Ok, I've been battling this for 3 days. Ran spybot, malwarebytes, all windows updates, updated drivers, restarted router, and I'm running outta ideas. Other non-valve games run through steam like Unreal work, but valve games CSS, HL2 Deathmatch and TF2 get that error. It worked fine one day, and after changing absolutely nothing, booted up the next day and have been getting that error ever since. Please help.

Sad Felix. Mad Felix.

Close steam, try deleting clientregistry.blob in your steam folder. Then restart steam.

He tried that first, any ideas?

After some googling:
Try changing your download region.

I'll keep looking for more possible solutions.

Yep, found those and tried all of it over the past couple days. I ended up playing on my old pc (with a 6800 gt card and athlon xp 2000 chip in it) tonight, so it's not the account. Some people on the steam forums tried reinstalling the game and even windows without luck, but hopefully something will turn up soon.

As a last resort you can:

Quit Steam
Rename your steamapps folder to something like old_steamapps or whatever.
Launch Steam, and re-DL all the Valve games.
If they work, you can go ahead and reconnect all the other games to steam and delete the old_steamapps folder.

This worked for me on L4D2 when nothing else did, hope it helps you as well.
