Steam being STUPID

Post by sarah »

so its a long weekend. what's the first thing that crosses my mind?
THREE WHOLE DAYS OF UNINTERRUPTED GAMING! :nana:

that is until i booted up steam and was royally cockblocked but the updater. It seems to be stuck! it reads:
'steam-updating -0% complete
Updating steam platform...'

but the bars not moving and it doesn't appear to be doing anything. so i backed up those files and chucked them on the other partitioned drive, then un-installed and reinstalled and its still doing it.

now im just getting pissed off cause i could be smashing cunts up in cod :<

help?! :cry:

so i realise im taking to myself...
but incase anyone has these issues:

I still couldnt log in after it updated. it just took forever then timed out and gave me the standard 'check your interwebs or visit our website.'

what i ended up doing is deleting the clientregistry.blob file and restarted steam. worked a treat!

Cheers to my buddy for sorting me out.

Yeah, I've never had any problems with Steam but I always see the "delete clientregistry.blob" solution crop up, so it's always worth a try!

Steam can be like that sometimes.I've had many issues with it, but lately it's been running fine for me.I made a thread about not that long ago ( it's the one with bad spelling errors in the heading).Glad you've sorted it all out.

I don't understand why Steam and PSN haven't copied Xbox LIVE entirely. Superior online service is superior.

I completely agree with Cletus. Let us all take a moment and be thankful for just how good a service Microsoft provides us with Xbox Live. Now eat this piece of bread. Amen.

I'd actually use Steam if it were Xbox LIVE good. But it isn't.

Xbl with steam pricing would be dandy.
