Arreglo: Servidores de contenido de Steam inalcanzables

Muchos de los usuarios experimentan un problema en el que Steam no puede descargar su tiempo. Indica que los servidores de contenido no se pueden descargar. Es seguro decir que este problema no es causado por un problema en particular debido a muchas configuraciones de los usuarios. Hemos enumerado algunas de las soluciones que incluyen todos los métodos de Steam Support, así como de los usuarios.

Solución 1: eliminación de la configuración de proxy

Un servidor proxy se utiliza en organizaciones donde el acceso abierto a Internet está restringido. Se utiliza un proxy para rastrear la red y proporcionar una puerta de enlace alternativa a los usuarios. La configuración del proxy a menudo se convierte en un obstáculo cuando Steam intenta conectarse a sus servidores para descargar.

Hay dos formas de desactivar el proxy en su computadora.

Método 1: Chrome

  1. Abra el navegador Chrome y haga clic en el menú de Chrome (arriba a la derecha) al abrir.

  1. Después de que aparezca el menú desplegable, haga clic en Configuración .

  1. Una vez que se abre la página de Configuración, escriba " proxy " en la barra de diálogo presente en la parte superior.

  1. De los resultados de la búsqueda, seleccione el resultado que dice " abrir configuración de proxy ".

  1. Cuando se abre la configuración, haga clic en " Configuración de LAN " en la pestaña Conexiones, presente en la parte inferior.

  1. Desmarque la línea que dice " Detectar configuraciones automáticamente ". Guardar los cambios y salir. Reinicia Steam.

Método 2: a través de la configuración de red

  1. Presione el botón Windows + R para abrir la aplicación Ejecutar.

  2. Una vez en la configuración de LAN, desmarque la línea que dice " Detectar configuraciones automáticamente" . Guarde los cambios y salga para volver a iniciar Steam.

Solución 2: deshabilitar las extensiones de Chrome

A veces, las extensiones presentes en Chrome pueden crear un verdadero obstáculo. Interfieren con la configuración de su red, especialmente el complemento llamado " Ghostery ". Supervisa su red y proporciona estadísticas sobre dónde deja su huella digital. Incluso le permite controlar qué sitios web pueden acceder a sus datos y cuáles no. Se recomienda deshabilitar estos complementos de Chrome antes de continuar con la descarga. Si el problema lo causaban ellos, se resolvería.

Esto no solo incluye las extensiones de Chrome, debe deshabilitar CUALQUIER programa que esté relacionado con su red (monitor de datos, VPN, etc.). Es mejor probar en lugar de continuar con las soluciones adicionales que son más complejas.

Solución 3: cambio de la región de descarga

Una de las correcciones básicas incluye cambiar la región de descarga.

El sistema de contenido de Steam se divide en diferentes regiones. El cliente detecta automáticamente su región a través de su red y la configura como predeterminada. A veces, los servidores en una región específica pueden estar sobrecargados o pueden estar pasando por fallas de hardware. Por lo tanto, cambiar la región de descarga puede resolver el problema en cuestión. Siempre puede intentar cambiar las Regiones de descarga muchas veces (no se limita a un solo intento) antes de continuar con otras soluciones.

  1. Abra Steam y haga clic en ' Configuración ' en el menú desplegable en la esquina superior izquierda de la ventana.
  2. Seleccione ' Descargas ' y navegue hasta ' Región de descarga '.
  3. Selecciona otras regiones distintas a la tuya y reinicia Steam.

Solución 4: eliminar clientregistry.blob

El registro de clientes de Steam puede dañarse y esta puede ser la razón por la que se enfrenta al error. Podemos intentar cambiarle el nombre / eliminarlo.

  1. Salga completamente de Steam y finalice todas las tareas como se menciona en la solución anterior.
  2. Busque su directorio de Steam. El predeterminado es C: \ Archivos de programa \ Steam .
  1. Busque ' clientregistry.blob' .

  1. Cambie el nombre del archivo a ' clientregistryold.blob ' (o puede eliminar el archivo por completo).
  2. Reinicie Steam y permita que se vuelva a crear el archivo.

