I just got HL2 and all of the single player stuff works fine, however when I try to play DM I get message that says "Paused" in the middle of the screen and everything just freezes in the middle of play.

This happens on about 90% of servers I try and it's getting really frustrating. I have a legit version of the game and I'm running high speed cable, Win XP Pro with plenty of system resources. Does anybody know how to fix this??
 
I have the same problem. What type of system do you have.
 
Win XP Pro, 512 Ram, P4, 2.2 ghz processor

Anyone able to help?
 
I've heard a few people with this problem. Not seen any solutions as yet.

If I ever see anything go wrong with mine I validate my game files and that can be done by typing steam://validate/220 and steam://validate/320 into your internet browser address bar. May not solve the problem but worth a try.

Also you may find assistance over at the Steampowered.com forums.
 
Radeon 9200se. the single player game works fine so i wouldn't think it's that. i'm thinking it may be network issues, but i've port-forwarded all the ports that steam's webpage says to and that didn't fix it
 
Didn't have steam running, nm. Thanks for the tip, I"ll see if it works
 
i have teh same issue but i also see other peeps in slomo and i can shoot and jump but no movement at alll
