Steam Chat has stopped working *cry*

Post by MadnessRed »

Is it me or does steam chat no longer work with 1.0, it was working fine on earlier versions but I have just noticed today that it doesn't work??

i will try reinstalling steam and installing it on PoL and see if that helps.

It never really worked for most people. So if you had it working it was some sort of a coincidence. Also you might try to close/reopen chat window. Some people reported this as a "fix".

Actually, ftp and msn stopped working, apparently my dad decided that, even though linux was showing <1% network use, it was stopping everyone else getting on so he disabled all chat and ftp ports.

Out of interest, is there nay truth in that, does linux use up all the bandwdith on a network where all the other computers are windows.

None whatsoever. Bandwidth utilization is a product of the apps you're running, not the OS.
