This afternoon when I tried starting Counter-Strike: Source
I was given a message that it could not connect to the steam
server. I am very sure of the password, but just for the
hell of it I clicked on the "recover" password and it's
telling me the account doesn't exist.
There is another option where you enter the CD key and it
sends you the correct account name via email - I did this
and it sent me the email with the account name, so apparantly
the account does exist in their system.
I can log into Steam using another account I just created,
but any time I try logging in with my old account it fails
with the "cannot connect" message.
As a test, I tried my new account with an incorrect password
and it gives a message indicating a wrong password. If I
try my old account with an obviously wrong passord, I get the
message that it cannot connect...
At that point I couldn't play any of my Valve games - not
even the orginal Half-Life!! - even in "offline mode" because
it says I have no connection information.
One of the Steam help pages suggested an uninstall of Steam
and then reinstall... I did this and it not only removes
the Steam program, but Half-Life 2 as well.
Has anyone else ever seen this?? I've sent emails to Steam,
and obviously they aren't going to respond until Monday, but
I was just wondering if this has been the experience of anyone
else?
