Steam Logging Out


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

Proberly a steam problems.

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.

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.

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
