it gives a huge list of stuff like that. what the hell is wrong its getting very annoying.

The list there has to do with the downloaded components from the Source server while you are logged on. Is this seen during single player or multiplayer mode? Are you on a Linksys router by chance? These errors can come from a problem the router has with UDP streaming.

 

[HELP_ME]

this happens during multiplayer mode, and yes i am on a linksys router.

Even the beta version of CS back in 2004 was having similar problems. There are two things that come to mind on that with a need to update the Linksys drivers and try rightclicking on CSS in the Play Games menu, choose Properties\Launch Options and in the box type in "+clientport 27006". Give these two a try to see if you get anywhere.

 

[HELP_ME]

how do i update my driver???

 

[PC eye]

That would be the firmware drivers or software for the Linksys router itself. You would have to either look over the support site for Linksys or contact their support staff. Certain types of routers seem to run into the same or similar problems running CS:Source. Other tips can probably found by going to Half Life 2 and a few other gaming sites for troubleshooting tips there.

Basically it has more to do with a networking problem with receiving packets in non consecutive orders. CS and HL2 both run into this apparently. The information on this problem found so far is rather partial only to certain routers.

 

[HELP_ME]

it actually hasn't happened since i did the "+clientport 27006". so thanks for that im not sure if it will happen again but we'll see i guess.

It seems to be a characteristic with that and some other brand routers. Keep that one for reference anyways. I see HL2 and EP1 with similar problems at times just trying to get logged on. The time of day or night due to the volume of server traffic usually plays a role.
