Can't open the store, can't click on any game or even open account details.

Yes steam has been crapping out for like an hour, and yes everyone is annoyed.

why are you wasting their time but creating duplicate threads?

The people moderating this forum ar NOT Valve employee. Could be they dont know either. They just clean up after you.

Trying to use steam at the moment is infuriating.

[Metal Izanagi]

It's been doing this for a few days now, off and on. It's annoying as heck.

That's a bit unusual. I think, for the rest of us, only the community pages are affected. Is it the same error when you try to open your library, or something different?

[Ghast]

Yep. I was lucky enough to not encounter this error for about just once. Next time I'll be spammed the error.

Unless people raise support tickets, this problem will continue.

I'm sure it is setting off alarms at Valve HQ.

Naturals disasters will do that, there's not much Steam can do if things between Steam and yourself are disrupted or otherwise affected.

i mean it in a more colloquial sense since i can't subscribe and unsubscribe to mods on the workshop which effectively disables my entire library since i only really play one game and my current loadout of mods is buggy and crashes my game

Very random. One thing I have noticed is if you log out from Steam and then view Steam - no errors and pages are displayed every time. I bottled out with re-installing Steam at that point. Not much cop really as I can't post anything, except it is now running 'normal'! Until the next minute.

And what did I get when I went to post ... Sorry, some kind of error has occurred: There was an error communicating with the network. Please try again later. Yeah, sure.

Still no resolution
I made my own thread abotu this issue 3 days ago, someone joined my thread or moved? it here, but why did they waste time to merge the thread and not provide any actual clues as to what is causing it?

They moved mine here as well it is because there already numerous amount of posts here. And steam doesn't let people have duplicate threads. Since it may stop other threads from being answered.

E502 L3 affects everything except library to play games. They should improve their server. There too many people on. But since steam is the only gaming platform, this issue will probably remain. No one uses other gaming platforms. But a plus side at least you can still play games till server is back up. I had to refresh my store page a few times just to get it to work to buy stuff.

It happens at around same time every evening..
My guess is that somebody (meaning many) in some part of the world is going on steam at around same time.

And steam servers cant handle it.

Except the error message states its a server issue, nothing between.
