    I've tried deleted client blob and reinstalling empires. So far Empires is the only game I get this on, and I get it on the only populated servers.

    The plans working guys.













    But seriously, I used to have this issue too. I dunno what solved it, I thyink it just resolved itself after a few months.

    Send in a steam ticket perhaps.

    Fixed it by deleted my configs folder in Steam. My other mods were having the same problem.

    It looks like he already fixed it, based off of his previous post.

    Wanted to confirm that this does fix some of the cases of problematic steam ids.

    Procedure:

    Go to your steam folder (wherever it's installed) > config and delete config.vdf

    Restart steam (quit then turn on). Steam will then prompt you (on sign in ) to verify that you want to allow you to use that computer for that account (asks you to verify through email).

    Example path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config

    I think you don't have to verify new steam account if you only delete config.vdf

    I can confirm that Steam Guard requires an activation via emailed key, when following this remedy.

    Yeah I can agree with that, I just had to do it when I deleted the config.vdf. But it is an easier solution than deleting the entire userdata folder as I was doing before.

    It seems alot of people are getting the invalid userid ticket crap. Must be valve's fault... Deleting config.vdf is a lot easier and also steam stores game screenshots in the userdata folder.
    Also, it was I who mutilated trickster's avatar in that way. >:)

    I think this should get a Sticky.
    I invited 6 people to join game last night and 4 of them had this problem, one had just installed, the others hadn't played in a while.