Con suerte, su cliente se ejecutará como se esperaba. Si aún no funciona, siga los pasos que se enumeran a continuación.

  1. Vuelve a tu directorio de Steam.
  2. Busque 'Steamreporter. exe '.

  1. Ejecute la aplicación y reinicie Steam.

Solución 5: Borrar la cola de descarga de Steam

Si tiene muchas descargas pendientes en su cliente de Steam, se recomienda eliminarlas todas excepto una y volver a iniciar Steam.

  1. Abra su cliente Steam, diríjase a la pestaña Biblioteca .
  2. En la parte inferior, verá una opción en la que se puede hacer clic que dice " Descarga en pausa ". Haga clic en él para que aparezcan todas las opciones en cola.

  1. Uno a uno, haga clic en el botón como se muestra en la imagen de abajo para eliminar los elementos de la cola.

  1. Una vez que los haya eliminado, haga clic con el botón derecho en los juegos (excepto en el que desea descargar primero) para que aparezcan las configuraciones. Una vez que se abra la Configuración , haga clic en el botón " Desinstalar ".

  1. Steam le pedirá que confirme sus acciones. Haga clic en Eliminar cuando aparezca el mensaje y reinicie Steam antes de intentar descargar ese juego nuevamente.

Solución 6: usando flush config

Podemos intentar ejecutar el comando flush config para restablecer la configuración. Siga los pasos a continuación.

  1. Presione Windows + R para abrir la aplicación Ejecutar.
  2. En la barra de diálogo, escriba " steam: // flushconfig ".

  1. Presione OK . Steam ahora abrirá una ventana para confirmar tus acciones. Presiona Ok y reinicia Steam.

Solución 7: iniciar Steam en modo seguro con redes.

Before resorting to more technical methods, you can try running your PC in safe mode (with networking) and try to start the Steam download.

  1. Get your computer to safe mode by selecting from various options available. Select ‘Enable Safe Mode with Networking’. You can learn how to get your PC to safe mode from here. If you are running Windows 7, press F8 upon the startup of your PC and you will be directed to a similar window where you can select the required option.
  2. Open Steam and try updating/installing with it again. This method should remove all obstacles (if any) which your Steam may be experiencing.

Solution 8: Disabling Safe-web from router

Your WiFi router may have a setting called safe-web in it. What this does is filter all the incoming data it deems are not trustworthy. It is very common for it to flag Steam as one and disrupts the connection with your computer.

Since there are hundreds of different routers used by the users, it is very difficult to list the solution on how to disable the option for every one of them. Here are some guidelines so you can have an idea.

  • Web Safe can be found in the parental control section on the WiFi router configuration.
  • It can also be found on the Virus section or the Filtering section.
  • To enter your router settings, type the IP which is associated with it (for example for some it is 192.168.1.1). You can check the required IP either by calling your modem provider or by looking at the back of the device ( even its packaging box may have details).

Solution 9: Disabling Anti-virus and Defender/firewall

Before proceeding to reinstall Steam, we can try meddling with the antivirus. Antivirus monitors each packet of your computer sends and receives. Although Steam has collaborated with most of them so they don’t give problems, sometimes they do. The solution is to disable/uninstall them and check if you are able to download then.

McAfee Antivirus:

McAfee has no way to exclude certain files from its real time scanning. The only way is to disable the antivirus entirely until the game is updated. To do this, open McAfree and select “Virus and Spyware Protection”. Here you find the option of “Real-Time Scanning”. Click that option and turn it off.

Then follow the following instruction to verify integrity of game files.

  1. Restart your computer and relaunch Steam.
  2. Head over to the library section and right click on the game which is giving you problems.
  3. Click on its properties and select the local files tab.
  4. Click the verify integrity of game files button and Steam will verify that game in a few minutes.

Hopefully, after performing the above steps, your Steam won’t give any issue.

ESET NOD32

NOD32 has the tendency to mark some application files as malicious and will most probably quarantine it. This often results in the error while updating a game. Browse to your current Steam directory and copy the address

  1. The default location for your steam folder should be “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam”.

Press ⊞ Win + R button. This should pop-up the Run application.

