Steam Not responding

[theserpent]

Hey I opened steam its updating.After updating i left it like that for 10 minutes
Saw its stuck(Not-responding),I tried it several times its not workings,I repaired it.Still not.
What do i do?

 

[JojoTheDragon]

Uninstall and run it again.

May be due to server load.

 

[theserpent]

.If i uninstall i will loose my game(Fallout) I dint take a backup

 

[Sujeet]

If its server load then whats the point in uninstalling??

 

[theserpent]

^^.What do i i am fed up of steam.Did updating at least 10+ times

Copy the entire steam folder somewhere before uninstalling.

 

[theserpent]

^^ But will that work?

Use Game Booster to defrag Steam folder once and try again.

Copying entire steam folder works in case of transferring all steam games from one PC to other so it should work in this case.

There should be a steamapps folder. Backup that and Steam.exe. delete everything else and then run steam again.

^ I just delete steam folder

SOLVED NOW Without deleting/uninstalling

no you wont, if you UNINSTALL steam, the steamapps folder remains, as it has all the games. just copy this somewhere, if you are paranoid

Copy the entire steam folder somewhere before uninstalling.

got it a bit wrong.
delete everything except steamapps folder and steam.exe.
then run steam.exe. it'll update itself

^ I just delete steam folder

try these steps :
1. delete clientregistry.blob (the only blob file, delete it)
2. delete everything except steamapps and steam.exe, run steam
3. delete everything after backing up steamapps and install again.

Honestly I have no idea what you did there. You said you just deleted the steam folder, then you go on to mention that you solved it without deleting???

^steam is quirky. Problem solves itself.

Yeah. I struggled for months to see the main screen. These days it installs smoothly in every PC I have tried.

 

[theserpent]

I deleted
Steam.Dll
Some 2-3 Dll files
Updated Again
Restarted computer
now its fine.

You don't have to delete steam.dll everytime. I too have very slow Internet and it takes atleast 5 minutes to login. Sometimes even more. Keep patience

 

[theserpent]

Steam is not responding again

I wish i could SUE steam

 

[Skud]

An update has been rolled out yesterday, and it looks like Steam is failing to get updated. This had happened to me earlier when my connection speed was pathetically slow. Keep on trying.
