Some images not being displayed in Steam store.

[erratic_gamer]

When i open steam store in Steam , some images don't get displayed. What could cause this ? I tried clearing prefetch, %temp% and temp and my browsers cache yet the issue persists.


Same thing happens when i use Edge to view steam store.

Just refresh the browser multiple times.

Sometimes it occurs cause Steam is in the middle of making various changes.
If something is not working a certain time, try back later.

Use CCleaner as a means of dumping your junk.
However if u wish to flush out Steam Client's temp internet junk; that gets stored here:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Steam\htmlcache

If it's affecting Edge and the Steam web browser then it is not a cache problem, as they use completely separate caches. So stop using CCleaner.

May be a Steam problem, may be an ISP problem. Unless it's really causing a problem for you, I suggest just waiting for a day or two to see if the issue resolves.

It is a big annoyance and maybe an ISP issue. I am unable to download Nvidia drivers normally on my IsP.

FWIW, I've just noticed the page below has some broken images, both in the Steam client and in Chrome.

http://store.steampowered.com/news/externalpost/steam_community_announcements/1967358417035232117

If I right click one of the broken images and select "Copy Link Address" it gives me an image on a third party website: http://www.overkillsoftware.com/ovk-media/2017/06/5mill.png

If I manually browse to that image in Chrome it first shows up a message, then redirects to the image. The web page then works in Chrome.

May be something like that - nothing you or I can do about it, just something odd that the website owner has done. This may be because the image is being loaded from a third party website, and the third party is making sure their image isn't being leeched.

(Edit: just looked at the message more closely. It's an interim page to prevent DDOS attacks, so makes sense that it would be used when the image is being loaded from a different website. But it is enough to break the image on the website you're looking at it from, it seems.)

Re your Nvidia drivers, are you downloading them from Nvidia's website?

Yes nvidia drivers im downloading from either nvidia.com. geforce.com or guru3d. One friend even uploaded them to mediafire. Still didn't download. I am using TOR browser to download them successfully for now.

I wouldn't say that is ISP issue; most likely because of your Country. Not to knock anyones home country, but the fact is, the world is like this.

You don't need to rely on NVIDIA.com for that stuff anyways; there are alot of other 100% legit mirror sites to get them from. Just do not ever rely on having updates come through to your PC via Geforce Experience, which is not the proper way to do drivers anymore than Windows Updates is.

I get same issue on any mirror site. I had no such issues on my previous ISP. But that isp was tooo slow.

That doesn't make any sense though; a mirror site is another server, sometimes in another country, which is housing a copy of the original file, to make it easier to download and take some traffic away from say, NVIDIA.com since a single site like that only has enough download slots available at any given time, and can easily get periods of being flooded when a new driver comes out.

I even got the same issue when you uploaded the drivers for me to a 3rd party file hosting website, remember ? It is certainly an ISP issue. Since other people of my nation won't sit quietly if they had this issue.

Also, you never did try another browser did you?

I think this is a simple issue of you having SmartScreen enabled and trying to download an "EXE" file.

AMD drivers get downloaded just fine even though they have an exe. The only way i get thru is if i use TOR.


How do i disable SMartScreen?

Add ; NVM found it
