damn steam Thread

every time i try 2 play a game with steam i need 2 register another cd-key... wtf should i do?

Buy the damn games instead of downloading them? Lol, if you have problems, visit the Steam Forums www.steampowered.com

lol i bought the game.... i need a cd-key or something but i already registerd 1

Moved to Technical Support.

Steam forums is probably a good place to seek help, I saw a few topics about this issue there, so go and look @ www.steampowered.com..

Yeah dont get too happy when you fix it, there well be plenty more problems to come...

lol hope thats not with my steam

find you f*cking old account you registered your CD-Keys on... or don't get CD keys of the fucking internet!

Like what?

Ive been using Steam since the initial beta and apart from some breaking in bandwith issues at major patches its been fine.

Like getting the steam files corrupted somehow - reinstalling steam 3 times - over and over downloading 600mb big cs:cz - and getting 5 days lost because of this.

I still think that steam is okay, but when it comes to errors and bugs this is the most annoying and time-eating program ever.

U_U... always the same song...

i start to hate people to consider others 'idiots' (not that you said it but a lot do in that situation).

i know both sides: steam working and not working. and saying it can't be that it doesn't work is really... crap. linux would only be a fraction of it's power if all would think like that >_<

hmm, I guess me and millions are lucky then, Ive never had any problems

The truth is that Steam is very "sensitive" on other applications running on your system, like tweaks, firewalls and so on. If you're running a clean system which covers the system requirements you shouldn't have any problems.

Corrupted Steam files? If you mean installation file, then it's a common IE problem with downloading from some servers.

Steam is a good program - handy and easy to use.. but it still needs some work; as every application, it sometimes doesn't behave correctly. Nearly every issue is covered in steam help & forums; you just have to look.

i already tried 2 reinstall it but it doesnt work it just keeps saying i need a cd-key(yes i have the game and a cd-key)

Give us the exact error message you get.

I havent had any problems running Valve games and mods but when it comes to other mods... I am totally screwed I have the specialists, NS, PVK, Battlegrounds, and Hammy-Bob mod. and they are all named hammy-bob mod... I did everything I could think of and even contacted technical support and did what they told me and nothing worked

it isnt a error i just cant register a cd-key(second time: yes i have hl and a legal cd-key)

that's how it's supposed to work. You cannot register a CD key to more that one account to prevent piracy.

you can give someone your steam account and they can downloda HL2 though

although they then cannot play it without your password.

I know, I think its legal aswell
all your doing is letting them borrow it, becuase you cannot play it while they are ,

anyway, im letting cheapy borrow it atm, to try it (ofcourse I changed my password ) so its one we both know

If you registered this key already than go to steam and retreive an old account and put in something that you might remember of it....

'let me say it in a different way: you just bought hl(you never played it and dont have a steam account) you download steam, make a account, register the cd-key but it just keeps saying you need 2 register a cd-key.
thats what i got
