Whenever i attempt to play FA with steam, i get this really odd.. bug. I can't see my 'friends' list, my 'steam' list, the steam site, the 'join a game' menu, the 'create a game' link, the "options" or the "firearms" part, at all. And if i try and connect from friends list outside of FA; all that happens is i can't see the connection screen move. However, if i re-install, FA works just fine. This doesn't happen in TS, CS, DoD, hostile Intent, Battle Grounds, Sven coop, or any other mod i've tried. I've been reduced to re-installing FA every time i play - and it's not cool at all.Oh, and also - right after i re-install, I can't go into the options and re-add my controls - i must do it outside the game, or my FA freezes up. Now, could someone PLEASE help?

First, try the STEAM help forums. I can usually locate and fix pretty much any problem from there.

I"ve looked for this, and i havn't been able to find anything. Perhaps i'm not looking for the right things or whatever; i just can't seem to find a solution anywhere

How about a complete system breakdown including driver versions.The more info the merrier.

Did you delete the client.blob file in your Steam folder and reupdat Steam?

hehe, I must have used that "delete the .blob" trick about a hundred times now...

Have you tried deleting Steam totally and downloading from a different source?

have you tried giving up?

Hayabusa slaps Bojangles with a big trout.Or maybe some other program or drivers are interfering with your game. What they could be is beyond my knowledge. Good luck dude. If all else fails, reformat. 8)

it does that to me in 1024 mode, but when i take it to 800x600, it works fine. try that?

Good idea Klif.That is why I think it maybe a driver issue or I bet Sven coop has something to do with it as well.Mac
