Fatal Error. Steam needs to be online to update.

[Nehaal]

I've been having this problem from today outta nowhere and I've been trying so many methods to fix it but only failed. Can someone please provide me with a solution to this.

Same issue here, I had the same issue yesterday for few a hours (originally thought it was the game I played). Currently login problems and unable to connect to any gaming servers. Today there seems to be no end to the issue and all games are affected for me as soon as I have to go join an online server, already 5 hours trying to get it fixed and atm convinced it is not an issue on my side I can fix but Steam itself.

I am having the same issue.. Un installed and reinstalled but in vain.. Awakward.. Is there any way to contact steam support, or they are just too busy minting money and cant even provide a bug less app..

I searched and searched and finally found this new method and it actually worked guys!! I'm finally back in!!!

Go to Control panel, Network and Internet, Internet options, Connections tab, LAN setting, uncheck automatically detect setting.

THIS ACTUALLY WORKED.
