Help Request Subject:
#1 - Source SDK - I need help getting it even working again, it looks like it starts to load (Preparing to launch...) and then just closes, nothing else. And when it does work, I get an error message when trying to access or create any map (Error is: "Failed to load the default scheme file. The map views may be missing some visual elements"), and crashes right after. No bloody clue what's up with it. And just FYI, I am not going to do a total reinstall of it or source games, I have A LOT of work that I can't back up anymore or move, and I am not going to lose them.
#2 - GCFSCAPE - No idea what's up, but whenever I try to extract anything, pops up with this error, even with steam off: Error writing REDACTED (Error: Unexpected end of GCF stream (0 B of 39192 B). Has the GCF file been completely acquired?)
#3 - Steam - When I try to play Source games (any below L4D's engine), I get the error message: SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x0012EF64) failed with error 1: The registry is in use by another process, timeout expired . And I have no clue what to do, done quite a lot to try and stop it from doing it, nothing I've tried works - well, it works once every time steam is restarted, then continues to fail. I don't know if there actually is another registry in use, and I'd rather not mess around with the registry.
Importance level(low,medium,high): High, I need to get this sorted, was making a lot of things.
Steam related?: Yes
