    Ok so i just installed the game and updated it to 2.22, however, when i launch the mod it makes it to the loading screen and then sits there forever.

    Is this a common problem, i searched these forums but didn't see anything regarding my problem.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    First thing that comes to my mind is a firewall blocking access.
    Can you play other HL2 mods without problems?

    I had a problem where all source games would get stuck joining a server, I had to turn of Universal Plug and Play(UPnP) in my router to get everything working.

    yes I can play other mods fine and I don't believe that i need that download that was suggested as i have C++ 2005 on my computer and as such should have those components

    On a side note i tried making the game run last night as i slept and it finally did. But it must have taken well over 3 hours to do so. Is this supposed to happen because this is such a arge game?

    I don't care what you think. Install it and say if it helped. I'd rather try VS2008 C++ redist instead of 2005 but who knows.
