Anyone know how to submit a question to the Steampowered.com support section? I resistered for the support part, but I can't find where you submit your questions. So then I resistered for the Forums section, but after you resister there, they're suppose to send me an email to verify my account before i can post anything. Well, here we are 5 days later and I still haven't recieved my verification email.

The problem I'm having, is that whenever I quit ANY game in Steam, I get this and then it forces my Steam to quit. Then I have to restart it.

I think you have to post in the Steampowered.com forums.

Try re-registering or checking if their forum system has a re-send validation e-mail option someplace.

Yeah, I've been getting that too. Or my Steam flat out just crashes or locks up after I quit a game. I think it was happening last week, and it's still happening.

Shesh... such an old fix for everything and you didn't think of it first? Shame on you!

Actually, I did "think" about it. but I thought that was just the solution for if you couldn't START Steam. my bad.

yeah, I find the Friends network is just the thing that could use a bit of tuning.

We have been through this before, I call your error a fake because whether you like it or not, steam IS perfect .

[[AoL]LuckyJ]

Well, apparently there may be some other problem:

From the last Steam patch log on their site:

We're also investigating a solution for the sound skipping problems a small number of users are running into. We'll have a solution for this as soon as possible.

Rather disturbing that they consider most of their users a "small number". Word is that even the new Vampire: TM Bloodlines has the issue, which leads to an engine problem and not what they original said, which was driver issues.

Not only that, but most users are also experiencing a rubberband effect in CS:S, where when they try to stop, they get pulled back some. It might be caused by the same bug in the engine, but no one has found a fix for either problem through config and driver changes.

In HL2 I've gotten stuck in corners and was not able to get out. I would expect this if I were on teh BFA diet, but tis not so.
