<div class="IPBDescription">b/c you people are smart <8</div> When I close an NS game and then try to open ns again in steam it always says, "Sorry this game is currently unavailable."

Even if I completely log out of steam and restart it. The only way I can play NS again is if restart my PC,


Likewise if I then try to play a different game, like cs or DoD ill click on the Dod icon and the game will say its prepairing to play the game and then.... nothing.

If I click on the ico nagain it says error can only launch on instance of the game at a time.

Even though its not even running, anywhere, not eve nin my applications list when I ctrl alt del

<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
So does anyone know if this is my PC being stupid or is it half life/ns/steam issue?

Thanks!

    Press Ctrl, Alt, Delete and look under <b>processes</b> for "hl.exe". If it's still running after you close Half Life, kill it.

    Delete:
    ClientRegistry.blob file in the main Steam folder.
    and...
    Platform.gcf file from the Steam/SteamApps folder.

    Once you restart Steam (you must have Steam off for the deletion to work properly) it will automatically redownload both.

    It fixed my exiting bug in NS where whenever I quit it froze NS and made me have to reboot my compy.
