Ok... I stopped playing NS at aroudn 9:07 pm tonight... and now at 10:15 pm I am no longer able to connect to the STEAM servers... no error mnessage or anything... it just doesn't do anything, doesn't lock, doesnt' freeze (as far as XP's task manager can tell)


Everything seems to be just fine except that it cannot log in... just keeps trying without anythign happening 0o;

hmm yeah... i can log onto steam, but when i click on natural selection it tells me the game is temporarily unavailable.

wewt for patches not working!


Wow... I just checked the STEAM server stats... around 90% of their bandwidth is in use right now 0o;

Same with me. I'm getting a message stating the game is temporarily unavailable.

yepp same here(unavailable)

works now

It just keeps connecting....

I WANNA PLAAAY :'(

<edit>
Wow after 10 minuts it logged in _0_
</edit>

Yup bandwith trouble I guess:

*Bash!*

Congrats to Valve for making a software they cannot even support.

Piece of sh... er... cookies baked with flowery thoughts.

and then people are wondering why we hate steam :S:S

still the same. website is down too :S:S

yea I had that problem too and not 10 minutes ago but after I had my lunch shower and tried again it started working again ( it's lunch here and I gotta run)

damn my foolishness why did I logg out?!

Aaaaah, must...play...ns....O.o

It did the same thing to me just now - so I shut it down with task manager. Afterwards I managed to get in after a few seconds. Just one of those quirks, I guess.

man i've been nsless for 24 hours WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i'm going insane:@:@:@:@ steam :@:@:@:@

same prob here, something logged me out, and now steam cant reach any servers. (this happend soon after my last steam update)

WAAGH OMG R@mPaGE!!!!!11

Bah come on peeps you must have something else to play

Go complete an epic single player game (Deus Ex)
Play a MMORPG (COH)
Play a RPG (NWN)

Or you could always go out into the real world lol instead of moaning about steam.

well, got mine to update....

now, game starts, that music i had turned off plays, and the buttons dont appear. i left it doing this for an hour, hoping it would eventually come up. never did. im gonna reinstall NS. hopefully that may make it work.

steam dies all the time, then it comes back, its a problem, how many lives does it has

:\ gameshark

i reinstalled NS. no effect.

cs, dod, tfc, dmc, even ricohet work, just not NS.

before steam done all this crap, i made a small modifycation to ns. downloaded a new lmg model and followed the install instructions precisely.

i thought that might have caused it, so i uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, tryed it again, no effect. gonna try deleting my clientregistery.blob
ill give back news as soon as i have it.

hehe.. well at first it was my NS that wasn't working... now steam decided to die on me too. blarg. Thank god we have something called real life in case something like this happens eh? hehe.

AHHHHHH it doesn't work again steam you [censored]

PS. if steam is down does that affect just playing single player?

I did have same problem but its working now. Bit of taskmanager fidling and ASE having a whack at running steam and it worked after updating both steam and HL and CS.

But im in Australia.

STEAM was running all servers at over 100% capacity the past 24 hours... no wonder!
