my Neanderthal Windows - it's so pathetic many worms don't even bother attacking it... maybe pity?
Nah, the proggie that crashes most is Steam, and thanks to Onno I know a few more tricks to fix it now... and as long as you remember to reboot as soon as something's wrong, it's actually quite possible to live in the stone age.

ya ereasing the clientregistry.blob will automatically make steam "try" and update...

but for the most part ive heard tons of different solutions... ( loging in then out... connecting to servers... copy and paste )

just keep trying i know it seems like steam doesn't wanna work but it will eventfully function ( and add more to the ever growing list of HEAD ACHES )
