Steam help! -

Hey guys, first and foremost i know this isn't the right subforum or anything to paste this - but i guess in order to get a decent reply this would be one of the more frequented places.
So yesterday, after the huge patch and tf2 went free . It became impossible for me to patch my tf2.
Whenever i go into steam it hangs(like a boss), and a little window comes up saying validating games(DoD, HL2DM, TF2) and it's tremendously slow and god knows if it'll finish.
I reinstalled steam, deleted clientregistry.blob, deleted everything except steamapps and steam.exe.
From what i see from the above fixes ^ , it might be something to do with my tf2 files, but imo there should be nothing wrong as i was playing it fine just before the patch, yet now whenever i tries to update it keeps hanging and validating every so often. Despite leaving it on for the night i've only updated 1%. This is really stupid and wearing me out - perhaps a sign to quit tf2? :o
Any ideas? Or if anyone has encountered this any fix :?: Any help is greatly appreciated.
<3

sounds like the game did not fully update, have had something like this b4 happen. maybe try reinstalling tf2 altogether or if you have it on a different computer, restore it form a backup.
edit: also I'm sure you would get a reply if you posted it in misc general chat.
