How Do I Get Steam to Update Past 28 Percent?
Steam is the official online matchmaking and content distribution service for many popular PC games such as "Counter-Strike," "Supreme Commander 2" and "Left 4 Dead." Any games downloaded or activated through Steam are updated automatically when new downloadable content and patches are released. The Steam program itself also receives updates, most of which fix commonly encountered errors or introduce new features. If your version of Steam freezes when it reaches 28 percent during an update, the most likely causes are interference with other programs or not having sufficient privileges to access important files.
