here is someones fix for this from another forum.

sometimes, steam's cache gets corrupted (like your case) and needs to be fixed. all i can say is backup your binds and such and delete local game content. i also heard somewhere that if you delete the datacache.dll that Steam makes a new one , but i would NOT recomend that solution. all i can remember on that subject, i just deleted local content and reran it and it fixed everything by itself.
