Anyone got issues when running games on steam that it closes for no apparent reason when playing online games, and then later kicks you off the game for not being logged in?

Kept having to delete my clientregistry.blog and starting again.

I did have issues with TF2 randomly crashing but I installed a fresh copy of steam into a new location and it solved most major issues...

Steam has been really buggy for the last two years and it doesn't matter if your using XP, Vista or Windows 7 because they all have the same glitches and problems regardless of the OS your using and they dont seem capable of solving the problems anytime soon....I have multiple bug reports open with 5 different issues for over the last 18months and they still cant figure out whats wrong :mad:

They need to stop using the System security token and start using an administrator token because they can solve a majority of the issues but untill they stop supporting XP every version of Vista and Windows 7 will just have non-stop issues :mad:

Copy this URL into Internet Explorer and press enter to force steam to run a System Assessment ;)

I got this bug where i delete the files out of the garrysmod folder to generate the old files and remove all of the mods and addons but after i delete the files and restart the game, it loads all the files like i didn't delete them. Any ideas why this is happening?

I've tried to install both Empire Total War and Call of Duty Modern Warfare, which require Steam. However, when its been installed, it goes to the "Updating Steam" window. Stays there for a while then comes up with the error:
"Steam.exe (main exception): Unable to load library Steam.dll"

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. And am connected to the internet.

I have previously installed Empire on correctly and played it, but reinstalled Windows so lost everything.

Any solutions?

Do you have your routers firewall enabled by any chance?

Even after manually adding all the ports to it's filter - the only way I could connect to steam was disable the routers firewall completely.

Sorry, I'm a noob in some of this stuff, but where does one check for the router's firewall?

Yes, I also found exactly this page, this is my problem! Mine comes up with that exact error:
Crash: Steam.exe (main exception): Unable to load library Steam.dll
Thanx, I'll look through this all.
It could also be my connection. I'm using a WAN mini port, vpn device type.

Also check to see that Windows firewall isn't blocking you.

Control Panel, Windows Firewall - click "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall" and that anyting STEAM is not un-checked. ie if you have a box without a checkmark, the item is blocked.

Good luck.

Someone posed a while back that changing the "Download region" fixed download/connection problems. Might give that a try.
