steam no connection

[Mixxer]

my pc is connected to the internet and steam is showing no connection. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that hasn't worked either. my battle net and epic games both work perfectly fine, just steal won't connect and can't play any games

[madmarkymark]

is it trying to load? What's happening in task manager?

[Mixxer]

in task manger steam client webHelper is open, then it shows steam(32 bit) is open in the background

[Mixxer]

it load up and opens , but at the bottom where it shows doanloads , it says no connection, and when i click on a game to download it say error 'no internet connection'

Wait it out or change download region (at upper left corner of client window click on "Steam" -> "Settings" -> "Downloads" -> "Download region"). Latter seemed to work for some users.

[Mixxer]

ill try changing the region, I've tried clearing the download cache, I've uninstalled and reinstalled it twice. when I uninstall it, it goes back to working normal but when I turn my pc off or close steam it goes back to no connection

[Mixxer]

My steam has not opened in a week. It will not even go into the load up screen to put in my password.

This is a wider problem, and no one seems to have a solution for it. Not even any Valve notification about the issue, just let it roll on, whilst games we have played for, we have no access too.

hopefully they can send out a steam update to fix it

Hi mate, I worked out what my problem was with steam client not opening.

I use a laptop which is connected to a separate screen. Now for whatever reason, I unplugged the screen from the laptop, then steam opens up on the laptop screen.

So I then plug the screen back in and hey presto, all is working.

However, I cannot open steam when the screen is plugged in, lol, but unplug the screen, then it opens up on the laptop screen, I then plug back in the screen and it all works.

Totally random, so, so human technology, meaning inefficient and has so many flaws and issues.

Glitches and problems with IT and software these days, requires you to think outside the box for a solution. I mean who would have thought that one would have to unplug the screen from the laptop, in order to get steam open, then plug back the screen into the laptop, after you have opened the steam app on the laptop screen is saying something about the state of technology. It is really bad, and no one has any explanation as to this problem, this problem that has only recently reared its head.

thats not the problem im running into at all

[Mixxer]

update every time i open steam it still says no connection, the only solution is that I reinstall steam , but as soon as my pc turns off steam doesn't work been like this for over a week. this is getting really annoying at this point

hello mate is your issue fixed

[ZeroTolerance]

Yes, and you know what it was, you'll laugh.

I use laptop, connected to big screen to game on. Their is some glitch with the screen connecting to the laptop, so bad human technology again, not working even when you plug it in.

So what was happening, was I have to unplug the cable, then Steam opens up on the laptop, then I have to plug back in the cable, then it works on the full screen.

Totally random, totally human tech, which is rubbish and I still do not know how to rectify the issue, so random.

So I just unplug the cable, Steam opens up, then I plug the cable back in. Its inefficient and as I say, so typical of rubbish man tech, but it does work.

I do not play much anyway, but at least I now know what happened.

Cheers \o

The problem I had is laptop not connecting the bigger screen, so I had to load up Steam by unplugging the screen cable from the laptop, which then Steam opened up on the laptop, then I plug back in the cable from the big screen, and hey presto, it works.

But it should not happen in the first place, there appears to be no solution to it either. I am not blaming Steam for it, because it happened soon after one of those intrusive and forced upon my laptop Microsoft updates.

Microsoft is going to be taken out soon. I am not going to spill the beans here, but it is coming and it is deserved.
