It crashed because it wants you to play 2142 . But kidding aside did you load the latest Vista compatibility update that was released a couple of weeks ago?

I think this is it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932246

if I remember correctly you just loaded Vista recently, right?

Yes I did, Is this not a normal update for Vista?

Hmmm it said this update is not for your version of windows.

Ruuhhhhh? i am slightly Vista ignorant as I don't have a box at home running it but I think I found something.

The link I gave you was for a march update, here is a link to the August 10th Compatibility update http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929427/en-us.

Also here is an excerpt from HardOCP about the Visata performance update [b](KB938979)[b]:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Windows Vista Performance Updates
Those two Windows Vista performance updates that leaked onto the internet last week are now available for download from the Microsoft Download Center. I’m going to grab it now, I’ll let you know how it goes. Report your experience with this update, good or bad, in the forums.

This is a performance update. Install this update to improve the performance of Windows Vista in certain scenarios. Additional information about this update can be found in KB Article 938979. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

Same thing.
Wonder what the heck it is doing.

Hmm I can get on other servers, but ours.

Is there something running our server that doesn't allow me to join?
I can play on other servers but not ours.

Uggg - Not sure, we don't have anything special installed - we can't since it's ranked.

Are you still getting that same error - what about the EA forums?

Yes the same error, I looked in the Steam forums. Nothing.
it is really weird, I know I play 2142 a lot but I wanted to play CSS a little every once in a while.
I had played in the past after playing HL2.
