[TUTORIAL] Error verifying STEAM UserID ticket

[OsSi]

Question I receive the error: 'You have been disconnected from the server. Reason: Error verifying STEAM UserID ticket' when I try to connect to a server. Answer Important Note If the Steam Network is down or too busy you may not be able to connect to a Game Server - to determine whether or not this may be thea issue, please check the Steam Status Page - if the last update for that page is more than 20 or 30 minutes behind, there may be a Steam network outage. Please also check to see if there are other players having the same problem on the SteamPowered Forums. If it does appear as though the Steam network is down, you will need to be patient and wait until the problem gets cleared. Troubleshooting Persistent Steam UserID Ticket Errors If you have determined that the Steam network is not down and you are still receiving this error message, this issue is most likely being caused by not restarting after a Steam update has been released. If restarting Steam does not resolve the issue, please exit Steam and delete the following files: * Steam.dll * SteamUI.dll * ClientRegistry.Blob These will be found under your Steam installation directory - by default, this will be C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\ (this may vary if you specified a different installation folder, or if you have moved your Steam installation).

I agree, I've had this happen a few times and I had no idea what to do back then.

I've also seen this happen a lot :/
