Its either Gamespy, Civ5 itself or something else on your computer causing the problem, Steam has nothing to do with the mods.

All, sorry for the lack of updates, but I was at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival all weekend, then had to catch up on stuff at work and home yesterday and today. Hope to get some replies started tomorrow.

EDIT: Since this got moved, maybe the above picture should go in the OP?
Check your options menu people, its the first thing I do whenever I start a new game (or program), and it has never been anything but a HUGE help

Not that I am aware of. However, you can skin it. This links to a lot of well known interface skins.Is there anyway to set a homepage in the overlay interface web browser? (for CFC of course
The situation you describe should not be possible. Source
Got in a couple of quickies, will try and get to a couple more later tonight. Now, I'm off to dinner for my birthday.
any suggestions for steams inability to update and connect...Just bought game so i don't have the option to play in offline as sooo many "helpful" people have suggested. I would just like a phone number of the ceo for steam so that I could at least have the satisfaction of asking the fine fellow if he actually thinks this is "good" for business. I have bought a game fair and square...but i can't play it because...there may be a problem with my internet connection?? what crap!! How about because thier servers are unabe to keep up with demand from people who have paid for thier game. THis is exactly the reason I have not bought steam games for the last three years...I see things have not improved...any suggestions friend?
When i logged early today i was surprised i couldnt connect to steam but specially not amussed when i coudnt start a game in offline mode since i couldnt connect to steam to put myself in offline in the first place

The only time you have to be connected to Steam is when you first install/download the game. Otherwise, all you have to do is click on the game, and even if you don't have an internet connection, Steam will recognize this and ask if you want to play in offline mode, then you should be able to play.
Yeah there is.... load Steam, goto Settings->Interface and click on the button at the bottom ("Notify me (with Steam instant messages) about additions or changes to my games, new releases and upcoming releases").

Well there isn't a CEO of Steam (afaik), but you can contact the CEO of VALVe (the makers of Steam) by this e-mail:

IF you get a reply, please do screenshot both e-mails and post them back here
I'm a volunteer mod at the official steam forum and a huge Civ fan. (sounds a bit confessional) And... apparently, a glutton for punishment, or so we'll find out in this thread.
That said, please post any questions you have regarding Steam. I'll add them into the OP and give links to the Steam page as need be.
My goal is to be helpful in terms of giving factual information about Steam to dispel misperceptions and hopefully help you have a good experience w/ Civ5 on Steam.
Rules:
1. If you want an answer post in a civil and reasonable manner.
2. Its OK to be critical so long as you follow rule #1.
3. Any uncivil or inappropriate questions will be directed to the mod staff for removal and/or appropriate disposition.
4. No questions about things that are business decisions on the part of 2K or Valve. For example, pricing, release date, etc... these don't have anything to do w/ how steam works and are beyond what I can answer.
5. No questions on other games, IE "WTF is what that TF2 update?"
Notes:
1. I work F/T, have kids, etc... so if it takes me a couple days for an answer or two, please be patient.
2. As I said, I'm a VOLUNTEER mod. I'm not paid by Valve nor do I speak in any official capacity for them.

How do I get a refund of civ 5?
Depends on where you live.
But no matter where you live, we will not allow any discussions about it here.

You can't. I'm sorry but the big publishers (of which 2K is amongst) do NOT like the used games market. It is against the ToS of Steam and the End User License Agreemnt for Civ5 or probably any game to sell your account/license (you do not own software, you own a license to use it, and yes this was held up by a US court recently) too.

Can you give me a link to that recent US court decision, I'd be interested to read the Judges ruling.

Can someone from Steam please contact me? I pre-ordered Civ 5 on September 17 and I still haven't received it and now the Steam webpage doesn't recognize my password or secret question answer. I called the phone number on my bill but no one has called me back.
