Other Ways to Say...

Found this on Facebook and well, being a writer, knowing more than 1 way to express something is very important, so I'm "keeping" it here for easy reference :P

Enjoy!

FIX: Could not connect to Steam network error

To cut a long story short, if your internet connection is not blocked in any way (such as by your ISP or your computer firewall), I've found 2 ways that work so far.

The first way worked once and then it didn't, while the other... well, let's just say that's a work in progress. I'll need to check again tomorrow to see if this 2nd Fix is more permanent than the first method.

Method 1

1. Go to Program Files OR Program Files (x86) -------- Steam ---------- delete the "userdata" folder OR if you like, you could rename or shift it to the desktop or something as backup
2. Restart Steam

Method 2 (Update: It's a permanent fix... yay!)

1. Go to Run (Start Menu --------- Run OR right click on "Start Menu" and then "Run")
2. Type in steam://flushconfig and press Enter
3. The flushing managed to boot up my Steam and I finally was able to log in.

Hopefully, these methods help! I'll see if I can get more methods in short of reinstalling Steam, which you could try as well.

Have fun gaming! :)

What are the signs that you are wasting your life?

Take a screenshot from Quora since I find it meaningful in a way :)

...Exactly!!!

I just love prowling around on Quora, there are so many interesting people there sharing their experience.... some of which are experiences that I will probably not be able to get - such as being a forensic scientist with the police force heh :P 

If you love reading about things.... any meaningful or helfpul stuff, Quora is definitely one of the places to go to. It's amazing what you can learn there!
