STEAM USERID Verifacation

[Celshock MP5]

This is pissin me off... I keep getting Error Verifying Steam userID (Unable to contact authentication server) Doesnt matter what server. I can shut down steam completely and bring it back up and it still keeps coming up. I can try to connect to the server 15 times and get nothing. Then once I play on a server and try to switch to another server it will come up again and again and again.... STEAM IS GAYNESS.

This is a steam ERROR.


You can always try renaming your client.blob file and see if that reattaches you to a new server.

Just make sure you have exited steam first.

Is that like renaming my account name?^^

 

[WoRm5406]

no it holds settings for your machine

ok so where is this client.blob file and do I just right click on it and rename it or is there some special thing I have to do.

I had this prob for a little bit tonight, but after I closed and reopened Steam it worked fine.

ditto

 

[WoRm5406]

on your keyboard hold down your windows key and press F

Select files/folders

type in client.blob or *.blob

then right click it and rename.

This way you can always put it back.

rename it to client.blob.old (what ever you want to rename it to just add .old to the end.

What if there is 2 instances of the client.blob file, which one would i choose to rename?

You can not have two unless they re in differnt directories.

It would be easiest to rename them both.
