Just came home, I seem to be unable to launch steam.
It gives me the screen for the username and pw, after entering those and pressing enter the screen disappears, but nothing happens. Cant launch any games, the little steam icon is not visible next to the clock.
The strangest thing is that steam is active in the task manager.
Tried deleting the .blob file, did not help!
Any suggestions?

Tried killing it and just trying again? Rebooted pc? How much time have you given it? Steam takes ages to launch for me..

i have the same prob….i am able to launch it but it takes ages and when im in steam i dont have my friendslist online and no connection to steam cloud.
I need help ! :P

Edit: rebooting, restaring steam and deleting clientregistry.blob did not work for me

EDIT 2: i started steam without autologin to friends and it worked

Same for me, I guess it’s a steam problem rather than your PC.

How long is “ages” for you?
I waited quite a while but nothing happened!

Up to 3~5 minutes sometimes. Tried any of the above?

Feel free to assume it’s a steam problem, as spin said.

We’re tracking an issue with our POP provider that’s causing connectivity issues for Steam users since about 0415 PST today. Some users will be able to connect, and some won’t, based on geographic location mostly.
