Failed to log into steam

[asdfmonster261]

Starting today I am getting this error in the logs. I've tried using it on two different networks and three machines with the same results. I am able to log into steamcmd anonymously on all machines.

[modules.steam] INFO: Log in to Steam
[modules.steam] INFO: Invoke anonymous login
[modules.steam] ERROR: Failed to log in to Steam
[modules.steam] ERROR: Failed to log in to Steam
[modules.steam] INFO: Log out from Steam

ValvePython/steam#474

I dont know if this gets fixes ASAP because the Maintainers of the ValvePython/steam Project didn't do anything since 2 years. You can implement the wsproto-Branch from njbooher (https://github.com/njbooher/steam/tree/wsproto) and then add the following to the Project:

to requirements.txt add:

https://github.com/njbooher/steam/archive/wsproto.zip

wsproto

and then in helper/app_finder.py:

from steam.core.connection import WebsocketConnection as import here

game-update-notifier/helper/app_finder.py

Line 10 in c811777

from steam.client import SteamClient # noqa: E402

and then after here

game-update-notifier/helper/app_finder.py

Line 19 in c811777

_client.anonymous_login()

put

_client.connection = WebsocketConnection()

and it should work again as it is now using WebSocket instead of TCP for connecting to Steam.

Thanks, I already saw your comments on the issue and the related PR to support WS, and I also saw that the maintainer has been inactive lately😢 I'm going to take a quick look and see whether I should use the PR branch directly.

The root of the problem is that the Steam Connection Manager is flaky (https://steamstat.us/) and I guess they prefer Websocket over TCP for now. My "solution" is only meant to fix it temporarly and I hope one of the maintainers will implement Websockets ASAP. I mentioned the most active maintainer in the PR.

It seems that the issue on Steam's side has been resolved, as the code that stopped working few weeks ago is now functioning again 🤔

That said, the dependencies have become outdated, so I think I will just update them.
