I downloaded the new version of steam.corrupt filesfiles with weird names of no sizeDont have the patience right now to reinstall everything. This crap is getting old... :roll:I felt like ak47 powning too...

I never have problems with Steam. :?

-Hayabusa]I never have problems with Steam. :?

Sounds like h4x to me.

stare at in menicingly, and, in a firm voice say "NO!". That usually works for me. Well, actually it doesn't so much with my computer as with my dog. Oh well....*waits for Mac to jump in and make everything good again

Wait it gets better..... e-mail validation is not working yet. So those of us who got hosed on the update and had to reinstall get hosed again when it finally starts to work.

Steam is working fine for me

Half-Life crashed three times in a row already, which resulted in two restarts, but it still didnt help me in receiving my quality FA time. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU STEAM PEOPLE!!! First rule of marketing - never issue a flawed product. Unless you're strong in customer support.

yes me too, i have one problem because steam update is bad lol.stupid steam :DWhiteTiger.

I'm pretty sure i know how to fix itbut that's not the point.btw, is it a steam problem or an FA steam problem?Dang, i can't use my awesome hacks now!-PUNISHER

I still can't get a verification e-mail sent to any of my accounts.... this is getting frustrating.

Its not working today, now it trys to download the updates. But it doesnt download anything, then its login screen appears, but when i type my password, its says everytime: Password or E-Mail wrong, but thats not possible. It makes no check.. AARRGGGG...

It worked ok for me the other day, after the upadate, now i'm getting a weird authentication error. Ah well, i'll see how it is later.

so i guess i'm not the only one with steam issues yet again.Mine is saying that either i don't have connection to internet which if i'm writing this i DO.Or it says my internet is configed wrong for steam and i don't understand that at all cuz after the update yesterday i was playing and it was fine.So if any of you smart people know what's wrong plz tell me thx.

i could play it fine yesterday but now i cant and i get the same message as k_town does which sux

here's what steam has to say-lol i guess we with the problems will have to wait it out.LATEST STEAM NEWSSteam StatusMarch 3, 2004, 8:09 pm · Erik Johnson Since this morning's update was released, the Steam network has been overloaded, causing many Steam users to be unable to login. Until the Steam content servers are able to catch up with demand, some users will continue to experience slowness or unresponsiveness from the Steam client. We've been making some changes to the content servers today to accelerate this recovery, and we expect conditions to improve quite a bit by tomorrow morning.Thanks, again, for your patience after this update.

that explains somethings....

Now i cant login, i hate it.. Why they wanna send someone to mars and are not able to solve the easiest problem in the world: to connect to a server and check login and passes ?? I hope the mars explorers not use anything like Steam ... Ha, i know why Nasa has lost connection, a while ago, to one of the mars robots: they couldnt connect: i think they used Steam.. HHHEHHEHEHEEH

how do i get it to give me validation code?!?!

Well here is the reason, at least its a good one.March 4, 2004, 3:12 pm · Greg CoomerThis morning at about 8:30 PST, Steam was hit by a distributed denial of service attack. For about two and a half hours, Steam and its games were unavailable to users. We have since fixed the problem, and player numbers have returned to a normal state.Steam's content servers are still busy with yesterday's update, but for the most part Steam users have been able to get up and running without problems.The new email validation feature has been causing some users confusion. Our network problems have caused the validation emails to be delivered too slowly -- if you are waiting to receive your automated email response from Steam, please give it some time. We're sorry if this is causing inconvenience; the delivery speed will be improved soon.Let us know if you're experiencing any other problems.

To make a long story short, they released yet another faulty version. Got to love it .

btw if you get a validation error when trying to join a game: do a exit and logout from steam then login again it worked for me. Now if it wouldn't give me 1200-1500 ping spikes i would be happy. But like i said before got to love it .
