Has Steam recently been going down for anyone else?

Omaeka · 28 Sep 2019 at 21:15

Title, it's down right now and seems to go down 2-3 times a week recently.

Its probably a ddos attack

Judging by that steamstat.us website, Steam seems to be down on a global scale. :eek:

Conscript · 28 Sep 2019 at 21:35

Went down for me about 10-15 mins ago. Thought it was just me at first.

Where's the option for offline mode gone?

Twinz · 28 Sep 2019 at 21:38

Down here too, really ****** me off too as this is the first time I've had yhr time to get a few rounds in on Insurgency: Sandstorm.

Unless I'm missing something, I can't seem to log in on just offline mode. I'm quite surprised by this and never thought my ability to play my games would be at the complete mercy of Steam being online.

I cant access Steam, Just clicked it and its saying unable to connect to steam network

Yarp, same here

Disco_P · 28 Sep 2019 at 21:51

Going through the history of https://twitter.com/SteamStatus it went down yesterday too, back within an hour. Other than that it's just the usual Tuesday maintenance.
Whether 2 instances is indicative of a problem - I don't know.

Found this on the net:

in order to start Steam in offline mode, you need to have previously connected your PC to the Internet and successfully logged in to Steam. The "Don't save account credentials on this computer" setting must have been turned off when you did so. If you haven't already done this then there's nothing you can do to start Steam without an Internet connection.

So if you want your Steam to be able to play in offline mode, you must not have your login stuff saved for easy login. So no offline mode or type in your full usename/password everytime you load your PC, it's quite a stupid catch 22 choice really and very outdated.

Steam is back up again, hopefully it will stay up as well.
