Steam Issue - Can't open Store game pages

Windle · 15 Jul 2011 at 17:29

I can see the store fine but if I click on a game the loading symbol goes round and round at the top right and then it gives me a white page with an error.

Anybody getting/had this issue? Bit annoying! Although it'll probably save me pennies at the moment since I can't buy games.

Error page is:

Error 503 Service Unavailable

Service Unavailable

Does it do it for all games or just certain ones?

Every single one, looking on steam forums seems quite a few folk have the same problem just today.

It's been quite slow for me so far today. They're probably just spring cleaning servers somewhere.

Yeah it's been slow for me but I can still load up the store page after a few attempts.

Don't worry, you can still buy games by going to the Steam page on the internet and logging in

steampowered.com won't let me into them either :/

nope it doesn't work for me either

i guess they are doing something to the servers

The steam servers have just been updated to give users higher download speeds, and cause less throttling over high usage times, see here:
