Hey!
I have huge issues with steam at the moment. Since yesterday evening I am not able to connect to the steamnetwork anymore.
Neither did I install any new software nor did I change anything else. From one second to another it just doesn’t work anymore.

I got different error messages like:

“Steam.exe (main exception): to run Steam, you must first connect to the internet”

or just that I could not connect to the steamnetwork and check my connection…
But my internet connection is fine.

I tried several recommended fixes that I found on the internet and the steam forums…
Nothing worked so far.

So now I uninstalled steam. But now I can’t reinstall it. The steam updating window always gets stuck and doesn’t update.
I opened the required ports of my router…
I deleted all registry keys and anything else which is related to steam and tried to reinstall…

Don’t know what to do.

I also lost 120gbs of games in my library that I will need to redownload because I didn’t know that uninstalling steam will delete all games including all my configs, huds, plugins etc etc for TF2 -.-

Any suggestions? The steam support usually takes weeks to answer and will give me a fix I probably already tried…

Help :(

Turn off windows firewall?

Nope didn’t help…

I disabled Windows Firewall and restarted PC.

Steam Updater stuck at 1 % :(

what internet connection you have? e.g mobile internet providers blocking it…

when i have problems with steam network i fixed it by creating a new shortcut to steam and launch it with -tcp as launch options, then remove it if i could connect and launch steam normally

It’s maybe too late. Tried too much stuff and anything worked, maybe I messed it up myself with triying too many fixes and deleting and reinstalling too often. Will probably end in completely reinstalling windows :(

Well maybe its some higher act of nature since I have exams very soon :>
