Thread: Steam Down

Well I finally get my steam back, right in the middle of a major down time for Steam Worldwide. I am able to start the pre-load/installation but I am having difficulty in veryfing emails and setting up paswords and secret questions as the servers go on and off.

There is major confusion throughout Steam Gamers as this has happened at the same time as Steam are trying to push their 2010 UI.
People of lost either their Purchased Games and or their Friends Lists. Aparently they will come back after the maintenance. Howeverr some have found going back to the original UI has fixed that issue.

Other complaints have come from the statement that 'Gameplay will not be affected', however as we all know many Steam Games are multiplayer and require connection to steam servers to begin..Fail unable to connect, this also has affected some single player games. Players reported being booted from some games whilst playing and are now complaining that their acheivments during that period will be lost. At present their are over 50 threads on the Steam Forums complaining about this downtime coming after the swag of hijackings and the fact that steam moved offices and have a huge backlog of support requests that currently sit at about 6 days.

Here is hoping I am all up and running by tonight

geez man, good luck hey.
