Steam has multiple content hosting servers around the world, and it's common during high-traffic times that one or two doesn't work very well. Normally I switch my download location to czech republic or new zealand if I have troubles downloading something
The problem is otherwise, i cant even login into my account. And you need your account to be able to contact helpdesk, so its the chicken/egg, egg/chicken problem. On top of that they introduced Captcha for the logins and this particular version is almost impossible to read. And even if i do find one that is readable after some 8 to 10 refresh Captcha and i type over what it says, than it keeps telling me the Captha is wrong.
Than all mails sent to my ISP doesnt arive, either its blocked by Steam or my ISP is blocking Steam no clue which one it is. Which means i cant create a new account because i dont receive the conformation mails and even if i do i cant fill in the Captcha conformation.
I understand, being an admin myself you want to block out spam, but not in such a manner it makes a cleint impossible to contact the helpdesk let alone they make it impossible to buy a game i want.
If it wasnt for the fact i need both versions from both companies i would have stuck with GOG. At least they have open lines where you simply can fill in a complaint on the website without passwords, logins, Captha and tons of rediculous other poop.
I am not lying, after a full day of work i was able to fill in a complaint, and even there i got stuck. Thinking finally i am there, they ask me to choose the type of problem, than it gives another sub option, if you choose that you get another 2 sub, sub options, and if you do that you get another 2 suboptions where you have to fill in the purchase ID which i dont have because i was stuck at point where i wanted to buy something. Not too mention none of any option applied remotelly to the problems i have so i choose the options where it gave the less sub, sub, sub, sub, sub, sub options and the purchase ID i filled in, i dont have a f**ing ID yet
Such sites simply should be nuked by the US, the Russians, the Chinese, the French and any other nuclear capable country including invading aliens that are blood thursty and wants to gangbang those webadmins from behind................
But alla do me a favor and test those 2 downloads
