Steam Logging Out

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

So I have been in contact with Valve over a problem, and they can't seem to figure it out.

The past little while my Steam Community page keeps logging me out, randomly at different times. And also when I refresh the Steam Store once in awhile it shows no images or anything and says I need to update Flash.

Now I have been using Steam without issue since 2005, nothing has changed to start this problem. I have the latest flash, and I use Firefox as default. Valve said for me to use IE as default and see what happens, but I am not because I have been using Firefox as default for ever without issue with Steam.

So I ask you guys, have any of you had issues with Steam logging you out of the Community, or anything related? What did you do? Any ideas?

Is it possible that you may have a friend or family member with Steam on their computer and have your password saved as well as auto-login enabled? That's all I can think of.

One family member on another computer does use Steam but I have never signed in on that computer. And once steam is running, its not really suppose to be a log in and out thing is it? The community tab.. I also just noticed that I can have the Friends Chat Window open and online, but the Community Tab has me logged out.

I get the steam community logging me out every once in a while too, it just randomly happens when i press tab it asks me to login to steam community. only me use my pc no one else at all touches it or uses it just me, never logged out of steam and logged into other accounts i only used my account and this has just randomly started happening to me too.

Well its getting annoying. And they can't seem to figure it out.

Well its like the steam friends, that seems to be going down for maintainance alot, i get d/c'd alot from that. i guess they might be working on the community and the people on the phone don't know about it.

It seems more weird then just down for maintainance, but I hope it is that so that it will stop soon.

I don't know if this will help or not, but it seems to solve many random issues with Steam.

Close Steam and go to the Steam directory and delete the ClientRegistry.blob file. Reopen Steam and it will update and then ask you to login..

Hopefully that might fix your problem..

Thanks for that tip, I have known it for awhile.

Actually when Valve was trying to help me they told me to delete everything except for Steam.exe and the Steamapps folder, which I did and the issue still happens.

What usually happens is steamfriends will go offline then VAC will happens alot mainly at night time for us in the UK =/

Try deleting clientregistry.blob. It's normally is the solution to everyone's problem.

edit: didn't read it properly, but does it log you out after alot of time after you've logged into steam?

It's random, sometimes awhile later, sometimes within minutes.

sounds like you've tried everything except completely uninstalling steam and reinstalling. it might be worth it.

i've never encountered your problem though.

Yea I am starting to think I have too, it's just I have 80 games with Steam, and most installed. I am thinking maybe once you hit a certain number with Steam it starts to freak out.
