Steam error

Hunter · 09-25-2007, 05:58 PM

Hey guys, I was trying to join the server earlier and I got this message:

"Disconnect: Error verifying STEAM UserID Ticket."

Then I tried to join a server in Team Fortress 2 and got the same error.
Got any ideas on how to fix this?
- I read somewhere that I should delete a file called "ClientRegistry.blob" or something like that, but I'm not sure...

Thanks in advance

Did you search the steampowered forums yet? There are tons of entries on this very problem.

Problem: this happened to me about every two minutes. It would disconnect me for "No Steam Logon" repeatedly. I deleted everything but Steam.exe and steamapps/ from the Steam directory, which didn't help. I reinstalled, which didn't help.

Solution: It eventually just stopped happening, but it was very frustrating. It appears to be Steam's fault, because Steam Community was down all day too.

sounds like you've been teh el h4xx0r3d. Either that or you left your login info saved on a PC in a LAN center somewhere.

i was able to fix this by just logging out and back in again. Hope everyone else is able to sort this out.

No, I don't think you understand. The problem stopped.
