I'm tellin' ya Chief that Steam has been really pissing me off lately. I get the same "carp" too. It sits there and tells me it is preparing to play . . . preparing . . . preparing . . . 10 mins later . . . preparing.

Then I cancel it and try again and then it says "This game is not available right now try again later" or words to that effect.

Then I say #Cussing out or words to the effect that suggest whoever concocted this system might have been born without the benefit of wedlock.

I would leave that intact just incase you have to reinstall steamed which in your case removing it would require you to download the entire game plus mods Not wise !
