[AE] 82694 · 07-08-2008, 01:13 AM

C:/programfiles/steam/clientregistry.blob

or use your computers search function

Jester · 07-08-2008, 01:13 AM

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob

[AE] 82694 · 07-08-2008, 01:14 AM

They did away with the valve in the newer installs.

Scuzzy · 07-10-2008, 11:15 AM

np, one is glad to be of service.

SiSCoS · 08-15-2008, 10:27 PM

alright, for some reason the deletion of the clientregistry.blob doesnt last too long before i get kicked by VAC Steam's dumbest invetion besides Steam itself. So what i do is delete the file restart my system and wait until i get steam to log back in and i can play. Then like after like an hour or so or when i play multiple times it comes back. Any help?

[AE] 82694 · 08-16-2008, 12:22 AM

Try this link if it doesn't work copy and past in your browser. There's some good info on what to do for steam crashes. steam://support/?Issues=*

If that doesn't work try verifying game integrity for sdk base. games/tools right click sdk base properties then verify game integrity.

SiSCoS · 08-16-2008, 03:27 AM

ok where can i find verifying game integrity?

Edit:

nm its under view

SiSCoS · 08-16-2008, 07:18 AM

Update:
None of that seemed to work so i reinstalled steam and pasted back my ff folder and it still has the same error coming up. Any more ideas?

[AE] 82694 · 08-16-2008, 07:57 AM

You did all this?

Possible Suggestions

If Steam continues to crash, try deleting all files and folders in the Steam directory except for steam.exe and the SteamApps folder

If you continue to have problems playing the games, try using the launch options -nosound and -windowed.

Open Steam, then Play games
Right click the Souce game, click properties, then Launch options
add -nosound -windowed, click ok, then close.

If you continue to have problems updating Steam, please exit from Steam, and then delete the following files from your Steam directory.

C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.dll
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamUI.dll
C:\Program Files\Steam\ClientRegistry.Blob

also add "brokenballs" to your friends list.

FYI, steam is made by valve, steam is a program, not a company. everyone screws that up for some reason

Circuitous · 08-16-2008, 11:53 PM

Steam is pretty much its own thing at this point.

greenday5494 · 08-17-2008, 12:40 AM

it's still by valve and valve owns and controls everything on it

Skanky Butterpuss · 08-17-2008, 06:51 AM

and youre still doing nothing to help siscos out, so gtfo this thread.

i admit to not knowing much about the registry, but is it possible that deleting all of your steam registry entries (after uninstalling) could maybe fix it? worth a shot if nothing else works...
