You must start Steam..... blah, blah, blah

[MPG1770]

Ocassionally, I get the message "you must start steam in order to play this game" and closes down the game. But STEAM IS RUNNING, otherwise I wouldn't be able to chat with friends etc. Why?

Gabe introduced this just to annoy you.

After all no one else has ever had this issue at all. No one. Not one person. Never, ever, ever :rolleyes:

By the way, me and my friends call this Steam Being Gay. Errr. but it's never happend to any of us. Oh no. Never. Not once.

Occasionally Steam will lose contact and think you have switched off. Hence the message and final kick out of the game.
