[hlds] OT: Is Valve aware of the client not attempting to decrypt pre-loads?
I know this more a forums issue but, so much noise on there its not worth the bother. Wondered if the guys at Valve where aware that steam more often than not isn't attempting to decrypt preloads. Instead it just tries to run the encrypted exe after unlock, which not surprisingly doesn't work. You just get a black dos box which disappears after a second. The fix is to delete clientregistry.blob but this should really be fixed as its happened to me now four times, once on each of my machines for both Borderlands and L4D2 demo and to three other people in the office,who joined to by the four pack for these games.
