Steam Problem (yes another one)

[Armenum]

Everytime I click to launch ETW, steam says that the game is unavailable and I should try later. Which is ridiculous because I paid for the game and I deserve to play it whenever I want. ETW has been working perfectly until now. What should I do?

Become a baron? But you should reinstalling steam, a complete wipe out, including deleting the folder at %appdata% steam (put it in the search bar.

So won't I then have to re-download all my games?

[karamazovmm]

afaik no you won't

I just uninstalled it and am reinstalling now, but I have to re-download! I though that wouldn't be necessary

[karamazovmm]

I uninstalled steam, then installed it, then re-downloaded ETW and it still pops up with that message!!

Using a router?

Using a router?

Yes I am. I don't think it's because of the internet though because my other games on steam work fine. I did all the things that steam support suggests and it's still the same. Can't believe this, it was working perfectly fine until now.

Routers and Empire have not been friends before. You might want to do research it before just dismissing it out if hand.

I'll try connecting my computer directly to the box, see what happens. I'll let you know.

[Armenum]

I connected my computer directly to internet box and it still doesn't work and keeps saying that the game is not available! This is so frustrating, what should I do?

Then it is a Steam problem. Contact their support. If you can log in but can't play, they don't have enough servers, of which the business they are in to me is unacceptable.

with great reluctance I guess I'll have to contact them. I means Steam is just ridiculous. They deny a paying customer access to playing a game for over a month!!

You think I should open a port or something through the router? My other games work though on steam. How can steam not have enough servers?? I'm a paying customer and they can't do this.

See the thing is it doesn't give me error 83. Just everytime I try to launch it, it first says preparing to launch then pops up with a dialog box saying that "The game is not currently available. Please try again next time"

Tell Steam to buy more servers. Their servers are full at that site. Go through their list and try another one. By default I get San Jose but last time I ended up taking Seattle's to get in.


Did you try the new client just in case?

I went to File > Check for steam client updates, and it said that everything was up to date. Is there a place where I can download this new client?

I've tried change my server locations by going to Download locations, but still now luck. I'll keep you updated.
