Hmmm...anyone having trouble connecting to Steam? I haven't been able to login for a bit.

 

[Arakhor]

I've got no connection at the moment either, but I haven't played a Steam game all year so far.

 

[Lemon Merchant]

I haven't tried. Just a sec...

EDIT: I can log in just fine.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Steam is offline for me, I can't get onto friends list.

 

[Birdjaguar]

I'm still getting "cannot connect to the steam network" error.

It looks down to me.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Steam.com won't respond either.

Thanks Obama....

 

[Synobun]

When in doubt, look at Steam Status.

OK, what makes you so special?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I briefly got onto the Steam friends (long enough to see the messages sent to me) but then it boot me again.

Steam is down for routine maintenance every Tuesday.

there.

Steam decided to steal focus from my fullscreen game of 3K to tell me that the friends network is down. Very useful waste of my time, thanks Steam.

Nice! is there a way to know through which portal I play?

 

[Birdjaguar]

@cardgame @Synsensa I still cannot connect even though the staus would say I should be able to., I think. What do the two right columns tell us? What is CM vs Go?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

GO is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

 

[cardgame]

I don't know what to tell you, I didn't lose Steam proper connection, only the friends list, which is back now as soon as I hit 'retry connection'.

I love programs that steal focus!

The whole US looks off line now. Oh well. Strange I've never had this happen before and I've used steam for a decade at least.

Now I'm worried. I got a new PC yesterday and have been having it go non-stop installing all my games. If Steam is down then nothing is installing right now...

 

[Arakhor]

All your games? It takes long enough "just" to install my top 20 or 30 games.
