i get this exact same thing :/



I like how the author writes "Valve released this update like they said they would and no problems have been mentioned thus far."



when 90% of quakenet users seem to have various problems and it's close to 22 CET now (valve said the update took place from 15:00-18:00 CET)...

I meant that no official problems have been mentioned thus far meaning that no one from Valve has said anything about the problems.

"Steam is temporarily unavailable, please try later"

Yea I have sat here for an hour launching and relaunching, rebooting and I get nothing.



Update: After about an hour and a half of trying it finally worked. Steam has been working great for me, but they still need to find a way to make these updates smoother.

That means the content servers are being bogged down, give it time and you'll be able to connect.

Well, the content servers are probably full, try again later...VALVe only has so many servers. My Steam program automatically restarted and I got in, try that. So just wait, or try to restart Steam in an hour or so. Remember, about a few million people play CS.
