Cannot upload screenshots. [SOLVED]

[Driftkel]

I started experiencing this just today. And I'm sure that I'm not the only one experiencing this, but okay.

I'm trying to upload 2 screenshots from Grand Theft Auto IV, and it doesn't upload because a message saying that "There was an error uploading 1 screenshots. Steam Cloud may be temporarily unavailable."

And it doesn't matter which game it is because it happens to all of my other games.

I tried exiting Steam and re-launched it. Nothing worked.
-Tried running Steam as Adminisrator. Nothing worked.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Please comment down below.

Hi! A huge error with the screenshot system occured back in March 2014. It seemed to be that the problem was caused by the Steam//Valve servers. I guess you just have to wait and see if it will work in a couple of minutes/hours.

Thanks. I'm assuming that there must be some server maintenance going on, and hopefully should end soon. I'll try waiting later or sooner.

The issue is with non-Steam games. It's gotten a few bug report threads already.

Your GTA4 doesn't seem to be on Steam either.

Yup, I thought so aswell... Try uploading your screenshot again in a couple of minutes, and if still doesn't work, then I guess you can try the next morning.

I know that. I downloaded the game from a different account, but I can still use the launcher to run the game non-Steam.

Yes, the point was: The screenshot issue is exclusive to non-Steam games.

Alright. I can still wait later or sooner, as I said already.

I didn't have this issue since last week.

Been happening to me for about 3 days now. Only played Elder Scrolls Online which is not from Steam during that time. I have dozens of screenshots from this game before this, however.

I've had this happen before in the past and it just went away after a couple days. No idea what causes it. You could try and clear your PC cache, or something and see if that will fix it as that is really the only thing I can think of that will change anyhting on our computers to fix this. I am not in the mood to log back into all my websites, get Steam e-mails for "You logged in from a new computer", etc. Especially after the stupid Authentification thing just got done yesterday, or I would ahve tried it already.

This used to happen to me on Steam games too. It happened like once every couple weeks last year for like 2 months. It was very annoying. In fact I am pretty sure once it lasted over a week. It's like everything else that is broken on Steam. You wait for it to fix itself. Until then there isn't anything you can do since nobody ever knows what causes it. xD

[Driftkel]

Waited a day later, and this still happens. I still can't upload screenshots.

But until then, even if I wait longer, the problem might still persist. Otherwise, what Teutep said could be right. This is an issue with non-Steam games mostly.

Yep and still no reponse from anyone at valve.

i want toupload my screenshots steam. fix it.

[Driftkel]

Exactly what I am trying to do. I'm just hoping that Steam will either take some (or long) time to fix this, or it will probably never be fixed, and then will disappoint us.

Same here. Non-Steam version of GTA V isn't uploading any screenshots. Hope it's fixed soon!

[GrieferLord]

i have been having this issue for about a week now and it's getting rather annoying to me. I have about 40 screenshots i can't upload because of this error and the best part is i can't contact support easily either since they have no topic for having issues with uploading screenshots.

[TITOMOSQUITO187]

hehe...jsut send it as a general Steam Community support complaint.

I honestly don't think Valve knows what the problem is, or they don't feel as if it is important enough to fix right away. It is Non-steam games because I can upload other screenshots for Steam games, but not my Elder Scrolls Online Non-Steam game.

This has happened on and off for over a year at tiems. It has just been a really long time since I have seen it. Usually it happens for Steam games too for soem people so it gets noticed more. It always jsut goes away eventually. It ahs taken a week to sort out before. Either they know about it and how to fix it, and it is something to do with their databases they don't want fixed right now, or they hav eno clue and hope it will fix itself with an update eventually.
