April 12, 200422 yr whats the quick fix for when u get the:cant validate steam ticket error blah blah blah thing?I know its here somewhere but i cant find it?
April 12, 200422 yr either delete clientregistry.blob then reupdate OR (try this first)log out of steam, exit steam, reopen steam, log in
April 12, 200422 yr i just started getting that today too."You have been disconnected from the server.Reason: Error verifying STEAM UserID Ticket(server was unable to contact the authentication server, 27)."
April 12, 200422 yr IMPORTANT! :: Sollutions to the "Ticket" & Login problems Well, I saw the complaints and experienced it for my self. I am going to try my best to list out possible solutions to help fix this problem. If you cannot enter a game because you got somthing about Invalid Ticket: First, exit Steam, and open it again to make sure you have the latest update. Once you do that, logout of your account: Right Click Steam-->Settings-->Logout Once you do that, you might get some popup error, don't worry, click ok. Try opening Steam and logging back in now. If you cannot get login because you get a message about network problems or some sort, go to the next step. If you can login, try joining a game and if you can do it, great your fixed, if you can't, go to the next step. If you cannot log into the Steam network: First, make sure Steam is closed and not running. Now go into your Steam folder. By Default: C:\Program Files\Steam Now find the file ClientRegistry.blob and delete it. Right Click it-->Delete Now open Steam again, and it should Update Platform. Once that is done, login to your account and it should work, and you should also be able to join games again without getting the ticket error. If you still have problems, post here and I will try to look into them. I hope this helps guys! Report this post to a moderator Old post from Mac, all that you need is in the FIREARM Topic... Egidio.
April 12, 200422 yr clientregistry.blob is in your steam folder in either of these 2 locations:c:\program files\steamc:\valve\steamcounting on how you installed steam. also put your drive letter where you installed the application where i typed c:\ .
April 12, 200422 yr OK.I DELETED the ClientRegistry.blob.I LOGGED OUT and BACK IN to Steam TWICE.And I STILL get this error message while trying to connect."You have been disconnected from the server. Reason: Error verifying STEAM UserID Ticket(server was unable to contact the authentication server, 27)."
April 12, 200422 yr Author That's the exact error I'm getting. Hmm, guess it's time to start backing up my custom stuff so I can reinstall.

April 12, 200422 yr OK. I DELETED the ClientRegistry.blob. I LOGGED OUT and BACK IN to Steam TWICE. And I STILL get this error message while trying to connect. "You have been disconnected from the server. Reason: Error verifying STEAM UserID Ticket(server was unable to contact the authentication server, 27)." Sometime you do to retry most than 3 or 4 times when Steam update is unavailable... Egidio.

April 12, 200422 yr Youre insanel. If you read the WHOLE message, not just the beggining you would know, that: "Cannot contact STEAM authentication server". Thats all it was. The AUTH was down, hence, no one could connect.Reinstalling STEAM..... :roll:
