Capcha prevents me from creating a Steam account
Last night I posted this to Steam support, and am still awaiting an answer:
Yesterday and today I tried to create my first ever Steam account, but each time I correctly enter the characters displayed in the capcha image, I receive "Please verify your humanity by re-entering the characters below." I then repeat the process, taking care to type in the characters exactly as they appear, sometimes refreshing them if I am uncertain what the characters are - but each time I just receive that same notice. After a few attempts, I am then told "Your account creation request failed, please try again later." I have tried to create an account using 4 different computers, 2 Macs and 2 running Windows 7, in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari, but the above keeps happening. I can assure you I am most definitely human, and feeling quite human frustration - so how can I create my Steam account? |

However, this morning I finally noticed the green "Install Steam" link on the create account page, so I figured perhaps that installer would allow me a different method of creating a Steam account. It did, and even though the Steam installer told me the available account name I had been trying to register all this time is no longer available(!), I was finally able to create a new Steam account, give them money and buy CloD. Let's hope that was the last time I ever have to think about Steam. Charlo |

I have bought and played all the games in the IL2 Sturmovik series of Combat Flight Simulators. The latest (Cliffs of Dover) were not available in South Africa, so I bought it whilst on holiday in Germany. It was very expensive at 49,99 Euros, and you had to register in a new disastrous new platform called 'Steam' to load it. This platform requires a lot of internet traffic which makes it difficult with my slow rural connection in SA. I first tried to test the game in Germany, but my hosts PC were too slow. On returning to SA on Tuesday I tried to install it, but the Steam platform would not let me. It said I was still logged in in Germany. I wrote to Steam Support, but received no reply or solution other than an automated response. My German host tried to delete the Steam software and game from his PC, but it resisted his efforts. All I want is to load and play my game that I bought. They must stop blocking my account and enable me. I think in an effort to combat piracy, that they have started to handicap their loyal clients in such a way as to commit piracy of a sort on them. As a loyal client I expect service! Please help if you can.

You will probably have to have access to the email you used to register steam as it will likely want to validate your computer as a new computer for that account. |

How do you set Steam to offline and then turn it back to online when you wish?

At some stage I was willing to help You, cheer You up or stand for You at ubisoft or something but...
That clears everything to me... Read and follow manual before using anything human. If You can't simply explain mistake You did nobody is going to help You. In ancient Greace You would be thrown to the wolfs. Now explain what Did You do wrong?
