pinkmonster Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hey! I bought retail copy of CS: GO today and decided to install it on my PC. Only to find that Steam isn't installing the game. I thought there was something wrong with the CD so I tried installing it through the internet but again, not installing. I find out that it is not installing or updating any game. I redeemed my game just fine and am able to do almost everything that I can think of right now, except install/download/update any game. Even the ones pre-installed. Check out this screenshot Now, I haven't really used Steam much because for the past 1 month, my internet was practically dead. I changed to a new ISP (Spectranet) and today was the first day I connected the machine (through a wifi receiver) to the new internet. Could that be the issue? I am able to download torrents and all though. I also deleted clientregistery dot blob file but nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phreak Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Refresh your Steam files presuming windows Completely exit the Steam client. Open the run dialogue by pressing windows key + r (you can also navigate here from the start menu by typing run). Type steam://flushconfig then press enter. (If asked to allow this website to open a program, please click Allow or OK). Restart your computer. Now, launch Steam directly from the installation folder, not from a pre-existing shortcut (~C:\program files (x86)\Steam). The Steam application will either appear as Steam or Steam.exe depending on whether your settings show file extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven Angel Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Delete all files from steam folder except steam.exe and steamapps folder. Restart PC Run steam.exe It should remove old files and update automatically. Report back. _ Also, change download region to US and see. Steam -> settings -> downloads -> download region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkmonster Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 antivirus blocking steam maybe? Microsoft Essentials. Also it isn't blocking. I'll check out what the others have shared. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkmonster Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I downloaded some software which checks whether ports are open and it says the ports required by Steam (27015) are not open. Do I need to contact my ISP? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkmonster Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Connected PC with MTNL (haven't disconnected yet) and steam is working fine. Guess need to forward ports. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkmonster Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Okay, so, after 2 days of beating my head to the wall, I have been able to figure out this: Steam is working fine on my sister's laptop. It is my DLink DWA 132 USB Wifi Adapter that is giving me troubles. Does anyone know what to do about this? Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow storm Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Are you using steam beta ?, trying opting out of it , if not try opting for it. Also can you try shifting your steam directory , if it's installed in38 gb partition shift it to the 200 gb one or vice versa . You could try this https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3134-TIAL-4638 Windows XP/Vista/7/8 Completely exit the Steam client. Open the run dialogue by pressing windows key + r (you can also navigate here from the start menu by typing run). Type steam://flushconfig then press enter.

It doesn't work on either my desktop or on my sister's laptop through the USB dongle. If I directly download through wifi on the laptop, steam works fine. The dongle works fine if I connect it to my MTNL connection instead. I have called Spectranet people and they will see if they can resolve any issue from their side. But I highly doubt it. It seems I will have to buy a new dongle only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
