Steam Hit by "No Connection" Error Worldwide, Some Users Locked Out Completely - 12/25/2012

WOW THIS SUCKS.

I got this issue D:

CS:GO - Annoyingly I can load up games and even see active servers to join, but lobby fails to let me in as 'no connection' - wtf steam, sort it out :/

Netflix down at the same time? I'd say it's more than a steam issue.

I knew I should've turned Steam Cloud off last night while playing the Witcher 2 since I started to have connection issues with the cloud saves. Now I know why...and now I can't even continue where I left off (25 hours in).

I'm also half-way done with some Steam games I was planning on playing later (which I actually bought from Amazon and Gamefly since Steam's holiday sale is less-than-spectacular this year), but....yeah...great...so much for my day off >:0

guess I'm one of the "lucky" ones because I can open steam. However, all my games are online multiplayer...

I'm trying to connect more than an hour! and still cant connect! I have 2 or maybe 3 hours to decharge! after work! and steam does NOT let me!

Yeah, this happened to me; thankfully it just came back about five minutes ago.

Steam can take your money just fine, what do they care if you can't play your games properly, suckas? Typical Valve.

Steam has and always will suck. Just causes problems, at the beginning although you purchased a game in-store you had to re-download from their servers taking hours and now having installed the game a few days ago I am not able to play because Steam´s servers can´t take the load. Great thing to invest in a full priced game so others can decide when you can play it. Who needs this middle-man. No more Steampowered games for me thankyou!!!!

it's up now

OH GOD, STEAM WAS PARTIALLY DOWN FOR 20 MINUTES!

THE END IS NIGH! THE NEWELL CANNOT SAVE YOU!

Flamebait article. Small 10-30 minute Steam downtimes have happened before, and I didn't even notice this one. Really not a big deal. Steam consistently has such absurdly good prices and a great service (imo), that I really don't mind if there are a few hiccups.

This is nothing compared to Origin. It took me a whole month of work to get back my hacked Origin account. 20 min of Steam downtime is nothing, really! Anyway, where else can you get all those cheap, cheap games? Steam.

This was not an isolated issue. Netflix was also affected by the internet outage yesterday. Amazon AWS is to blame. Not Valve.

I can't buy any games only play games and talk with friends

I have been clobbered by this and have not been able to play any of my STEAM games for the whole Christmas break.....totally stinks!!

I got this error today... Frikkin Valve

I've just been hit by the error, and it's the second of January! So much for getting it fixed I guess. -.- Don't know what I'm going to do about this problem...

Steam is bipolar, its fantastic most of the time but when it fails it fails hard.

well I don't know about some of you, but I am having major probs with steam, I had to re-install my os and now I have to download everything again and steam update keeps taking hours to download, when it finally does it does not connect, keeps saying server problem check internet connection, which is bollox as MOH is working perfectly fine, so my new BO2 is sitting on the side collecting dust what crap, I thought I would treat myself this Christmas to BO2 and I haven't even been able to play it, and what's with the "have to download from steam" crap about, you buy a game you install it then you play it yes? no, you buy a game you put the first CD in and then, ooow look it starts to down load from steam...WTF, as I have a slow connection anyway as I live In the middle of no where, BO, BO2, CODMW2 and all the other games I have CD'S! for I have to down load, this is bollox it should not be this way, it should be install game on PC then download updates as normal, then register your game into steam how fkn hard is that? steam sucks and is making other peoples lives hell they are MAKING you go through steam its like another form of communism only steam holds the reigns on what you buy and how to play it fkn bull steam, I hate you with a vengeance that can only be described as hateful, the only decent games are CONTROLLED by steam now, and if you cant connect or it takes so long to download they have brought another version of the game out before it completes.....yes they do suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just then at 11:57 am 9/01/13 i was playing black ops 2 and then i got diconected and told i needed to be sighned in to dteam online and steam wont let me

12th Jan 2013- Error keeps flying up. I have some spare time between work and assignments and I finally get a free hour and I spend it trying to resolve this issue. FFS!

It's not resolved for me :(

Issue still Around about every two hours approx

Not resolved...

Well, one of my accounts has the "No Connection" at the bottom. The other account works fine. Wtf Steam. Its April, and its still not fixed?

This isn't fixed...
