Hey guys, i"ve just installed steam on my windows 7 64 bit, as well as Cs:source. The installation processes went totally fine. However, when i start up cs:source, the game automatically closes itself. I've tried to reinstall the game several times, but gt the same results. I've even tried running in compatibility, and switched off UAC. And ideas guys? Thanks for the help!

:)

Hey all,

I just installed windows 7 today together with the famous CSS, I already tried lots of Fora For help but found nothing except for this. Twinraven has exactly the same problem as myself. But I couldn't find any solution to his problem. Any help ?

I installed CSS on Windows 7 last night, and had the problem of it freezing the whole computer once the map had loaded.

I tried a couple of things to fix it, and it works fine now. I was playing for a few hours last night with no crashes at all.

First thing I did was remove cl_resend 2 from my config. This can crash your computer if you set it to 1 or 2 (on Vista, I had no problems running at 2), so I removed the whole thing from the config.

I also disabled SLI, as possibly SLI is still a bit buggy in Windows 7. After changing the config and disabling SLI, the game ran fine.

I haven't turned UAC off, and running hl2.exe for CSS as admin didn't work either, and I'm not running hl2.exe as admin at the moment, and it runs fine. If I did run the game as admin, I also got the "The game is currently unavailable" error.

i have same problem that you had..
but its still not working help me..(

what to do about platform error failed to intalize? no steam version
