Problems with Steam

Post by (V)ayhe(V) »

Does anyone know what your steam user id ticket is ? When I try to play some CS, it tells me the server I am trying to join can't idenify it.

It also says "Server unable to contact the authentication server."

Any idea's, cause I'm stumped and deprived of my internet gaming.

PLEASE HELP :cry:

Close Steam

Go here

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam

Find the file steamclient.dll and rename it to steamclient.bak

Launch Steam

Your client should update...You you should be fine after that.

Let me know otherwise..

I tried what you told me and it says the same thing but a little diferently.

"Dissconected from server. Error verifying STEAM UserID Ticket(server unable to contact the authentication server, 35)"

I double checked the file you had me rename, and according to my search engine there are 2 files named steamclient.dll , and 2 named steamclient.bak. None of which are located in C:/programfiles/valve/steam.

Should I just reinstall my CS and Steam.

Exit Steam, open your steam folder locate these files and rename them with a .bak extension.
ClientRegistery.blob
Steam.dll
SteamUi.dll

Restart steam and try again.
