Getting the game started is such a pain. Whether I am connected or not I have to wait more than 10 minutes for the Steam interface to verify my files. During this waste of time I have the delight of watching the % complete figure go backwards every now and then.

This CAN'T be normal can it? I doubt whether I will persevere with it if there isn't a solution.

Can anyone help?
 
There's something wrong there. I've only had my files validated twice: once when I first played HL2, and once when I first played CS:S. Check to see if anybody else has found a solution on the Steampowered forums, because I recall quite a few complaints about this.

EDIT: I'm not sure if this will help anything, but try this link. Maybe if you validate through this method, maybe it will finally recognize the validation.

If that fails, well, I have one more solution: use Steam to delete all of the HL2 data on your computer. You might have a bad cache and the validation is semi-catching it, but not all the way.