In the dialogue box write “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam”.

Or if you installed Steam in another directory, you can browse to that directory and you can proceed with steps mentioned below.

After copying the address open ESET NOD32 and paste the location in exclude from real time scanning.

Follow the ‘verify integrity of game files’ method listed above and you will be all good.

Kaspersky AV

Kaspersky may sometimes flag Steam as an intruder and disable it from making any changes to the hard drive. To fix this, head over to ‘threats and exclusions’. Navigate to ‘trusted zone’ and add Steam.exe as a trusted application. Remember to change the settings to Do not restrict application activity as well as Do not scan opened files.

Follow the ‘verify integrity of game files’ method listed above and restart your computer.

Windows Defender

  1. Click Windows button and in the search bar type “Windows defender”. Among all the options, there will be an application named “Windows Defender Security Center”. Open it.
  2. Upon opening, you will find a list of options available in the new window. Select the option “Virus and threat protection”.

  1. Upon entering the menu, navigate to Virus and Threat Protection Settings. Windows may prompt you to allow administrator access to use this feature. If so, press Yes.

  1. After entering the required menu, you should search the window which says “Add or remove exclusions”. Click it and you will be navigated to a menu where you can add exclusions. You can exclude folders, extensions, and even files. In this case, we will exclude the whole Steam folder which is located in the directory you downloaded it.

  1. Click on the option which says “Exclude a folder” and navigate to your Steam directory. The default location for your steam folder should be “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam”. Once you reach the location select the folder and save changes.
  2. Restart your computer and run Steam with administrative privileges. Hopefully, your speed issue will be resolved.

Solution 10: Downloading Latest Steam Client

  1. The default location for your steam folder should be “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam”.

Press ⊞ Win + R button. This should pop-up the Run application.

In the dialogue box write “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam”.

Or if you installed Steam in another directory, you can browse to that directory and you can proceed with steps mentioned below.

  1. Locate the following folders:
Steam.exe  (Application)SteamApps (Folder)Userdata (Folder)
  1. Delete all the other files/folders/applications except the ones mentioned above.
  2. Head over to the Steam website and download the latest Steam client. Don’t launch the old Steam.exe present in your directory at all. The problem won’t be solved.
  3. Install Steam using the installer in the same directory as your previous one. Hopefully, after installation, the problem will be solved.

Solution 11: Changing Default Browser

In a weird turn of events, having Chrome or any other browser set as the default browser sometimes causes issues with the download request that Steam sends to its servers. Therefore, in this step, we will be setting internet explorer as our default browser temporarily to make sure that the download proceeds. For that:

  1. Press “Windows’ + “I” to open settings.
  2. In settings, click on “Apps” and then select “Default Apps” from the left pane.
  3. Click on the “Web browser” option and then select “Internet Explorer” from the list.
  4. Open Steam and check to see if the issue persists.

Solution 12: Removing Steam Content Server Limiter

In certain cases, it was shown that uninstalling Steam Content Server Limiter from the Classical Control Panel interface fixes this issue for a lot of people. Therefore, in this step, we will be doing exactly that. For that:

  1. Press “Windows’ + “R” to open the Run prompt.
  2. Type in “Control” and press “Enter”.
  3. Click on the “Uninstalla Program” option and then right-click on the “Steam Content Server Limiter” and select “Uninstall”.
  4. After the server limiter is uninstalled, check to see if the issue persists.

Method 13: Changing DNS

In certain situations, the server DNS that the computer is using to communicate with the internet might not be compatible either with the steam servers or it might be facing issues temporarily. Therefore, in this step, we will be changing our DNS servers. For that;

  1. Press “Windows’ + “R” to open the Run prompt.
  2. Type in “ncpa.cpl” and press “enter”.
  3. Right-click on your network adapter and select “Properties”.
  4. In properties, double click on the “Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPV4)” option and check the “Use following DNS Addresses” option.
  5. Type in “8.8.8.8” in the primary DNS address and “8.8.4.4” in the secondary DNS address.
  6. Click on “OK” and then check to see if the issue persists. If it does, try using “1.1.1.1” and “1.0.0.1” in the fields respectively.

