Every time I log onto a server, I get disconnected and am given this message.
You have been disconnected from the server. Reason: Error verifying Steam userId ticket (server was unable to contact the authentication server)
There are peeps playin, but I cannot stay logged on for more than a few seconds. I tried the main server and the gas chamber server. I got the same message. Steam needs to get their act together soon as we need our TFC fixs.
I saw the other thread about peeps not being able to log in to steam accounts but felt that this was the proper place for my steam rant. |

Restart steam.
Should be fine. |

Last time was during the ice storm on the east coast which shut down power to the servers. I just gave it time to come back up. Anyone else having problems? |

Clientregistry.blob fixed the problem. Thks Tiger and Chips. By the way Tiger, the steam link you sent me to was for a different problem, but I searched the site and found the right one.
Thanks again! |

Foot...you do realize the post just above your initial post about this problem told you what to do.
...and...I edited the link in tigers post since foot says it doesn't pertain...and it was breaking the forums, making them as wide as a football field. |

Because you had an extra closing bracket in front of the [/url] |

Yes Chips, I realize you had given me the answer. I didn't need it when you gave it to me before, as the problem cleared up by itself. I figured the power got restored to the validation servers. I was more curious to find out if anyone else was having that problem so soon after the server was down for maintainence. Also before it happened on every server I tried to log onto, but this time it was only our server that gave me that error message. I'm just glad it worked! Thanks again. |

first few things to do when a steam game acts up:
1: restart the specific game
2: restart steam
3: delete clientregistry.blob and restart steam
4: verify the integrity of the game caches (this is last because of the time it takes, as you have to do this not just for the game, but for every game it relies on) |
