We are planning to update the Steam servers today, Tuesday October 18, 2011 around 16:30 PDT (GMT-0730). Chat, game lobbies, and the community web site will be affected. Content downloads and game play should not be affected. There's some database maintenance and system updates that we'll be applying, but we'll try to keep downtime as short as possible.

Welp I cant log in... one im not already logged in, friend told me i wasnt, two i restarted steam and my whole computer.

So yeah Theres a problem here because obviously im not the only one...

The title says it all, steam says there was a problem authenticating steam... getting tired of this.

I was joining into a game which then got DC or something but hen says i am logged in some where else. iI exit spiral knights and steam logged back in same thing appeared user is logged in somewhere else. but asked a friend it says im still logged in on the same level?

I'm having this problem where nearly every time a group of monster spawns (and occasionally at random point) my client will freeze for 1 or 2 seconds and my control will lock and I'll keep doing whatever Im doing, which usually lead to running into shadowfire in fsc or getting cornered by enemies.

Are there any fixes that might stop this hiccup? It's gotten me killed more times then I can count.

And yes, I have my video settings low and I'm not running any other programs that might take up too much ram.

ok, so im trying to get steam's spiral knights to run on this system i just revived from the grave by formatting the hardrive and installing ubuntu10.10 on it....everything works fine..ive updated everything included java etc, and when i try to run steam with wine it runes fine...then when i load spiral knights...it gets to the logging in screen with steam account then shuts off the program, steam will still be running but spiral knights will crash..any help or suggestions?

And this time, restarting steam isn't working. What's going on?

steam is telling me that spiral knights is currently unavailable? it must be a steam problem though, because i know my friend is on right now who isn't playing through steam.

I convinced my friend to try spiral knights and he decided to create his account on my laptop and play on here first to try if he likes it or not. I decided to ask my girlfriend to give it a try to and she said yes as long as i do the technical stuff since she's not good with that. I tried logging onto the account i made for her on here and it says that the computer cannot make more than 2 free accounts. Is there a way to get rid of my friend's account registration or whatever on my laptop?

I am having extremely bad lag issues only on Floor 16 of any Roarmulus Twins Gate.
I have no problems in any other gate or floor. It is not a connection problem because I am consistently at 4 bars.

Basically what happens is the game freezes every 2 seconds for 2 seconds for the entire level.
It does not happen on floor 15, nor on floor 17 of the Roarumuls Twins Gate. Only on floor 16.

My computer has a first generation i7 CPU, with a GT540 Nvidia Card, 8 GB RAM.
