I had that happen once. I just deleted everything in the Steam folder except steam.exe and the steamapps folder and had Steam re-download it. That worked for me (though I had to re-add my favorites and stuff).

Yay!

Now fix my DoDS...why does it crash on map changes and it's a completely brand new spankingly clean install....
:D

did you download all the content again from Valve Mr. Dog or did you just back it up?


My crazy thoughts would be to do a separate install of steam in something like c:\test and then let it create all the rest of the stuff below that. Only install DOD:S, dont copy anything over from your existing install and see if that makes any difference what so ever.

If it keeps borking I would start looking at windows even though I have no idea why DODS would bork and TF2 and everything else works just fine....

Completely deleted the DoDS folder and let it reinstall from scratch....took it a while too!
It's a virgin install.....


Funny thing is it all started happening after I installed TF2...

Sometimes after I quit tf2 it disapears from the mygames menu on steam. simplefix: quit and restart steam.
