Gonna keep this short because I'm hungry as a mu....

*Bought Driver San Fransisco
*Copied CD Key
*Attempted to start using the CD Key window
*Downloaded/Installed the automatic additional files and updated uPlay.
Steam closes and logs me off, doesnt launch again
*uPlay runs fine, doesnt show Driver SF as a downloaded game
(Here, I went to a uPlay forum to find out where to enter the CD Key and how Steam is affected)
*Turns out I have a common problem caused by some BS between Steam & Ubisoft servers or whatever
*Deleted "appcache" folder per recommendation from forums (stored in a folder on my desktop in-case)
*Restarted PC
*"appcache folder re-appears but only with "httpcache" folder.
No launch
*replaced the files in "appcache" with the old "appcache" files doesn't work
Still no launch
(Searched steam support for atleast an hour to find a fix)
*deleted ClientRegistry.blob & relaunch per forum recommendation
Don't work
I give up, preventing me from murdering the terrible karaoke singer on stage
Please help. Kinda upset


Note: None of my games work via desktop shortcut, expected

Try going into task manager and ending the steam process, if not back up your games, uninstall and reinstall steam

If there's a game download folder copy that to your hard drive somewhere else, and uninstall/reinstall the steam client. Gl

I have no clue what to do. I don't know if this is what is happening, but connecting to minecraft isn't working at all for me. I keep trying minechat too! Nothing works

Minecraft isn't powered by Steam. it may be your network if your trying to connect with minechat by WiFi.

Anywho.. steam is working again :) I guess it fixed itself now i just gotta figure out this CD Key shit

Not just minechat, minecraft also. It wont stop saying "Can't Reach Server" on every server. It's been doing this since Tuesday
