Steam Strategy Guide Issues

[Harry Botter]

For a late b-day present my wife got me Skyrim on steam during the sale this week with the guide...its been 3 days and it wont install and no answer from my question on steam. Anyone have this issue or know of a fix or do i just wait?

Can you describe the problem you are having in a bit more detail?
Where does it exactly fail/stop to install?

Well if i click on install in the steam store or if i try to click on the desktop icon that got put there it says this for both "Steam servers are currently too busy to handle your request. Please try again in a few minutes. Been saying that since Wednesday.

This is the error that happens every time i try to install the guide and the question i asked on the steam about it Wednesday has yet to be answered. I figured this would give a better idea to people of the error.

Wow....wtf is your problem? If you have nothing constructive to add just buzz off, im just trying to get some advice on this problem, no need to come in here and being a jerk for no reason.

This MAY fix the problem.

Exit steam and go to your steam folder and delete ClientRegistry.blob

Reload steam and it will start to update. Once it's finished try and download again.

TMS i looked at your other posts and you are just sad with some of the crap you say.

Nope didnt help unfortunately.

Go to settings, download +Cloud, and then change your download region. Keep changing it until you find one that works.

Give that a shot.

Refresh the Steam Caches:
Exit the Steam client application.

Browse to the Steam installation folder ("C:\Program Files\Steam" by default).

Delete the folders "AppCache" and "Config".
Optionally, you can also choose to delete the individual game folder(s):
"\...\Steam\Steamapps\Common\<Game folder name>"
Reboot computer and <Right-Click> "Steam.exe" and select [Run As Administrator]

Log-in to your account as prompted. Re-test the issue.

Try that also.

Wow it was set to Chicago instead of the Atlanta it should have been. But none of the US servers worked for me. I hope Steam answers my question soon, i wouldnt be worried about it but my wife got it for me for my b-day and she feels kinda bad i cant use it and i just want it to work since she paid for it.

Yeah she got me the Mortal Kombat Arcade collection, and the Skyrim game/guide combo on the day it was on sale this week. Both games installed fine, but not the guide.

I emailed Prima yesterday, and im still waiting on an answer from them and Steam. I tried all the stuff in that forum link and nothing and it seems like this is not just an isolated issue either. Oh well hope it gets fixed.

I did find a way to view the guide in Firefox whih is a bit better than having to view the guide while in game and having to shift+tab.
