Hey Death,

Read thru these, maybe one will help. It kind of bothers me that there seems to be several fixes for the same problem.

This is Steam's answer:
http://supportwiki.steampowered.com/wiki/Steam_Error:_Fatal_Error:_Failed_to_load_platform_modules

And another post on the Steam Forums

If that doesn't work, I also found this:
In Windows Explorer, navigate to your Steam folder and find ClientRegistry.blob and either rename it or move it to a backup folder and load steam up and see if that works.

Last night we had aproblem getting back onto the server. I went to another server and all was fine. Went back to ARP server and ould not get back in. I suggested a restart of the server. Did that make a difference in getting back on the server??

We had found that two maps were not loading properly
415 Rennes_b6
415 Mort_b4
They have been removed from the map list, also the flashlight crash has gone away since the Beatle has reloaded the game on the server.
but However the flashlight doesn't work.
