TWHL, I need your help.

Every time I try to play a game or run a mod, my Steam freezes and I have to use the task manager. I can't play my mod, or the new mod I got, Fate Reversal, or anything else.

I don't know what's wrong, it worked yesterday. Also, I tried restarting my PC, I didn't work.

Who can help?

PS: Crollo totally meant it that way.
PSS: I have no idea what Crollo meant, I was too lazy to look at Shoutbox Live, help me out, lol. :walter:

Whenever I try to run a game, steam freezes, it doesn't respond. Like if I try Op4.

Verify game content, delete clientregistry.blob...

Usual fixes will generally get it going again.

slave labour mapping gives the best mapping. Where can I get some of these slave labour maps?

Right click the game in Steam > Properties > Tools (I think) > Verify integrity of Game Cache

Head to Program Files/Steam and delete the file called clientregistry.blob. Restart Steam and it'll redownload it.

Every time I go to the properties, Steam freezes. Should I just delete the blob file?

Well, I can't delete it when steam is up.

Q: Why not delete it when steam is down?
A: I can't reload steam for some reason, it says that Steam is already running, even after 5 minutes. I restore it every time, but I know it will probably load if I restart my computer.
Q: Why not restart your computer?
A: Because whenever i do, it is connected to a power curciut which runs our router. My mother's playing LOTRO and will be a while, so I have to wait.

Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and then go to the Processes tab. Locate steam.exe on the list, highlight it and then hit "End Process".

Then delete clientregistry.blob.

Dimbark, stop acting like an immature idiot. You may be one in real life, but the internet (at least the corner that TWHL is in) is less tolerant of such foolishness.

Don't be so harsh, he obviously didn't know what task manager was, but my recommendation: Instead of being a smartass actually state that in the first place.

ROFLMAO!

You definitely have to earn your stripes around here. I know all too well.

I still love you guys!

This is the ONLY corner of the internet where there are actually people who sort of think like me.

Even you Soup, Merry Christmas from Tennesee to North Carolina.

And a definite Merry Christmas to all on TWHL!

Steam is always causing problems to someone, somewhere.
No forum should be going all out because steam is broken again.

Posted 13 years ago2010-12-23 17:20:29 UTC Post #288171
Lemme clear up what happened in my mind:
Backstory: My computer got hooked to a new router, and whenever I restart it or turn it off or on, I play around with the power box to do it instantly, because it's quicker and easier. However, it resets the router as well and would mess up my mom's internet so I have to wait for the OK.
Story Here: I had problems with Steam and I came to TWHL for help. They helped me after a bit of confusion, it took a bit till I got the OK from my mom, and now we've all gone nuts.

Questions Here:

What?
You don't let your computer shut down? Ever? Wow, that thing's going to have a short life-span. And what do you mean by "play around?" Even turning off your computer at the plug shouldn't cause your router to reset as well. It really sounds like you have no idea what you're doing, and I think you should have a little patience and shut down/restart your PC properly before you do some real harm to your system.

Edit:
But wait, that makes no sense. Earlier, you said:
Q: Why not restart your computer?
A: Because whenever i do, it is connected to a power curciut which runs our router. My mother's playing LOTRO and will be a while, so I have to wait.
Surely a normal pc restart is faster and easier?

Keeping it on is fine. Turning it off repeatedly via the plug is not.
Archie ArchieGoodbye Moonmen
Posted 13 years ago2010-12-23 18:47:44 UTC Post #288176
Agreed. Definitely just had a 'wtf' moment there. NEVER just turn the computer off at the plug to reboot it.

Because the components in the PC are getting spiked. Spike: When you turn on your pc, the voltage isnt constant on the start, it starts as 2x the power in and normalises (happens very fast), but still harmful. And many more things.

Also keep PC in stand by.

my page is NOT dedicated to my apparent "hate"
But that's the thing, it IS hateful. For fucks sake, it's a full page long and if it's not about America, it's about some stupid fucking drama that ended a couple years ago. It emanates anger, resentment and hatred from every pore. The fact that you need to specify that you don't hate ALL Americans in there, (which if I recall was only added after I distributed the verbal ass-kicking of the century) instead of simply REMOVING THE OFFENDING BITS shows that you are not only going out of your way to be an asshole, but also that you fully recognize the fact that you are such through being defensive, passive aggressive and spiteful.
Im dont mean offence, in fact i would take this section about america out, but that would cause more of a fuss to the apparent "offended" ones)
WHAT!? WHY the FUCK would doing that offend me MORE??? Logic flaw much? Also, offended in quotes? Nice dramatic touch there Shakespeare.

Hatred disguised is nothing less, shit covered in flowers STILL FUCKING STINKS.
