VazaGothic Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Ok, just got a response from Steam: Hello, Over the weekend, there was a problem with one of our authentication servers. You may have received the following error message: "Disconnect: This Steam account does not own this game. Please login to the correct Steam account." This issue has since been corrected. Please exit from Steam and delete a file in your Steam directory called: ClientRegistry.blob This file would be in the location: C:\Valve\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob or C:\Program Files\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob (or the directory you installed Steam to). The next time you start Steam it will re-create this file, do a brief update, and then you should be able to connect and play. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue has posed. Please let us know if you have any further questions. I didn't check it yet (I'm at work) - but it may help some of you fix the problem (if it still persists) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/500115-hmm-this-steam-account-does-not-own-this-game/page/2/#findComment-587923704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I got this, sent an email to Valve and got the same response as the previous post to me. I wasn't too worried, really. I knew Valve would swiftly sort it out as soon as they could (was anyone seriously expecting them to work on the weekend?). Played a bit of CS: S today and it seems to be sorted. That's without deleting the .blob file.
