When I try to get into a DOD game, the screen comes up saying: 'validating game resources' then the meter moves a few bars, then stops.

I then get a message saying that I timed out and lost the server connection. The only game I can get to work is TFC. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Thanks!

try this

1)Close Steam
2)Go to C:\Program Files\Steam\config and delete two files
Masterservers.vdf and Serverbrowser.vdf
3)Open Steam and hit refresh once and let it complete it's update.
4)Close Steam

That should fix it !
