Is Steam busy now?

[Frank]

I can't log in on Steam now and when I try to it uses 100% of the CPU, which isn't normal!?
My friend can't create his user neither?
What the hell is wrong with this piece of shit... it worked perfectly earlier this day, but now - nothing!

 

[sKuNx]

Yes, this sucks, I just logged off automatically. Gotta wait till tomorrow I guess.

 

[Tinneth]

I also have this problem. I type in my password and click login and it just sits there...doing nothing. Anyone know how to solve it? Steam is the biggest piece of crap ever. I absoloutely hate it.

 

[Reen]

Ive had the damn game for five hours now and still not seen a friggen thing wtfs going on !!!!!!

 

[ArKTisK]

same here. if valve continues to use this steam crap ill never get another valve game again. you shouldnt have to jump threw hoops to play a game that you PAYED for.

**** this, im going to play halo 2.

 

[NateDogX]

I've got the same problem, really sucks, so freakin stupid.

 

[CR0M]

Many, many people are having the same problem. I'm amazed I even managed to get in there earlier and authenticate. Fat lotta good that did tho as I can't play it any more than you can now anyway...

Yes, you're absolutely right about it being a piece of shit.

 

[ArKTisK]

i can only hope a no steam crack comes out. normally i dont condone that kinda thing, but after this bullshit i think its deserverd.

 

[Ha12b1ng3r]

I say we go get ourselves some crowbars and take those men in suits at valve down a peg! Stick it to the man huh?

...that or b*tch and whine untill we can get some of the goodness that is HL2.

 

[Reen]

Its great when a security device used to, i presume stop copies being played, stops you from playing you own original damn game. Thats a bit too damn secure for me. This is stupid, unproffessional and just plain wrong.

 

[NateDogX]

If they were better prrepared for the flow of gamers trying to play then there would be no problem, I think Steam is a great idea just improperly executed.

 

[Shadow-warrior]

Can't login in, so I think ok I'll play offline seeing as I authenticated HL2 earlier. BUT NO, now because I can't login, it won't save my password on my machine and tells me I can't play at all until I login in again online!

ERRRR....

 

[ArKTisK]

how do youy play without steam? i authenticated it on my dads laptop, but it has the dreaded shader bug that is commen in the 9600 mobility , and im trying to play it on my own computer, so i drug the steam folder to my harddrive over the network. is there a way to run hl2 without steam running?

[grahamfsw]

This is bullshit. I thought Microsoft activation was bad, but this is just awful. Thanks for screwing your loyal customers, Valve.

 

[azz0r]

I believe its to stop warezers right now.

 

[Victorious]

[Victorious]

"Failed to find MasterAuth Server"
"Connection refused"

wow i bought the game NOW so i could play it NOW .... WTF>!&^$!($&*)$_$!+$!

 

[DigitalAssassin]

It took me an HOUR to create a steam account. I'm extremely frustrated, and against my better judgement sent a message to Mr. Newell asking him to 'make the call' (activating 7gbits more bandwidth).

HL2.net is extremely busy, too.

 

[toksic]

I just wanna play sp......wtf. Cant register with Steam. It took 1 ****ing hour just to create a Steam account, and now it is hung at the cd key window.....AARGGG frustration. This whole thing is BUNK.
HL2.net is clagged tooo.. ARRRGGGG

 

[Frank]

My friend couldn't even register...
