Random numbers being added as friends

[andrelol3]

Since a few weeks ago a bunch of users with no profile are being added as my friends on Steam. I remove them, but they always come back. Their user names are just a bunch of numbers, no avatar and no profile (since I can click on them to open their pages).

What is this?

Well, there are a bunch of server issues right now that show random users names as their Steam Community ID number strings.

Server issues causing profiles and nicknames not loading properly, that number is the Steam ID

Don't remove anyone, it's just a server-sided issue with Steam.

Man, I've deleted 4 of them and yes, it seems real profile are now gone from my friend list. =(

Thanks for the info.

Just server issues...

For friends, try...

Navigate to... Steam\userdata\<Steam3ID>\config\

Open localconfig.vdf up with WordPad and CTRL+F to your friends. Find your friends.

Some sites cache previous friends like Steamid.uk and Steamrep.

If you have any chat history with important ones, a link to their profile should appear here...

Today I went to friends and saw 5 strange accounts that I did not add, the accounts were named as a set of different numbers,when I click on them, I can not go to their profile, I tried many ways but even the user account does not open, maybe someone had this?. If there was something to do in this case?
Ksta ti when writing this entry once again went to friends and accounts became 3.

Go to their profile and click the little arrow in the upper right, under their Steam level. One of the options it to unfriend.

Keep in mind that the server are having issue at the moment, so a profile's name may be replaced with their SteamID. They may very well be people you added.

Most likely it was steam ID and I was wrong, thank you for your help.

It is server issues. They are friends you added.

We had a thread here about it...

7561198374408016 appearing in my steam friends list

Hey an account with the name "7561198374408016" keeps appearing in my friends list, I cannot click on the account and view the profile and when I tried to remove the friend it removed actual friends from my account instead, what is happening with this?

[Wolf Knight]

server is having issues, nothing to worry about

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

I guess they're going to merge them all here...
