I am also experiencing this problem, but seems to be only for CS:Source. I also tried to Validate the CS:Source files and that did not help; several times I validate and it just goes back to 97% and downloads something again...I assume it's de_chateau because I could not play that map, but this did not stop me from playing it a few days ago when I validated and it did the same thing.
