cant connect to my steam profil

hi !


 


at first , i know its not very the good place for ask this but just let me explain why i post it here ...


 


i cant access to my steam profil, i always receive the 118 error "connection problem, blabla" , my connection work , its perfect, i can connect to the steam  store , my game list, and the steam forum , but i cant access to the community and support , so i cant ask steam about this problem...i have try all solution on the net, nothing work, i can use steam but i cant connect to my profil/community/support..


 


why you not ask the steam forum ? - because for be register in the steam forum, i need link it with my steam account, and i cant make this because all page allowed with my account is down with error 118


 


why not ask steam ? - because i cant access to the support, and i not have found any other way for send mail to steam :(


 


i can install my game and play, make integrity verif etc.. its very crazy, i didnt know what do , i already have uninstall/reinstall steam 5 time (correctly with all deleting etc..like mentionned on some internet thread)


 


i cant access to it with internet browser (Ie,mozilla,maxthon,chrome) and i cant access to it with the steam browser itself too :(


 


i have see in my steam profil i have 60 game, but i have try to look at my profil with account of my friend and i see 90 game !?! wtf ?!? my account have be hacked ?? if yes, what i can do ? send message to steam...but how??


 


its really crazy, i didnt know what i can do , i not want create another new account (can you imagine the money used for all the game ? i not want lose all of this)


 


i not think its an hack, as long i can use my steam normally for play...an hack probably try to change the account name/password/mail etc... so i think its an proxy/internet something like this...but idk what i can do and nothing in the net help me, all the answer turn to steam support....if somebody know what i can do , please thanks for your help.. :(


 


once again, remember, dont wast time with the steam support answer..i cant access to the support in any way :(

Go to you Steam folder and delete everything apart from the Steam.exe and the Steamapps folder.


 


Then double click the Steam.exe and Steam will rebuild itself. This should reset everything and keep your games.


 


You should now be able to see your profile.


 


 


Just send Steam a support ticket through the website and not the Steam browser in the Steam application.

I had a similar problem a couple of days ago (although I couldn't access any of the web pages through Steam; I could see my library just fine). What worked for me is exiting Steam (right-click on the icon on the taskbar and click on exit) and then starting it back up again. I think I had to do this twice before it worked.

After reading about it for a bit it could be your IP most likely has been banned. Sadly the only way to fix it is to contact support.


 


If you have a friend with Steam you might get away with asking them to contact Support and explain the situation to them.

wait ??? banned from steam ?? banned my IP ?? why ? thats strange O_O


 


i can play my game and play on steam server without any problem and all... my VAc is ok and all (i not cheat , only with skyrim, sometime the consol command ^^) but thats very strange, if i was banned, i shouldnt have access to my game , play online and play on steam server ...wow


 


ok, i go talk with a friend and see if he can do something, but i doubt of this, steam probably ask for credit card number and all like that.. : /

it could of been a glitch or your ISP changing your IP every few days, some one got the IP banned and then it was given to you.

Too little, too late. I would have suggested unplugging your modem's power and the coaxial cable, wait 10 or so seconds, then plug it all back in. If your ISP issues dynamic IPs, this process would hard-reset it and you would be issued another IP. But now he's gone and reinstalled the whole OS. :(

Considering they said "This E-mail address is no longer being monitored" I would say that your email was used for a spamming attempted. That would lead to a ban.
