Steam problem....

[@lv/n]

Many of you may be wondering "How can he have Steam if just a couple of days ago he had no cd-key to launch Steam with?" well don't ask me how but I inserted again my cd-key and it worked perfectly.....

Now for the problem.... when I launch steam and go to a server it says "Error verifying UserID Ticket (server unable to contact the authentication server, 27) ...........
What does this mean?

I heard that alot of people are having that problem when they try to join servers. Alot of CS people are getting it too.

No idea what it is, but there are alot of people getting it o_o

and it's in CS that I'm having the prob because I don't hace any other game..... but the fact is that a couple hours before it worked perfectly, that's what i think it's strange....

The Steam master servers are currently down and you cannot play yet. Just wait until they it.

Ohh, so the steam servers are actually down? So no servers will work?

When they get it back up, which takes time. Be patient, or go back to WON for the day.
