No Steam Login???

I just recently downloaded this game due to constant nagging of a friend and after waiting two hours (I have terribly slow internet) I finally installed it and tried to play. But every time I try to connect to a server I just get the error message "Steam Account is in use Somewhere Else". So I quit OC, went into task manager and ended the .exe and tried again. No luck. I restarted Steam to try and again and still the same thing. I've tried all the servers and nothing. Biggest wait of 2 hours unless someone can show me a fix and prove me wrong.

Try deleting "clientregistry.blob" in your Steam folder and then restart Steam, this typically remedies a large amount of common Steam issues

Thank you for the suggestions, I will try it later today. But when I went to reinstall, I noticed something else. The installer said failed to retrieve player models. Should I be worried about htis too?

For some reason the installer fails to install the custom models.Don't worry,you can download them at the Model Release area.

The 3 fixed threads are the places where you need the models,if you want.

Still witn problems?

Your case must be grave,I haven't tried this but maybe this works(maybe...):

Try reinstalling steam,If that doesn't work,try unistalling and then installing(different than reinstalling,maybe something good to you...)

I hope have helped you

Just start a Valve multiplayer game like CS:S or TF2 and join any server, you'll get a prompt (yes, in-game) to re-login (which doesn't show up in OC for some reason), do so and quit the game. You should now be able to play on OC as well. That 'ticket expired' thing is annoying.

This also works with HL2:DM.

I had this problem too. I'm not sure, but I'm going to suggest this,

Go to settings in Steam, and uncheck "Run Steam when my computer starts" and restart Steam. It worked for me, if its already unchecked for you then I'm not sure.
