Needs more info, haven't heard about such cases lately. Maybe your case is different?
What's the error message? How was the game account created?

Error description: The username is unavailable in World of Warships. Try a different username, or select any of these suggestions...

The account was created through Steam, I play it through Steam, I purchase through Steam - up until new years eve, at least. I've experienced it before, but then just tried after a few minutes, and was able to log in. But not this time.

I just tried to launch WOT, and got an error saying, that the game was not able to sync with Steam Clouds, this is a new error I havent seen before - does could that give a hint?

Weird, it only happened when Steam services were not working properly. You should contact Player Support then: https://wargaming.net/support/products/wows/help/

Oh, sounds like something is blocking Steam application from accessing some of Steam servers, do you have some new firewall or antivirus? Try disabling them, and if that resolves the problem — you know where to look for the reason.

Only Windows firewall and defender. Tried disabling both, no result. Not sure whether to contact Steam or Wargames support, seems more like a Steam Issue to me?

Well, since it affects different games — might try Steam support. After that maybe WG support as well.

Have you tried usual network troubleshooting like rebooting router, etc? Hard to say where the problem is localized.

is it because of steam again?
and I dont know how I am supposed to see it on this website: https://steamstat.us/

See a lot of orange lines? Steam is having bigger problems, i can't even join regular Steam chat.

Damned thing wiped all of progress and forced me to change username to even load up. Only good part is the ship I bought with Steam is still there, just all progress and captains undone. How do I get back my progress and original username?

Don't worry, your progress can't be lost. It should be resolved automatically after problems on Valve's end pass.
If not — contact me or Player Support. Also check that you're logging into the same game region because account is tied to a specific region, you can't transfer to another.
