Problem installing GTR Evolution

[Andreas Demetriades]

Im installing GTR Evolution, directX works then it tries to connect to Steam. Steam is downloaded on but when i click on it nearly immediately it says "cannot connect to steam network, try again later". Why is this? It tries to update Steam but it doesn't work. I can't play GTR Evolution unless this is updated i think.

try to delete the 2 .blob files in your Steam folder that cures 99.99% of the steam problems
