Content Servers Unreachable

[Zinrio666]

HI!

I'm having problems updating my steam games, every time I try to update them it always says" Content Servers Unreachable". I have tried running as administrator, changing download regions, and restarting my modem. Still nothing works. Is anyone also experiencing this right now and not just me ?

I would very much appreciate it, if you can give any solution to this problem

What is your antivirus program and do you have any other security software other than antivirus installed ?

Are you using a router in the connection, along with that modem, or just ethernet from the modem directly ?

Boot the computer into safe mode with networking, and see if that helps. This is only a troubleshooting test step to help find the issue. Reply with what happens, please.

EDIT...Also, how many different regions for downloads did you try and did you try some very far away from you also ?

I had same problem. To solve it you need to add one line in config.vdf file. Do this:
-Close Steam and find config.vdf in \Steam\config folder
-Open it in text editor (i used Wordpad)
-Find line called "PercentDefaultWebSockets" "50"
-Under above mentioned line paste what is mentioned in this post on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/8u8un2/steam_in_wine_being_unable_to_connect_to_content/
-Save changes in file and start Steam again. It is possible that you will have to restart it twice like i had to.

Now all should work - downlading games and updating them.
Those are adresses that Steam client should use for connecting to content servers (CDN). Strangely, they are missing in this file for some people.

Hello,

This does not cover everything in the post that you quoted, and there still can sometimes be cases where more regions need to be tried. I would first try many more regions, and make sure to try some very, very far away from you also.

The closest or next closest region(s) are not necessarily always going to be the best region for the content you are trying to download.

I have this same problem. Messing around with config.vdf didnt help. Also on windows 10.

There is another thread with this same problem. If you're up to it.

There are many search results with the same problem. And using the forum search is a great way to solve issues that user's have surely had in the past.

And none of those past solutions are working right now. This was recent. I've been following it for a good week now. Just asking if you'd like to help.

Which solutions have you attempted so far from all those threads in the search result ?

If you have already posted that in another thread, feel free to link me to that post, but it's easier to try to help users when they keep their issue to just one thread about it, honestly. Going back and forth from different threads is not really going to be productive, with all due respect.

so on this thread's I've explained everything. which method's I tried and stuff https://steamcommunity.com/app/570/discussions/0/1743358239838604658/
And after no response I kept trying and I actually found out that something is wrong my router maybe, but it was over 50 mbps download speed I am able to broswe and surf internet with it but when I just simply unplugged it as you said on one thread. So I followed your instructions and did it and till then I connected my mobiles internet to my pc via trasfer cable and then every download resumed on it's own plus it seems whenever I connect back my router same problem appears maybe this has do something with internet providers policy since all of the internet providers I mean globally, since this was explained to me by vodafone company since I was working in a work, point is that if you a months pack after 75% of the days your internet speed will be reduced along with every othere service like it will affect browsing and download, ping, packets so maybe this has to do something with it. And when downloads resumed on mobile internet connection and I was redownloading CS:GO so I went ahead and re-plugged the ethernet cables and restarted my router and it was downloading CS:GO but just because it was already conneted to the server maybe maybe my computer kept receving downloads because of my IP or something I don't know anymore but the issue is related to my router.

Yes, one of the first things I usually suggest in any connection issue thread is for the user to totally bypass any wireless hardware, including routers.

That is step number 2 here :

Told my Internet provider to do that he even reconfigured the whole router nothing has changed lol But still when I connect my mobile internet and then starta donload on steam it starts and then unplugged it whilst it is downloading my router can download the rest but if there is a second download I need to do the same process everytime. Why? now I literally did every single thing I ever found out.

Plus it's not wireless, it has a wire for second input.
