Steam different PC code problems!

borley · 8 Jun 2013 at 16:48

Hi, don't know whether you can help, but i done a new build for my cousin so while hes here and i have faster net we though we would install his steam games.
Well the code hasn't been sent to him an hour later!
I tried as well as i haven't installed steam since i done a reinstall on my pc.
Agiain it took nearly an hour and when i did get it i entered it but it sai dthe code was to old!
So pressed next to get another one and to my surprise it came through realy quickly but when i entered it, it also said it was to old.
Can anyone help, and yes we tried spam folders etc
Thanks in advance.

You're on about login codes? Those 5 letter things, i just keep asking for new codes whenever they take a while to come through for me. Try and login using the Steam website that sometimes helps flush out old/bad codes

Come through instantly with Gmail. Who's your email provider?

I use Hotmail

Check your spam folder and as said just keep requesting a code until you get one.

They come through instantly for me on the three Steam accounts I manage.

might be that the email address used isn't right maybe because you should get the the code very quickly unless ur on a private email server and its not working right

It's been a bugger today. Took 4-5 hours to get the Steam Guard code on Gmail.

Never had a steamguard code take longer than a couple of seconds using my own personal email address

I'm going to say this is a problem with hotmail and not steam

Is it? Well I don't use hotmail and my cousin had the same issue at the same time also not hotmail.

Also I never had the problem until yesterday ,I had always got the email in seconds many times so it could still happen to you!
