Steam authentication error

[V3NM]

Just to get another post out there about this, it's ridiculous. Happens once or twice an hour it seems, and always at the worst times. Came back for the expansion after a long break, never even seen an authentication error in the 1,000 hours I played previously, now it's every session.

my gf gets this everytime she tries t log in and i cant find any solution anywhere, its seems like a placing blame situation, online people says its steam, steam says its amazon. hell i cant even contact anyone from steam they dont read emails apparently anymore, and steam jsut directs you to amazon website.

I get this error as well during long play session at least one per day. It also says lag spike detected some times when I get this error, very frustrating even happens when I am in a expedition and everyone has to wait for me to close the game and relaunch.

I got one of these after getting a "Lag Detection" error. That one went away, I played a few more minutes and then the Steam Error kicked me out.

+ i aswell after a few hours of playing get this error and have to restart the game... mostly when im in raids or group wich is annoying because than i need to catchup or even get kicked... PLZ FIX

This happens to me after 2-3 hours (sometimes sooner, but not twice an hour like OP):

"Lag detected"
disconnected from server
"Login Malfunction. Please try again soon."
close and restart game

(I don't have to restart steam as it claims sometimes)

Yes same.
