mobil network to keep alive packet, turn it off check with or at friends pc or use your laptop at hes places to change location to see if that can trigger a update, and no dont use phone we are talk about cable or wifi there. ( same as on blizzard game client you can see they are online at mobil im sure this is same here, but somehow steam tell you are online ) teachnicaly you are , its just dont say mobil ( just because i think its that dont make me right, and maybe you understand why blizzard says mobil, and steam have maybe choise not to info what you are, as more security.

same sa most have learn not to say then they are on holiday, im sure you can see a security issue with give other info where you are, again do know i work with security and see things way diffrent the most others. i cant say im right , and i dont work for steam or know what they did, i just have a diffrent view point on the subject.

im sure you can see a issue with tell other what you are, and when you are on it.
and no you dont want to know that dark places and the ways i see things, you either get it or other will explan what i said.
