Steam servers are too busy

[mazman34340]

First, my troubles began with pre-loading.
I would try to pre-load but the bar would stay 0 and it would say the servers are too busy, try again in a few hours.

I attempted it many more times including 12:00 at night but still displayed the same message.

Then, on the launch day, I clicked the game again. It said, download starting.

I click on it and it starts to 'validate files'. Before it could start, another message pops up 'Steam servers are too busy at the moment, try again in a few minutes'. I tried this again multiple times but each time it wouldl display the same message.

My freind suggested I delete my beta files and free-weekend files. I even emptied the recycling. It would display the same message.

I had restarted steam and the computer several times by this moment.

I finally decided to delete local content and try again. It still says 'update starting'. I am starting to get ****ed off. Please help me.

Edit : also I tried inserting the 'code' that you put in the internet address bar. Those failed too.

-----------------------------
Nevermind, I followed the directions of this link and it seemed to work. Delete those files!

Keep this up so other people can see this but now I have to re-load the damned game so... see you on the battlefield tommorow.

I am having the same problem with validating files and what not. And from what I can tell a lot of other people are having the same problem. I hope it gets fixed soon!
