Steam Not responding

[eggman]

Go to the Networking tab in your Task Manager. After opening steam, when it will not be responding, check if there is any activity in that tab.
If it is, that means that steam is downloading some $h1t. Sometimes takes about 5 mins in my 10MBPS connection.

^10 mbps :O which ISP?

steam is in my startup apps. if i ever exit steam manually and run it again, it takes more than 5 tries and 15min to get it started again. most of the time it just stops responding while signing in.

Most probably Beam Fiber.


@Sam I never have had problems like that

launch steam and don't touch it. if it stops responding, close it. but while signing in, if you even by mistake click on the screen it stop working. thats the best solution i can find.

Why are you clicking in the taskbar? First check whether it has been updated to 20 March 2012 version or not.

Its fully updated.Is there a manual Patch?
I clicked on the taskbar,To open the main steam UI.(I.e the library etc)

Once Steam is launched, click on Library.

Once Steam is launched, click on Library.

Its launching .."Connecting to steam account".
After this it disappears

Its launching .."Connecting to steam account".
After this it disappears

Its happens.
Tips- When this happens, if you are on Windows 7 press the "Show desktop" button. Whenever Steam gets minimised, it seems to load without problem.

 

[theserpent]

Yeah,But after connecting.Even if i open any game it doesnt load

Yeah,But after connecting.Even if i open any game it doesnt load

That's common. Just cancel and click play again if it takes too long.

 

[theserpent]

Now back to not responding
How do i play offline guys?(cos steam not working)
Fallout launches thru steam

 

[Nipun]

Whenever steam starts, click on steam(top left) and select offline mode.

 

[thetechfreak]

@Nipun That wont help if Net is on.

Now back to not responding

Fallout launches thru steam

Turn off Internet, then double click steam and play

Then it will open in offline mode and hopefully you will be able to play.
