Strange Steam Stuff


Maximius

Recommended Posts

Ok, Im a Team Fortress Classic veteran, and I recently dl'ed Steam in order to play. So for about a week I was getting this strange error message, actually a warning which said that Steam was attempting to operate a "virtual address" or some such thing out of my registry. I know it was the registry cause it said its doing whatever it is doing at registry address XXXXXXXX. What the fuck is Steam doing to my shit? I wish I had the note I wrote with the complete message but its at home.

does this help?

    steam.exe (main exception): Win32 StructuredException at 0163048B: Attempt to write to virtual address 2439276314 without appropriate access rights.

 

 

    STEAM.EXE - APPLICATION ERROR

    The instruction at "0x1000ecd" referenced memory at "0x016470c0." The memory could not be "read."

 

The solution is simple - simply browse to your Steam folder (usually c:\program files\steam) and delete the file "ClientRegistry.blob". Restart Steam and it should work fine.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
