Steam disconnects when logging in from another computer
My problem is that I cannot connect to Steam from two computers at the same time. When I log in another computer (computer 2) while Steam is connected on another (computer 1), Steam disconnects (it does NOT log out) from internet in computer 1 and runs perfectly in computer 2. It says NO CONNECTION down in the window.
The problem is the same the other way around: now if I close Steam and if I log in computer 1, it disconnects from computer 2.
I've tried everything: disabled both firewalls, connecting in another network, uninstalling hamachi, etc.

I am desperate because I want to use In Home Streaming, but I can't because of this issue.

PD: if it is useful, I have tried installing Steam in a Linux computer and there was no problem.

I am waiting for your response. Thank you for your patience.

Hi,

Not sure, but try to go in offline mode on the client Computer, and then you should start online on the host.

do you have checked your IHS Settings in steam options like "enable streaming" ?

The problem solved by itself. I don't know an accurate fix. Sorry :(

I'm having this issue.. when I open Steam on my laptop, Steam on my desktop (main platform) goes "No Connection", and it won't revert back to it's original connected state when closing down Steam on my laptop. Which is kinda annoying.

Same here, it's been going on since Christmas.

I have the same issue, when opening steam in a second computer in the same wifi network it disconnects from the first one, this doesn't happen if they are in different networks.

It happens with any wifi, as long as both PCs are connected to the same network

I'm having the same problem and I can't fix it
UnitThree Sep 9, 2023 @ 9:29pm 
Been happening to me for over a year now and Steam support was no help. I NEED a fix.

Run Steam on one of the 2 PCs with the launch command
-private_ip_override 192.0.0.0
This will make it think it's on a different network and will allow both instances to stay online.

How can I run steam with that launch command?

create a shortcut for steam.exe
shortcut properties, add that to the end of its target line
