      F*** you Valve. Are you to stupid to solve the problem with the shaderapidx9.dll file, or arent you interested. I liked your games till today. After 2 days in the inet without any useful help i decided to kill the game. And now the fonts are doing what they want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      This game is SHIT!!!!
