There seems to be a Steam server outage going on atm, some reporting they cannot login.

Valve said it's affecting their games too. It's being worked on.

That's why #DRM is bad. You can't play a single game without passing their login servers

@schmaker @rotopenguin yes, but you don't have to pass the login server *right now* (during an outage) if you follow those directions. (people don't seem to be understanding that.)

Sorry, new computer. Was downloading all the games again. I'll postpone it to later tonight.

@rotopenguin @r0k @schmaker no, just temporary deactivate network and start steam - offline mode. But there are some games that require permanent online, these will obviously not work. I played over months without a connection

Perhaps people prepped this when Steam was online before the current outage. Perhaps once Steam works again, people can prep for a future Steam outage.

Okay, I had no idea about disconnected network trick. Good point

I managed to get back into Steam on Linux using the -tcp command-line argument.

Based on the bug reports, it seems to be something to do with a WebSocket server somewhere going offline, I think.
