Steam May Be Experiencing Problems

[infil87]

I'm all the way over in Norway and it works here now. It took a while to get logged in though...

[yubangclan]

I was able to login this morning as of 10:08, i live on the east coast.



however puchases are disabled

[Fuzzio]

No VAC I take it, because there are hackers everywhere

[Alchemist11]

I still can't log in.

How retarded. Everyone else can seemingly log in right now. Oh well. I don't think VAC is up either (from what I've heard).

Eureka. I think it's working.

Wow...I love how everyone is bashing Valve for one small mishap.



I'd blame the data center for the current problems, not Valve.

Well it wouldn't be a problem if we didn't need steam to play our games.

Data center's redundant systems only last so long, the one major one here's backup generator only lasts a maximum of 6-12 hours.



Now while it is one mishap, it is in no way small, steam is a digital content delivery service provider for millions of people world wide, and this "mishap" has probably cost valve a few hundred thousand dollars in potential sales. The lack of redundant login systems throughout their many many content servers is what the real problem is, not the fact that it went down. How the content servers if one stops working for you it just forwards to another, they should have a similar system for their logins.

That's how it always is.

[m4elite]

all accounts that were banned are unbanned at the moment..

[NPW_Thundar]

VAC is working on my server... Try restarting server.

[FlyingMongoose]

VAC is very unreliable, I still would prefer a hooking block client side over a detection method, Cheating-Death will never die in my heart!



Oh and the how would xfire work? There are such things as graphical overlays that don't have to rely on the graphics engine of a game, in fact if Xfire would establish itself in this way in the first place there really wouldn't that "problem"



PS. Those of you who have servers: Dust2 and office are not the only fucking maps in CS/CS: Source, MAKE A REAL MAP ROTATION!



Anyway, my rant is over.



G'nite!

vac is on, but the vacd accounts are not vacd.

[omgomgz]

I have to admit it'd be pretty funny if they somehow lost the VAC ban list.

[m4elite]

It is back to normal now.

But dust2 is one of the only maps worth pubbing on. Office blows, but there's also mill and nuke. That's pretty much it.



No, assault/militia/prodigy/italy/dust/aztec are not decent.
