DoZeR Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I had the same problem, but its all sorted out now, i just let it download and its working fine for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD_ORION Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I just keep getting "Could not connect to the steam network" which is of course a lie since I already did the update part.I'm betting the problem is that the steam servers are overloaded because of a flux of updaters.

Enders Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 yeahmy was stuck at just Steam - Updating, but then I canceled it and tried it again right away and now it's dling1%....3%...6%....8%.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD_ORION Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Hmm, apparently the update wasn't complete. After trying a few dozen times to connect steam, it started downloading the plaform files. Where it promptly disconnected me and is now causing all sorts of steam related access errors everytime I launch steam or retsart windows. It really sucks when you have the platinum pack and steam fails like this.Yay for steam! GrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrI'm not in the mood to even try and fix it right now.... good thing I can't get in the steampowered.com forums... I might post somthing unpleasant.

Arnie Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I give it up for today. I kill the task, it started again, download, download, download and then the message: server is temporarily not available, try again later.. i hate it... I go to bed now and try it tomorrow. When it doesnt work tomorrow: AAAAARRRGGGHHHH... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORD_ORION Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 That is exactly what happened to me.... eventually I got thorugh and it started to download the platform files.... pray it doesn't disconnect you during that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
