The latest update seems to have broken steam. It's not just you, I went on the steam forums and a lot of people seem to be having this, if not all.

Windows Steam On Mac

No games can be launched Steam won't even shut down properly because it won't connect to steam cloud. This is a perfect example of why I don't like that games are tied to steam.

One problem with the service and you can't play any games. R4gn4r0k I don't think that's a legitimate 'perfect example' because these problems happen extremely rarely, a perfect example would be a service like Steam going down regularly for extended periods of time.

Theafiguy Still it only has to occur once and when all your games that you want to play are on steam you are royally screwed. I try to avoid services like steam and GFWL where you are tied to the service because when something goes wrong with the service you can't acces any games. But sometimes there is no other option. If I had the choice I certainly wouldn't tie my games to a certain service even though it has definit advantages (steam cloud, automatic updates) Would you?

Hm tried to launch a couple of games here and not having any problems on my end. Now before I get attacked and accused of being some sort of 'steam fanboy' I am merely posting to show that not everyone is having the problem. I was wondering if anyone could name a specific game that isn't working, I have tried valve games and non-valve games and everything is working as it should be. Charmingcharlie When it wasn't working for me, there were some ppl playing, all kind of games, from mass effect 2, skyrim to team fortress and css. So yeah, not everybody got the problem.

Charmingcharlie Skyrim, Demolition inc, Bastion (thanks Steam, I also lost my save for this one), CS:S, DoD:S, TF 2, Anomaly Warzone Earth, Fallout NV, MW 3 SP/MP, Defense Grid, Dungeon Defenders, Dirt 3, Dota 2, Just Cause 2, Lara Croft, Magicka, MoW Assault Squad, Orcs Must Die, Overlord 2, Rage, Renegade Ops, Rock of Ages, Sonic Generations, Worms Golf, Worms Reloaded, Worms Ultimate Mayhem, in short, all the games I tried today, I have tenths of others installed on Steam, but I doubt at least one of them will work.
