I think Steam is down...

[alrekr]

I just booted up steam and got this message:

Sorry

The Steam Community is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

Error 503 Service Unavailable

XID: 1929898391

Similar message on the Store page

Sorry

The Steam Store is experiencing some heavy load right now. Please try again later.

Error 503 Service Unavailable

XID: 1179407969

So is anyone else getting this? Is it perhaps just in the EU?

*EDIT* Steam is back up now. Still don't know the reason for the down time. *EDIT*

 

[Xpheyel]

Yeah, steampowered.com shows the same error.

 

[pilkman]

Same problem here, managed to get through a few times though

 

[Irridium]

Yeah, Steam's having one of its moments alright. Not sure why though. There isn't a particularly big sale or TF2 update released...

 

[Valanthe]

Hmm, same issue from North America, and here I was thinking it was just my computer being stubborn again.

 

[Lev The Red]

yup, can't get on. steam is all kinds of fucked up, at the moment.

yesterday, after i updated TF2 and the steam client, steam crashed and i haven't been able to launch it since.

And thus the end is here...

I guess the mayans were right after all

Ah well, a little downtime never hurt. :3

 

[gee666]

Wait... Borderlands doesn't start but Skyrim is unaffected?

What kind of sorcery is this?

personally i've noticed it more with the workshop, so not sure if that is it or not, but just stating where most of my "steam is down" issues seem to happen.

bethesda magic.

Its a new dragon shout.

Gabe - getoffa - urfatass. Makes Steam work again.

haha

is it sad that i played the "fus ro dah" jingle in the back of my head when i said that outloud?

 

[alrekr]

I'm not liking the lack of information about this down time...

Has someone attacked the steam servers?

It seems to be back up now. I'm online just fine.
