“Steam is temporarily unavailable, please try again later”. This has been going on for at least 7 hours now. The whole Steam client refuses to start at all, so it’s impossible to play anything in off-line mode either.
I need my TF2 fix!
I’d love to be home and annoyed that steam is down just now.
11:51am.
Office.
damnit.
It’s 16:52 here. :)
Anyway, it seemed to be just another ClientRegistryBlob problem. I can’t figure out how they can’t get that thing fixed. The #1 solution for all Steam problems since the system release seems to be “delete your ClientRegistryBlob”.
They use blobs in computers now?

It’s “down” here too … where’s that Blob thingy stored?
EDIT: nvm … i should have looked first :)
In my experience deleting the blob is usually a prelude to steam not working for 2 weeks. Oh well, here we go…
Edit: OK, so it updated and restarted in 3 minutes. Almost up to Stardock central standards (other then making me manually delete the blob thing).
