Anybody having Steam issues recently?

On NTL, and Steam won't connect. All I want to do is finish off Half-Life 2: Episode One. :mad:

Dammit, thought I was either in Network or Games forum.

Could a (kind) Moderator shove this thread to the appropriate forum.

Steam's connecting ok here...

That's all I'm getting.

It was working fine until today. Nothing has changed, at all.

All I want to do is play a game which I have paid for. Nothing more, nothing less. :mad:

Great!

Any ideas as to how I can play my game with needing my Internet connection to be as fit as a butcher's dog?

Everything works fine here on NTL too.

basmic · 8 Jun 2006 at 11:42

Charming!

Now Steam's support pages are telling me "The login ID and password combination you provided is invalid." :mad:

Yes you can. :confused:

Just start it up when your not connected, and it will ask if you want to start in offline mode, say yes, then play Ep 1. :confused:

Ive never been connected to the internet when playing HL2/Ep 1.

Have you tried deleting the ClientRegistry.blob file in the Steam folder? Worth a shot

basmic · 8 Jun 2006 at 15:10

Connected now - not sure why now, but I'm not unloading Steam today.

Not having that particular problem, but in CS:S when I click on the 'Find Server' option the server box appears and then the game freezes with the sound looping in the background. I have to push the re-boot button to get out of it.

Steam has been up and down for different sets of people today. Just have to keep retrying until you can log on.
