I downloaded Steam and was able to register a account. But later on when I try to connect to steam it keeps telling me it cannot connect to steam network because I am not connected to the internet(which I am). Can anyone help me in detail please? Also I took down my firewall but that didnt help t all.

aside from the good 'ol "reboot your system", sometimes installing the windows version of firefox into the same bottle helps steam with connectivity issues.

How would I be able to do this? I'm sorry I am not very familiar with the program. Thank you for the help.

Hi,

I am having the same problem, I have installed firefox in my Steam bottle and the issue is still not resolved. I have a macBook pro with parallels and winXP installed and Steam will connect there so there is no network issue.

Sometimes the Steam servers in your region are down.

Another common trick is to delete ClientRegistry.blob in the directory where Steam is installed.

Same problem here on Fedora 9. I was able to connect up until yesterday. On Sidux for some reason, I have no problem. It may or may not be a coincidence that there were a large number of updates from Fedora yesterday (though most seemed to relate to KDE 4.1, which wouldn't seek likely to effect Steam).

As you've seen from other posts, this may or may not work, but to do so you would download the .exe of firefox for windows to your desktop (or downloads folder, or what-have-you). Then go to Crossover's install software menu. Select the "install unsupported software" route. Select the bottle containing steam, and then browse to select the firefox installer.

Stefan has informed me that the firefox trick pretty much just applies to issues with the Steam store. Please see his comment about the ClientRegistry.blob file.

I had the same problem for the first time today, but deleting the ClienRegistry.blob fixed everything!

Thanks!

Well, deleting ClientRegistry.blob worked for me, too. Thanks...

Ok so trying the delete the ClientRegistry.blob, but I cannot find it on my Hard Drive. The only way I see it is if I click the run command from CrossOver, but I cannot delete just try to run it. How do I delete it? Sorry for bugging so much I really would like to get this program working. Thank you.

You can find the bottles C:\ drive in ~/Library/Application Support/CrossOver Games/Bottles/<bottle name>/drive_c on macos, or ~/.cxgames/<bottle name>/drive_c . '~' means your home directory

Thanks! I finally got it running again, but I cant even purchase games. When I try to purchase any game it just highlights the purchase icon and thats all :/

worked for me too. damn u ClientRegistry.blob <<<file contains herpes.
