Thanks Steam, Windows…
I really wanted to play Left For Dead 2 last night. So coming home I fire up the PC, let Steam do some updating and then, bam!, a blue screen. Not uncommon, so I restart and then try to restart Steam. Then the problems begin…
Steam will not compete its update because the downloaded file is missing. Downloading the latest version from the website fails to repair the existing install so the only option is to uninstall Steam before reloading it.
Now when I uninstall Steam I will obviously be asked if I want to retain my downloaded data files or not. So one uninstall later I am 150Gb lighter in the hard drive but I can install the new version of Steam.
If the games saved their data to my User directory I might even have retained my save games.
Thanks Steam! Thanks Windows!
Now to start downloading those games again…
