    That is what's going on with my steam ^^

    I'm not worried if it's just because of the network usage and all that, I can wait <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    But could someone tell me if this error is because something got corrupted on my system?

    the update brings problems with its solutions, like every other update..... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Here's a HUGE fix I found on the tech support forums... If you are receiving the "Error validating Steam ID" error, then you need to re-validate your email address.

    This can be done by opening up the Settings window in Steam and clicking on Verify Email Address!

    Happy Fragging (hopefully),

    Only one problem with that: in about 10 attempts, I haven't gotten an email.

    Steam Status
    March 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.

    if any of you get the SteamUserticket error, just log out and back in again. Solves it every time.

    If you are unlucky enough to get:
    Steam.exe (main exception): Win32 StructureException at 01680447 : Attempt to write to virtuial address 343116817 without appropiate access wrights.

    like me, reinstall from scratch.

    Just been looking at the Steam site Status page, when I came across the Bandwidth chart from last nights Update.

    The Steam Bandwidth was getting smashed to bits last night:
  • LastLast Join Date: 2003-10-06 Member: 21463Members
    steam had a short maintenance period right before the update. that explains the stolen bandwidth

    HA HA HA norn thats pretty good, Stolezred. I was getting hammered last night trying to play it was too laggy for me to even try. So I just gave up and went to bed.

    If this happens now with the current halflife engine and mods what about when hl2 is released and people buy it through steam. whoaa that will be some fun weeks of gaming there <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    My question is, how many people are having this problem? I gave up on steam last night, came on this morning and its still not working..Stupid rollout bugs <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> Truth is, a properly planned rollout should have redundency checks and everything if they plan on having a successful rollout. They shouldn't have made the download available to all users at once or something like that, as to not overload the network. I dunno, i just want my steam to work; I'm sick, bored, and off work for a weak and i have nothing to do <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I was working fine last night. I'm just not getting any kind of connection now. If you are getting any actual errors other than cannot connect more than likely you need to reinstall steam.
  • TyrMaxivTyrMaxiv Join Date: 2004-03-04 Member: 27118Members
    Already tried that..first i tried uninstalling then reinstalling steam..didn't work..then i tried unstalling halflife and everything, then reinstalling everything..didn't work..and now i can't even contact steam to get the update for steam..boo :| oh well..i'll wait..i can be patient *twitches*..i'll just go dig out my gi jos and aliens toys and pretend that i'm playing ns on my living room floor..hahaha..But yes, it is just a connection problem, i know steams down and/or just getting raped by users trying to download the update..

    Anyone else getting really bad lag now?

    I'm used to having 130 ping or so be the max, but now in game it's 200-500, and everything is like a slideshow.

    I'm not sure if it's my folder, my connection, or steam in general.

    It's happening in CS too.
  • KazeKaze Join Date: 2003-09-01 Member: 20447Members
    Sigh, has anybody actually been able to recieve an user validation email yet?
    I believe once i receieve this email and enter the code the 'steam ticket validation error' wont happen anymore, but has anybody actually had this phantom email?
  • StGeorgeStGeorge Join Date: 2004-02-08 Member: 26258Awaiting Authorization
    The e-mail valadiation is working right now.

    did you try logging out and back in again?

    Thats supposed to solve it.

    I had lag too. I deleted ClientRegistry.blob and rerun steam. The file will be recreated in the update. Worked for me, normal pings again <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Now I'm semi-annoyed as the e-mail I set up my Steam account under unexpectedly went AWOL. Ah well. At least I have another CD-key if this one is made very dead. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
