Steam - Error

[The Yeti]

"This game is currently unavailable. Please try again at another time."

But I see Jedi, Air-nith, and underlord on. :frown:

I've gotten this. It was fixed by trying again at another time.

Other than that, no suggestions.

haha, figured as much, i just posted because I've never seen this before, and as frustrating as it is, it's kind of funny

Happens to me a lot. Either restart the computer or play another game. I only get it when something stupid happens like it crashes or Steam is updating or some other abnormality.

Happens to me a lot as well. Restarting STEAM always works for me, either that or you wait a while or restart your entire computer.

Had it happen to me once while i was wanting to play CS:S man did i flip out, but i was also having the "Error verifying steam ticket" i think its steams way of saying "get a life" sometimes.....Pssshh like they know about such things....

Yeah, now I get it every other time I start up steam. Really annoying, I'm gonna post on insmod.net and see if they have any support. Will post back here if i get an answer.

I think it's more a problem with Steam, the same way that hl2.exe always crashes when you exit the game.

Funny that you mention that, because ever since I've had this problem hl2.exe has been crashing upon exit. However, I have the same bug with TF2, yet I can start it up at anytime. I only get this particular steam error on INS. Furthermore, I've noticed another strange thing which is probably more related than the hl2.exe bug. When I use steam chat it says I'm in-game even when I'm not. So perhaps steam is not registering that I have exited INS; therefore, it won't let me open up a "second" instance.

 

[a pet rock]

Yup, that's I figure too. It thinks you're still in-game so it says "Hell no you can't play now! You're already playing!"

On a side note: typing with one hand sucks.

I know how you can solve that,everytime when you quit and it says that you're still in game,press crtl+alt+delete which will open up window task manager,then go to process,and look for hl2.exe,then press end process,which by then on steam,would show that you are no longer in game anymore!

If it is a steam problem then go to there website (steampowered.com) download the installer (its the get steam no button) then open it up and click on repaire you may have to restart the compurter after its done. If it had any problems before it should be fixed now. I have done this a couple of times because I have had lots of troble with steam in the past(2 or 3 weeks ago).
