Did anyone else just get a fuckton of steam downloads?
Same. What the fuck happened? They're all updates but they're not updating the game at all.
>>334212337
Quite a few. Didn't show what and the shop seems kinda slow at the moment.
IT BEGINS
PRAISE GABEN!
GABEN FORGIVE MY SINS!
PLEASE HAVE MERCY, GABEN!
>>334212645
Store is working fine for me
>>334212337
Yep, virtually every game I have installed just tried to update.
PANIC.
this is a sophisticated black hat hacker attack
>>334212746
41 updates, what the fuck is happening
905 of these are 0/0 bytes too
>>334212942
Probably just hackers using Steams update servers to ping peoples accounts.
I wouldn't worry about it.
I figure some dependency needs an "update" or something, I get 0 download updates on games randomly, but never this many at once.
>all these guys getting tonnes of updates
>curiosity piqued
>check
aw what the hell
I have Steam Guard activated on my phone, my shit's safe.
>>334212337
I didn't get any but I did notice the servers were offline for a sec when I went to message a friend.
It's because the redistributable that games come with have to be updated, like directx.
GUYS CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS NOW
>>334213165
You obviously only have 13 games installed.
>>334213280
SHOULD I PANIC?
Sorry guys, it was me. Bought Dark Souls III + Steam Controller bundle. Separate billing and shipping address must have overloaded the system.
>>334212337
I got steamguard aka valve has cucked my phone
i'm good
>>334212337
AAAA
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
>not ripping out your hard drive(s) before the updates started and smashing them with a hammer
LOL, enjoy your leaked bank details, faggots.
>>334213406
I honestly can't believe how big of an issue people's accounts getting stolen must have been for this shit to have happened.
How stupid are people that they've been adding randoms to their friends and giving out their passwords?
>>334213492
>giving your cc info to steam
Guys no one is hacking your account. Holy shit. About 20% of my games updated. Still not sure why
>>334213745
Nice try hacker-san, you'll never get my games you piece of shit.
>>334212337
yes, i had 48 games, all of them had 0 out of 0 downloaded and it fucking pissed me off because i seen DaS3 had an update and my hopes were fucking shattered.
>>334213696
>owning a credit card
>>334213165
Only 6 of my games are updating
Anyone know what's going on?
>>334213250
Nevermind I'm watching it happen now.
This is awful.
>>334213873
>being poor
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I did, shit was weird.
17 out of 24 games installed all want to update right now.
>watching Fallout 2 update.
>>334213745
>Guys no one is hacking your account.
Hacker shills on damage control. Get the fuck out, hacker. I'm calling the police.
Something doesn't feel right about this
>>334214007
>not needing a !CREDIT! card=poor
u wot m8?
If at all people who need a fucking credit card are the poor ones.
HOLY SHIT IT'S HALF-LIFE 3
CHECK THE STEAM STORE
IT'S HAPPENING
Anyone noticed a similarity with the updated games? Maybe they all run on the same engine.
>>334214205
No! Please don't report this thread1
>>334214247
HOLY SHIT
Steam went down earlier. Either a hacker or an error, I'm gonna say error.
>>334214229
>something unusual happening is unusual

Wow I wonder what the purpose of this could be.
>>334214361
>That shit on December when everyone could see random accounts' info
>now this
Are they even trying anymore?
>>334214254
Nope
It was pretty random.
I have 22 installed games, 19 got a 0kb update.
>>334214357
PIIIIIIIISS
>>334214236
You've clearly never tried to rent a car, stay in a hotel or pre-book a flight. Credit cards are an trustworthy, guaranteed payment method. Your underage is showing.
>>334212337
No response yet from valve on the steam forums.
There's a thread if people want to go bump it.
>>334214526
No, because I pay that shit in cash you fucking pleb.
>>334214236
Enjoy never owning a home with your lack of credit.
>>334214236
Credit cards are insured way to spend money when cash isn't viable. Debit is insured too but a lot harder to deal with when all your assets have been stolen.
I'm scared.
Oh fuck it just happened to me.
>>334214526
Also,
>Credit Cards
>trustworthy
top kek, you obviously have no fucking idea about security when it comes to payment methods.
valve just "updated" something didnt they
watch games will now have expiration date or something
>>334214014
>playing shmups
Fucking tryhard faggot.
>>>/vr/
>This whole thread
Wow, talk about spot the newfags. They're updating the CEG keys on a bunch of games, they dot his like twice a year.
>>334214831
fuck off hacker NHX shill
I got about 10 updates and all were 0 kb. What was weird was the Dark soul 3 update, it was 0kb also but it took 6 mins to download.
>keeps getting bigger
>>334214491
Looks like only reletively newly released games. I don't see any of my MMos or old as dirt games getting these updates.
>>334214831
I've been using steam for the last 5 years and have never had this happen
>0kb
probably CD keys getting rekt

If you noticed, these 0kb updates are actually deleting shit in your _CommonRedist
>>334214526
>credit cards are trustworthy
nigga do you want to know why credit card fraud is so retardedly easy to commit?
Because the system credit cards use is archaic.
JUST
>>334215063
prove it
>>334215063
I don't link my cards to my account tho
not to mention I canceled my debit card on monday anyways
what did he mean by this?
>>334215063
>saving payment information
also
>implying
>>334214937
It happened a couple of times already.
The update is 0kb because it doesn't download anything. It's taking all of the redistributables for directx for all versions and years and bundling it into one setup.
>>334215081
Oh shit, that can't be good. I'm glad I haven't started Steam up in a long time.
and people ask me why I only wanted to sell my games on my own website without all this DRM bullshit
sure I lost exposure but at least you don't have to use this shitty program and run the risk of getting banned and valve taking your games away. also you don't need an Internet connection to play them whenever.plus I don't have to pay those greedy fuckers their 30%.
The faster steam dies and devs start distributing their games on their own the better.
HALF LIFE 3 FUCKING CONFIRMED
Only games that are queuing is DS2, Stardew Valley, andVisceral Cleanup Detailfor me.
129 games
>>334215224
It seems to be doing this >>334215203
>>334214831
Keep shilling hacker, I've had my account for 9 years without this happening once.
>>334215225
>also you don't need an Internet connection to play them whenever.
You don't need an internet connection to play games on steam though.
That old turn steam to offline mode before losing connection bug was fixed long ago.
>>334215203
I'm not worried, but I'm still screencapping my library just in case I need to pirate anything stolen by steam
someone touched the wrong stuff in the db, triggered dirty bits on everything
Fucking NHX shill
>>334215225
shut up autist
>>334212337
well that fucking explains why my internet suddenly tanked
thank fuck this is my new laptop with 2 dozen installed games and not 200
>>334215224
It's good because those were 400 mb of dead weight you had to keep on your hard drive and download, for no real reason, now steam keeps only one instance on your hard drive and installs it on demand.
Fuck, I had to update like 300 games
Welp, looks like SJWs won and now they are modding our games.
FML
>>334215335
>only 9 years
>not 10
>>334214831
spotted the hacker
I feel that I should mention that 2 of the games updating are games that I wasn't able to launch properly last night, and considering that I'm only updating 6 games that could mean something.
>>334215419
KEEP SUCKING GABE'S COCK YOU FUCKING SHILL
So I should buy games right now so I can scam steam with my burgled credit card info.
>>334215414
>Internet tanking by 0B in total of updates
Stop using a 56k grand dad.
>>334215407
fuck off drone, steam doesn't actually do anything for you except sell other people's products to you and mine your data, you don't owe them any loyalty.
Maybe they fixed Endless Space so the fucker actually opens.
