Two notifications for everything?

[Zrima]

Hello everyone, I have a minor annoyance : any chat notfication I get, I get twice.
Twice for every message, twice from any friend starting a game.
Is there a way for me to fix this issue, please?

Difficult to say, but commonly when you get errors like this it's usually down to a server playing up somewhere.

In which case, nothing you can do but wait for it to fix itself.

If it persists in the coming days, get back to us here.

This keeps happening when people on my FL open a game. I thought at first they were all seemingly having problems opening games each time but then it just kept happening.

Again likely a server issue. It happens sometimes, and it's usually because a server somewhere is having a problem, so it misreports that it's having issues when it's still working somewhat.

This tends to result in traffic being diverted through another server AND still working itself - so you get TWO messages. One through it and one through where it's diverted.

Again all you can do is wait and it usually fixes itself.

The thing is, I never experienced this before. No big deal either way, and I dunno if it was just a coincidence, but restarting Steam helped for a while. You're most probably right, though. Definitely some server quirkiness happening on Valve's end.

Yeah but it's not Valve's end - that's the point (or EVERYONE would get it).

It's just how servers and networks work.

When you have a load of links in a chain before it gets to your end, it quite often happens where a server will have issues. And instead of fully breaking and either not responding or reporting to other servers not to route through it, they will kind of do this weird limbo where they'll partly report or divert (or not respond in time) but carry on working so you end getting the data via them, AND the server it's redirected through.

I've had it a few times over the years, on Steam and in other places. It was a pain in the arse once when it happened on Facebook as they didn't get to it for days.

instead of reopening a month old thread to insult someone

how about posting the answer?

my first thought would be the same

a server hiccup that duped the files/requests

if that is not the case, i would like to know

It's been like this for weeks or months. Waiting hasn't solved anything.

I confirm, even if I didn't write anything.

IMO, the client should at least remember which popup it recently displayed anyway.

Disregarding the issue in this topic, when one of my contact has trouble with a game not running properly or with internet connection, I don't need a thousand popups telling me that xXxNarutoSasukexXx started a game of Rimworld. One is enough.
