TF2 won't update! >.<
So there's a new update for TF2 today. It says update required so I go and press play thinking it would update from there. I press play and it doesn't update! It just goes on and on about preparing to launch TF2 but nothing loads. After a while of waiting it comes up with a message saying " An error occurred while updating Team Fortress 2 (connection time out)" I tried to pause and resume update but doesn't work. I've tried restarting Steam, reinstalling Steam, restarting my computer and searched for solutions to past problems similar to mine but nothing works. Anyone experiencing the same thing or is it just me? It's really pissing me off! Please help! ><
[Edit]Just for anyone else who are experiencing this problem try out changing the download region Argentina.

If you havn't already done so, in the steam client, right click on the game in your library list, select properties from the dropdown list, then in the Local Files tab select Verify integrity of game cache.

Then I suggest that you try going to the Steam->settings->Download tab and switching to a different download region to see if it is the files/download from a specific server that is the problem.

How about re-install everything and change to default mode?

Reinstalling takes me about 8 hours I don't feel like waiting, since I have nothing else to do.

Always restart steam, and verify game cache. Failing that reinstall.