Method 14: Changing Config File

In certain situations, the config file on the computer might require some editing in order to get it some games to start working. The steps listed below are primarily for Mac but you can try them on some older OS such as Windows XP too as some users reported that this fixed it for them.

  1. Open the Mac Finder and navigate to the following directory.
    drive_c/Program Files/Steam/config/
  2. Launch the “config.vdf” file and wait for it to open.
  3. Find the following text lines inside the file.
    "InstallConfigStore" { "Software" { "Valve" { "Steam" "cip"
  4. Paste the following lines of code under the “cip” entry in the config after creating a new line under it.
    CS" "valve511.steamcontent.com;valve501.steamcontent.com;valve517.steamcontent.com;valve557.steamcontent.com;valve513.steamcontent.com;valve535.steamcontent.com;valve546.steamcontent.com;valve538.steamcontent.com;valve536.steamcontent.com;valve530.steamcontent.com;valve559.steamcontent.com;valve545.steamcontent.com;valve518.steamcontent.com;valve548.steamcontent.com;valve555.steamcontent.com;valve556.steamcontent.com;valve506.steamcontent.com;valve544.steamcontent.com;valve525.steamcontent.com;valve567.steamcontent.com;valve521.steamcontent.com;valve510.steamcontent.com;valve542.steamcontent.com;valve519.steamcontent.com;valve526.steamcontent.com;valve504.steamcontent.com;valve500.steamcontent.com;valve554.steamcontent.com;valve562.steamcontent.com;valve524.steamcontent.com;valve502.steamcontent.com;valve505.steamcontent.com;valve547.steamcontent.com;valve560.steamcontent.com;valve503.steamcontent.com;valve507.steamcontent.com;valve553.steamcontent.com;valve520.steamcontent.com;valve550.steamcontent.com;valve531.steamcontent.com;valve558.steamcontent.com;valve552.steamcontent.com;valve563.steamcontent.com;valve540.steamcontent.com;valve541.steamcontent.com;valve537.steamcontent.com;valve528.steamcontent.com;valve523.steamcontent.com;valve512.steamcontent.com;valve532.steamcontent.com;valve561.steamcontent.com;valve549.steamcontent.com;valve522.steamcontent.com;valve514.steamcontent.com;valve551.steamcontent.com;valve564.steamcontent.com;valve543.steamcontent.com;valve565.steamcontent.com;valve529.steamcontent.com;valve539.steamcontent.com;valve566.steamcontent.com;valve165.steamcontent.com;valve959.steamcontent.com;valve164.steamcontent.com;valve1611.steamcontent.com;valve1601.steamcontent.com;valve1617.steamcontent.com;valve1603.steamcontent.com;valve1602.steamcontent.com;valve1610.steamcontent.com;valve1615.steamcontent.com;valve909.steamcontent.com;valve900.steamcontent.com;valve905.steamcontent.com;valve954.steamcontent.com;valve955.steamcontent.com;valve1612.steamcontent.com;valve1607.steamcontent.com;valve1608.steamcontent.com;valve1618.steamcontent.com;valve1619.steamcontent.com;valve1606.steamcontent.com;valve1605.steamcontent.com;valve1609.steamcontent.com;valve907.steamcontent.com;valve901.steamcontent.com;valve902.steamcontent.com;valve1604.steamcontent.com;valve908.steamcontent.com;valve950.steamcontent.com;valve957.steamcontent.com;valve903.steamcontent.com;valve1614.steamcontent.com;valve904.steamcontent.com;valve952.steamcontent.com;valve1616.steamcontent.com;valve1613.steamcontent.com;valve958.steamcontent.com;valve956.steamcontent.com;valve906.steamcontent.com"
  5. Save your changes and check to see if the issue persists.

Note: Some users reported to fix the issue after having to deleting the CM List IP addresses in the file aswell in addition to pasting this code.
