Hello John,

I perfectly know that! I wrote in beginning of my email that I am
aware of what I am doing, still worth trying.

JS As to getting access to a Valve answer by posting here; your
JS mileage may vary.  Personally, I doubt it.  But then again, Alfred might
JS surprise me here.
I hoped for that because on Steam forum exists thread with a lot of (
50) reports of this problem but no reply from Valve on how to fix that.

[hlcoders] steam issues

2006-06-06 Thread Vyacheslav Dzhura
Hello all,

  I perfectly know that this is programming forum, but I'll still post
  that here cos I already saw [and felt on myself] how Steam support
  works and maybe you guys (from Valve, or other) will read that and
  know the answer...

  1. I've installed Steam at work and only on my machine it doesn't
  launch at all! Just gives me 'exception can't load Steam.dll'
  without even displaying progress window or trying to connect
  anywhere! On other machines it first displays progress window, tries
  to connect and then gives that error. Steam forum has no answers
  regarding that, only questions from hundred of users.

  I [and everyone from work] go to Internet through our company's
  proxy, but it even doesn't try to connect on my machine. There is no
  ports issue

  2. You've made regional protection together with Buka company
  regarding CIS countries [some people here were joking why there were
  no writings on walls in game This is version for poor countries
  )))] and the question is:

  I always used only western Half-Life 2 activation keys, western
  Half-Life generations key. If I'll use Buka's activation key, will
  it work with my account? My Steam's language setting is English and
  I don't want make it russian because:
  1. this isn't my native language
  2. I don't need those russian game cache files.

  Hope for reply, please understing me right that I wrote here. Thanks

This isn't the valve hotline, it's a mailing list for mod programmers

Besides the risk of annoying a bunch of coders, you might also consider
(preferbly before posting) that we really can't help you here.  We're
working with the SDK; what Steam does or doesn't do is beyond our
control.  As to getting access to a Valve answer by posting here; your
mileage may vary.  Personally, I doubt it.  But then again, Alfred might
