Nicereddy 109 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Well... that's interesting. I'm not experienced with Windows, so I'll leave this up to someone else. Just to make sure, have you: Tried turning your computer off and on again? Tried updating to the Steam Client Beta/moving to Stable (depending on which you're on right now)? Tried updating the drivers for your graphics card? Otherwise, I'd post on the Steam Big Picture Bug Reports forum. Reply (Quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendozacheers 4 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Things that I have tried:Restart the computerReinstall Steam Update driversOpt into Steam BetaOn another computerWith alt. accountWaiting over an hourUnplug every USB deviceFlush registry filesSeveral more minor fixes from forums etc. Yeah, I have posted on all communities I can think of, barely anyone answering so I suppose it's time to contact Steam support so that I might get to use the Steam Link around Christmas.

Mirh 102 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Ok ok, first the basics. Update BIOS, graphics and even audio drivers. Then close any bloody background software, including AV. Reply (Quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Share Posted October 23, 2015 Updating the BIOS? That's insane, don't do that. You can fuck up everything if you are not careful. You can mess up your computer permanently if you mess up with the BIOS. Also those suggestions make no sense with the issue at hand. I've had an account related issue similar to this on Origin, only the Steam support can probably fix this. I honestly don't think your machine is at fault, something must have gone wrong on their side. But if this still happens you could also ask a friend to connect through your account on his computer.

Figuring out your motherboard model (and as if flash tools didn't already do plenties of checks)? Also, BIOS-dependent bugs are the most weird. DRM not working, game crashing and BSODs.. and my favourite USB not recognized in virtualbox As long as that 0.000001% of unreliability of the electric grid doesn't hit you in that very moment, I'm pretty sure you are going to be fine.

Guest Share Posted October 24, 2015 I don't think it's something anyone can do, there's always a pretty huge risk when doing stuff like this if you are too careless. Anyway an update on his current situation would be nice. Reply (Quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marioysikax 89 Share Posted October 24, 2015 For regular folk who only browse internet, yeah, they should get their computer to professional to update and clean stuff. Usually they won't get any major problems with regular browser so BIOS update isn't necessary until there's some problems like BSOD or major vulnerability. For gaming rig, BIOS update is almost mandatory thing. BIOS itself even has cursor and user friendly UI, all backing up and checking in between and all other stuff, so it's pretty hard to even mess that up these days. Personally actually had freezing issue which I assumed was because of cheap SSD, but apparently it was partially because of BIOS as well. Also because my DVI-DisplayPort issue, I can believe that something that minor can be the problem. Though with this situation we are talking about using exactly the same stuff with two differend steam accounts and other one crashing the thing for some reason. All I can think of is that there's something differend between accounts that are causing that issue, so that Big Picture is trying to load something that other account isn't. My guesses would be something like avatar or nickname that big picture has to load and show right away, but I did see you have your main account as secondary accounts friendlist, so that ain't it at least and it's not like there was anything that would've caused issues (only regular alphabets). Of course normally at that situation I would say you are using companys software and trying to use companys hardware with it, then just contact said companys support, but.... I'm not so certain will computer generated respond after two weeks of wait help that much :\ Reply (Quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
