So, the house will be ready to move back into in about 10 days. So, I wanted to get insurgency reinstalled so that I can hop on with you guys right away. However, it won't install! I go to the steampage for downloading insurgency, and click the "Install Game" link. Nothing happens! I've even tried opening in a new window, and it says that this page cannot be displayed. Same with the "Official website" link. I found a download for Insurgency 2.1 that I have successfully installed; however, it does not automatically update on steam. So if anybody can find out why I can't download insurgency directly from steam, or how to update the 2.1 (via steam or outside of steam) to 2.5 I would be indebted to you.
 
Go to:

C:\Program Files\New Folder\steamapps

And look for:

insurgencybase.gcf
insurgencycontent.gcf

Delete them, and try installing again.

Reinstalling was unsuccessful. =\ I'mcurrently using the steampowered.com link to insurgency. After I'm prompted to verify that I have Steam installed, the window gets stuck loading. =\ I've been looking for a torrent or something to download 2.5 but no luck yet. Even the insmod.org site doesn't have a download, it just tells me to download it directly through steam. =\ This sucks, is anybody else unable to install fron the Steam link? If so I'll message them. But I think it's just me =\
 
I've had something similar happen to me before. I uninstalled and reinstalled HL and CS then was able to download INS. Not sure if it'll work in your situation but maybe worth a shot?
 
very strange yehh uninstalling and re installing one of the hl2 based games might work other wise i suggest contacting steam/ins support teams

Can you delete any and all INS folders found within your steam folders? try that then reinstall it? then verify game cache files?
 
Well I left a thread in the insmod.org forums. And, I'm not alone. Some others are having the same problem.
 
Thanks to smutpedd of the insmod.org forums this problem has been resolved. It is a steam issue, not an INS issue. If this happens to you, simply install the dedicated server for INS from the "Tools" tab and then INS will show up under the "My Games" tab as an uninstalled game. You can install insurgency from there. Simple and brilliant! :)
 
glade to hear that you got the problem solved. I need to remember this if it ever happens to me.
 
I'm glad! This is my first time playing insurgency since October! No more playing against CS:S bots and TF2 bots! :D
 
Yeah, I'm supposed to be back in the house on monday or tuesday and all of our stuff is supposed to arrive tuesday.
