My account no longer exists according to STEAM

WTF

i want to play HL2 DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

note that i sent to Valve

"Hello, i have been using steam ever since CS 1.6 came out, i purchased the STEAM silver edition on 10/10/2004 16:03:39. I have an email you sent me confirming this, plus visa information that the transaction went through. I played on STEAM without any problem untill today. After i had preloaded it, i quit steam and restarted my computer, it wanted me to log in manually rather than automatically, so i did, but then it told me that i could not connect to the steam network. I was playing Day of Defeat earlier without any problem and did not have any trouble. So, i figured i would get it to reset my password, so i go into steam to get it to reset my password and it says that my account (deleted) does not exist. What is the deal? I want to play Half Life 2 and it wont let me after i had preloaded it and bought it and everything.......

can you guys help me resolve this?"
 
dont hate valve. i just ended my 5 hour HL2 stint, and i am awed, its not only the best looking game EVER, its hella fun, tops off hl1 🙂
 
Did you see my problem with Steam, Schadenfroh? Messed up! Boy, just when I thought it looked like they had their sh!t together (aside from some expected slowness of the servers)...

I feel bad for the people who bought the CD/DVD version and have to wait 20-80 minutes just to create a Steam account, though. That's pretty lame 🙁 .
 
The problem often is often residued between the keboard and the monitor.....

j/k 😉

Sorry to hear man......

Same here ! Lots ofpeople are experiencing this.

Look in your C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\errorlogs folder:

Error:Steam error: SteamProcessCall(Login)(0xab000d,0x19efc04,0x19efd0c) failed with error 200: Failed to find Master AuthenticationServer


Function trace:


 
LOL, I just replied to the offical thread about me installing it. I got to finish the steam set up account part and boom! Winsocket error connection reset by peer . I'll just keep redoing it, but wow, what a pain in the ass.
 
I read over on the IGN boards that apparently Vivendi bought Steam and that today there was a server modification after noon (presumably by Vivendi). Regardless, this afternoon is when all of these problems started to happen...
 
Took me almost 2 hrs from when I loaded the first disc til I was playing, I just kept Hammering away at their servers until they took my reg and unlocked the game. G/L
 
ok...so I created an account but now when I go to play it, it takes me back to steam. Argh and now my registration key is invalid? *pissed*
 
Since I got home I have not beend able to log into steam. Its says that there is either a problem with my connection or steam is down. Since I played just fine this morning and I am typing this right now I am gonna guess its something wrng with Steam.... I hope this gets fix soon though. Its BS that I can't play HL2 a single player game because something is wrong with the steam network IMO.

Hope ya get it straightened out with Valve, Schadenfroh. I fired it up this morning before work and played around with the physics for about 10 minutes. Amazing. In fact, I'm going to go play for a bit.

Can someone please tell me that it only has to unlock the gaming files once in the beginning and it wont take 10 minutes before each new load of the game?
