1UP Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Steam is being really gay now. About a month ago, I opened up steam and didn't work. I dunno why, just never loaded. The steam window never opened. But it said it was running in the background. I just left steam for a few weeks. Then it started working, but said updating, and it stayed on 0%. Then after 5 mins an error came up saying you do not have Steam.dll So i uninstalled it and installed again. Same thing happens. I then uninstalled and installed it again. Same thing. Then I tell my friend to send me the Steam.dll file on msn. He did. I put it in the Steam folder (thats where its meant to go). And now I get this error Steam.exe (main exception): Unable to start Steam Engine: *SteamStartEngine(0x12e8x8) failed with error 201: Cannot perform this operation while offline I am connected to the internet. I also searched on steampowered.com's support section... heres some pics: help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I've been getting that as well, not recently though actually... It finally let me update though, so I dont know how to fix it other than by just waiting. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jordan Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Naw, Steam 3 is quite good. Takes up alot less CPU time than Steam 2 ever did, looks alright too. On demand updates = genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 At this point in the movie, the black guy gets eaten and the entire Steam system subsequently explodes. Now only Superman can save us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
