Why-oh-why-oh-why... I am surprised that the download does not continue from where it stopped. I got to 20% *dropped* got to 10% *dropped* and so forth
Typically, Steam worked okay for me (not better or worse than WON, really), but this is laughable. Or frustrating. Depends.
Pinky and the Brain does indeed rock. Zort. La la la.
If it doesn´t work soon I´m gonna kill myself <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
1. I got home and thought "ah, finally home! Let´s play some ns!" 2. I got that steam was down but I didn´t really care cause it was suppose to be online soon. 3. I started to update steam and waited for 2h 4. Its now late and I have to go to bed without 1 fkin minute of ns.
All my friens got it to work in 10 or less minutes ffs...... /me cries <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Cmon guys, any update is bumpy... At the very worst, you might have to go without NS for DAYS!!!! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
So what.
If anything, a little break will be good. Maybe make you appreciate the game instead of complaining that it's down for a small amount of time. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

"Error, could not validate CD-key. Steam network down, and no one is allowed to use their software until Valve sees fit."
My update is finally done...didn't take too long...now it won't launch...keeps telling me that the servers are unavailable and to go to www.steampowered.com, which is down....
my errors the worst, /me crys ..... <a href='http://www.idontbelieve.co.uk/matt/steam.JPG' target='_blank'>Error image</a> its downloaded the update and all. but it just crashes every time. gg steam
To anyone with problems: Why not just reinstall when you get a game-stopping error? And if you still get it then, reinstall windows. It's not difficult. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Mine updates and goes into the login screen. Then it won't except my password. I keep it blank and then it begins logging in but it doesn't really do anything. :o
EDIT: And everytime I quit out of steam and restart it redownloads the update. I don't think it is even downloading or updating.
Don't ya just LOVE how Valve procrastinates? This better be one heckuva update. It's 3:30 in the afternoon here, and the network AND website are both down. I'm quickly spiraling into insanity. I think I'll microwave my head to pass the time.

It won't even fully download the update for me -.-
Got to 30% then said 'temporary unavailable, try again later' type of message.
I hate steam. They can't even handle updating their own software, they should have realized the taffic load this would cause, and be prepared to handle it. -.-'
Not only that, but they should fully test for any errors before releasing, I'm not sure steam is beta anymore... I could be wrong though.

Valve will probably come up with some lame excuse to cover up there stupidity.
