the connection to steam VAC servers could not be made. For troubleshooting issues...

ahh, just starting last night I went to join ur server and I got this error:

"the connection to steam VAC servers could not be made. For troubleshooting issues click the link below."

I tried a bunch of things, logging in and out/ restarting/ system restore/ reinstalling steam

now after just reinstalling I get an error saying how its unable to find steam library.dll or something

any new ideas?

sucks, Jf.

ya. sorry to say it, but the easiest course of action is to uninstall, reboot, manually wipe those directories (usually *\program files(x86)\Valve or some such), and then install. make sure you don't restart while it's still in the middle of doing stuff, make sure you don't try to play while it's updating, and in fact the best practice is probably to leave it alone. Since CSS is like a 5 gig install, I just let mine go while I went to sleep one night

I dont do any of that stuff, the only time I shut the comp off while its running is when I freeze and cant do anything else anyway. nah its close to done installing its going a lot faster than the initial install cuz I only uninstalled steam so the only parts of css that have to install dont amount to much

edit* yea I see what ur talking about, yup the downloading is starting at 0% lol, so ill just leave it on all night and itll hopefully be done tommorrow, thanks for ur help tho, ill see if maybe its fixed when its done downloading

Don't worry about your rank, that stuff is by Steam_ID which will always be the same for you
