<div class="IPBDescription">what a surprise</div> i write this here because i can't get in to www.steampowered.com (surprise again)
ok, ns crashed, so i "ended the program". i had to restart steam. now the problems began.
i couldn't get "online" with steam, so it started in the offline mode. I could see the status of my favourite servers (but i couldn't search for servers), so I tried to join. I couldn't, because of some problem with Steam ID. ok, now I tried not just to "exit" steam, but to "exit and logout". NOW when I start steam, it says it can't connect to the steam network, but it can't run the offline mode, since I'm not logged on. and I can't log on if steam isn't "online". <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> (or should it be <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
well that's my problem.
I hope I can play again soon.

I have the same problem. The email verification is impossible if steam doesn't start. And i also have problem with the email verification. <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Since this morning's update was released, the Steam network has been overloaded, causing many Steam users to be unable to login.
Until the Steam content servers are able to catch up with demand, some users will continue to experience slowness or unresponsiveness from the Steam client. We've been making some changes to the content servers today to accelerate this recovery, and we expect conditions to improve quite a bit by tomorrow morning.
Thanks, again, for your patience after this update.
