Guess what my steam install has done?
Again! >:(
Steam is shit. >:(

Now.. I'm sensing a bit of anger here Bacchy?
directed at my dear friend. Steam.

 I'm wondering what is different about your computer and what it's doing compared to the millions of people with working steam.
I know you are not alone bro! But I'm thinking anti-virus or something along those lines. Or are you messing with root files, installing new programs, that have nothing to do with steam but may mess with the registry.

Think man. think... What has your computer done between the time steam worked till it didn't work?

I had issues with Steam 6 or so months ago where it wouldn't start.  I deleted and done a reinstall and has been working since.  I have a feeling it might be something to do with the updates and loosing a connection or canceling half way through.

hmmm
Not even powered off? surely it's gotta be antivirus or similar.
you have been surfing the net running other programs?
I know one thing for sure Bacchulum. it was not done by magic or fairies.

Let's just get the obvious out of the way... It's not already running in your system tray?
Or if you open task manager is there a 'steam.exe' there under the 'processes' tab? if there is end it.
Will steam work after rebooting the computer?

if you ever need to remove the local data, just move it elsewhere.   After the reinstall you can simply move it back and when you hit "install" on those programs, Steam picks it up automatically.

Awww, No Blackwood? These Cobras would be fun to stop late at the end of the long straight.


Blackwood is one of my favorite tracks. shame it's a fantasy track or it would be my all time favorite so far anyway. Plenty of room and places to over take.
wish they would fix the infield holes though.

Your wish is my command Dick :)
Season 2 race 1 will have Blackwood!
Will put up a suggestion thread for the other tracks for season 2.

Just did a couple of laps in the standard Cobra, good combo, looks like chance will get your reprise.

I'd recommend the Golf track.

The best mod tracks IMO are:

Gentrack
Golf
Castle Hill
Blackwood
Nordschleife


Others seem OK but just aren't quite there yet.

Ready for Thursday? Hmm I can try.

What did you have in mind? something to engrave in real life? I better keep it simple then..
