I have spent 6hrs on this without even playing the game. And each time I want to play I have to log into Steam?! Now I can't play it without it trying to update the friggin game, even if the status for the game shows Update Stopping.

I stop the download process in Steam and tell it to never automatically update my games.15 minutes later it shows 'Updating game.'.I click on L4D2 and it says 'Preparing to launch game.'.After installation, Steam loads itself up.I think to myself that this is it, finally I will get to kill some zombies. 20 minutes later, after Steam doesn't respond twice, I am eventually able to log in.I do not have one so I create an account. 1 hour later it asks for Steam account details.Steam cannot continue setup because of no internet connection.Fair enough, it requires Steam for activation I thought. I insert the game and Steam starts installing.I knew that L4D2 required online activation, and so did Crysis which I activated without any problems, so I thought L4D2 would also be fairly quick and easy. Now I don't have a internet connection at home so I use my cellphone to go online at Egde or GPRS speeds. I purchased L4D2 last week and wanted to play it on Friday.
