Store issues/server down?

[Canid]

I've been trying to buy a game for a while now, but whenever I attempt to purchase it, it attempts to load for a bit, then Ij ust get this error.

"Error
There was an error communicating with the Steam servers. Please try again later."

I've tried:

1.) Restarting steam
2.) Restarting my router
3.) Restarting my PC
4.) Running steam as admin
5.) Changing my store/download region

I've been having issues all night , chat not working , pages loading as just blue text on a black background. No images . Most of its working now but I still can't use the friends list . Hoping it's a wider issue so something will get fixed.

whenever i have an issue with steam i do all of the following:

you could try executing this in windows cmd:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\SteamService.exe" /repair

if that doesn't work, i would next try clearing all caches in settings.
settings>web browser
delete web browser cache
delete all browser cookies

settings>downloads
clear download cache

log back into steam.

i suppose you could also see if you have any issues outside of the application to do with networking.

type into notepad:

@echo off
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
netsh int tcp reset
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset
pause

save that file as "net_refresh.bat" on your desktop or wherever you want and then run it as admin. once it's ran and completed it will tell you that the computer needs a restart from a cmd box. restart the computer.

you could even try turning off your router for about 10 minutes to let your ISP disconnect your router from its currently assigned public IP and then switch your router back on to let it reconnect where it will be assigned a new public IP. you have to leave the router off for about 10 minutes or else your ISP will just reassign the same public IP back to the router (which is sort of annoying).

for example, steam servers might be acting weird with specifically your IP for some reason. changing it might resolve the issue. who knows?

I've been having issues since at least yesterday as well. Constant disonnects on the friends list and steam hanging on launching constantly.

What happened? What region are you in?

I've narrowed down my issues to a SSL certificate expiring yesterday and I'm a lazy man who hasn't updated anything. It seems to be the problem anyway as I'm having connectivity issues on other sites that use the certificate.

I've just installed 144 windows and it seems to have done the job.
