Steam - Fatal Error (Steam needs to be online to update....)

Nothing special about my system or network.... been playing steam the last week with no problems. Look like it's trying to update- I see it progress to about 2MB/76MB and then it just dies and gives me the following error:

Steam needs to be online to update. Please confirm your network connection and try again.

FYI - My network is not going down.

Anyone having the same issue / have a fix?

Ya I know it's a coincidence but, it's been three days for me now.

- I reinstalled, uninstalled about 4-5 times now in different drives.
- System restored back 4 days.
- Did most of every Steam Support thing on the website.

I'm at a loss on the suddenness of this and it seems like Valve doesn't care because the only thing that changed on my computer that can cause this is the Steam Client update. That's the only thing that changed on my computer.
the only solution i have is the restore your computer from an earlier time. you will loose all your pictures and stuff though.

I done that too. As my computer stuff doesn't change often, I don't lose much. I tried that and it's the same. I don't know what to do. Other then wait and hope...

I find that steam sucks in general and I think valve needs to be spending a lot more time making it run smoothly for people instead of adding hats to tf2

Ugh, my steam was working perfectly two days ago but now I can't login. I've tried the other methods that usually solves this problem for me but they didn't work. Eventually I tried to uninstall and reinstall. I can't even install Steam since I keep getting this[gyazo.com]...

I had a discussion with a guy on my profile page about how to solve it, go there. My solution might help you.

My “Fatal Error: Steam needs to be online to update” (during initial installation on Windows 7) has been resolved.

The root cause problem was background processes running in Google Chrome and Firefox browsers. Closing all browsers during update downloads solved the remaining problem. Hopefully Support will add this root cause and solution into the otherwise very helpful support post Troubleshooting Network Connectivity.

To understand the problem I needed to see the network traffic on the PC. Microsoft’s TCPView.exe application proved invaluable to diagnose the problem. Download TCPView here. <https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb897437.aspx>

TCPView shows all the network connections with their associated process, port, local and remote addresses, state, and bytes sent and received. The STATE column holds the key. For me to complete the Steam downloads, *only* Steam processes could have State as “ESTABLISHED.” In order to close other ESTABLISHED network connections, run msconfig as described in Disabling Background Applications AND close all your browsers. Any remaining ESTABLISHED connections may be closed using the right-click menu in TCPView. Firewall processes did not cause a problem in my case, probably because they were very short lived. I had previously uninstalled the anti-virus thus do not know if it would have interfered.

Hopefully this solution proves useful to other users.

This old computer:
AMD FX-4100 3.60 GHz, ASUS Motherboard, 8 GB
Win 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit
ISP: Wireless broadband (Motorola Canopy 900MHz system), typically less than 75KB/s download speed. Hey, I live in the boondocks and I only want to "play" Rocksmith.

I guess this makes me the latest roll out of the damned "Error Fan Club". Except I am NOT a fan.

For this case I would like to advice;
- completely uninstall steam (u need to back up games files before uninstall)
- download steam.exe from http://store.steampowered.com/about/
- change install location to C:\Program Files\
- make sure to have SteamUI.dll
That's all !! Hope it work !!

This is a really late reply, but I figured out how to fix it.

I deleted McAfee AntiVirus and everything started to work.

It was probably interfering with steam.
