'This seems like a help thread if any...

I am having a problem playing the game, when I try to launch the training I get this:

When I try to join a server it tells me I cannot connect to VAC.

I have reinstalled, rebbooted, and checked other games/mods to see if it is somthing wrong with my acount. All other games/mods worked fine. What is going wrong?

Wrong is that people dont use the search button. Even without it if you look at the forum topics u would see a section called technical support and on the top a thread named Failed processing message svc_ServerInfo/Authentication Library/Sending Client Info. All you need is probably there.

My most sincere apologies, and my thanks.

Probably a stupid question, can this game be played with a controller? I'm not that used to mouse and keyboard

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it at all. Without an external program like Xpadder you're look sensitivity is set to one speed, and even with an external program you will have to use the mouse for things like selecting classes and server browsing.
