VazaGothic Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Did anyone ever have a problem with STEAM (legal version) which results in the message (while playing DoD: Source) and a disconnect later ? "This Steam account does not own this game." I stress the fact that I have a LEGAL version of the game (can even prove it to some unbelievers - I still have the picture of the transaction confirmation) but the message suggests that STEAM thinks I have illegal one. Everything worked perfectly for the last 2 years - and now this .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG86 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Try logging out of your steam account and exit steam. Open steam and log back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonhead Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I never got that message. Although I got kicked off of steam for various other reasons. "Someone is using your account", "Could not verify your account", "Unknown error!" FUN (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerowen Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I'm starting to get worried about my Steam account. I dual boot Windows and Linux, and have Half Life installed on both, legally. Recently though it started saying, "This account has been used on another computer, please re-enter your login details". I wonder if this will cause any issues later.

VazaGothic Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 I've tried once more and was able to play DoD:S for a few hours. Not sure if it won't happen again on another server. I wonder if it's a server issue or client's issue or Steam's database fault (as GuJu mentioned). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawx Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) Steam forums and EsportsEA forums are full of this same error. It's going around. It's not just you guys.
