Game Content Conversion

[FatMongooseII]

So, I wanted to open CSS, but a window just popped-up titled, "Game Content Conversion"

The text in the pop-up box is as follows:

 

"Steam needs to convert the game content for 'Counter-Strike: Source' to a new, more efficient format. This will require an internet connection and a few minutes' time."

 

I pressed ok, then steam crashed. So I re-opened steam and tried again. It crashed that time too. I'm not sure if this happened to everyone, but can someone tell me how to make it stop crashing and/or get rid of the pop-up?

 

Thanks.

You can't get rid of it.

CS:S is moving from the steamapps/{username} folder to steamapps/common

To help you out, when doing the conversion, don't click ANYWHERE on steam

Just click "OK" and go do shit on your browser. Don't interact with Steam any way until it is finished converting

Before doing the conversion, I highly suggest you take all of the maps out of your cstrike/maps folder and move them to a backup folder (Don't leave them in the original folder)

After, move them into the new maps folder under steamapps/common.

This will cut down on the load greatly, and will make everything faster.
