Every time I attempt to join a server I get the following error:

This Steam account has been used to log in from another computer. To continue using Steam, you need to log in again.

I have tried deleting ClientRegistry.blob, reinstalling Synergy/Dedicated Server, logging out and logging back in on all other computers I have ever logged on to Steam with, and getting a new IP address from my ISP.

Nothing has worked. What do I do?

[Krazy Kasrkin]

When you 'logged out' did you do it by exiting steam, or by going to 'Steam - Change Users'

Both.

I assume this is happening in all source servers not just synergy.

If you already read this then I would just to contact steam support, they are often quick to correct account-based issues.

In my experience, 'change users' differs from exiting steam by logging the account off entirely instead of just that computer.

The issue only occurs in Synergy and I have tried restarting my computer.

I contacted Steam support and they linked me to these forums.

Bump. Anyone have any other info?

You do own 'Half-Life 2' - the singleplayer game, yes?
Try launching that through Steam; open and close it. Then try Synergy again.

Could also try adding "-resetmounts" to the startup options / 'Launch Options' within Steam (right click on Synergy, select 'Properties'...).

Neither works.

I've the same problem

[rmtank]

Bump... anything else? I emailed the dev team and haven't gotten any responses.

I think the log in error got fixed, because I was having the same issue. Now my problem isa steam VAC error, which will be in a different post.

[iliketurkey]

I have the same problem. Please help.

[Chus]

Hy
I have the same problem. Is there any solution yet?

Things I tried.

- Restarting Steam - Exit dialog
- Logoff and Login Steam client
- Reinstall Synergy, HL2, HL2:EP1, HL2:EP2 and HL2:LC
- Deleting content of Synergy, HL2, HL2:EP1, HL2:EP2 and HL2:LC and deleteing corresponding folders in SteamApps\user also deleting *.gcf files
- Starting the campaign at least to finish level one in HL2, HL2:EP1, HL2:EP2 and HL2:LC.
- Deleting both blob files.
- New IP ISP / Restart PC (several times)
- Changed my steam name to remove whistspaces and caracters.
- Checked with status,

Dropped C6Chus from server (Invalid STEAM UserID Ticket
)
Disconnect: Invalid STEAM UserID Ticket

Disconnect: Invalid STEAM UserID Ticket

The only way I got it "FIXED" is by creating a local Server IN LAN modus.

Delete all app/file/folder in steam EXCEPT:
+Steam.exe
+Steamapps Folder
+[Optional to delete] Userdata folder (which contain your screenshot)

[Chus]

Hy,

after deleting all source games and tools it still didnt work.

Well I didnt want to delete the steam folder because I have many other games installed I play and downloading them would mean 50 GB download.

So i did this and IT SOLVED.


SOLUTION FOR ME

Quote

delete Userdata folder (I DID NOT DELETE THE FOLDER ITSELF, I DELTED THE ONE WITH MY STEAMID)

Steam\userdata\22344xxx

You can also try to rename it.

Thanks SOLVED.

[VOSK]

Your solution seems to have worked, Chus.

Thank you!

Nope. Doesn't work for me.

[VOSK]

ultradude, did you try deleting your ClientRegistry.blob file?

[ultradude25]

I have now, with no success.

Even combining all the methods (delete userdata/config/clientregistry) does not work.

[olivejuicesucks]

Is there any solution to fix this without deleting or renaming any folders? I also tried to delete and rename the userdata folder but as soon as I join a game or create one I always get disconnected and it still says I have an invalid Steam ID.
