Hi i just got my steam account disabled and i don´t know why. I went to steam support and wrote them a message and asked why. But they haven´t answered yet. Has this happend to anyone? Im really worried that its disabled permanently. I know its weekend and they might not working but how long do you usally wait until you get a answer?

Check your E-mail. It should explain why. If not, then wait. It can take anything from an hour to 2 weeks to get an answer.

Have you been griefing folks online perchance? Or stolen a game through 1337 hacker skills?

Calumon: It's valve time. :p

You might want to elaborate on disabled. However, the main reasons for this are either:
Your account got hacked and/or your account has been linked to VAC infringements.

So what is the more plausible answer?
Hacked? maybe but don think so. And i payed for all my games if thats what you asking.

Reading the previous posts, nothing comes to mind why it would be disabled.

When did this happen? I'd wait maybe a day or two before telling us anything.

The only thing i can think of is that i tried to download assassins creed 2 one time but i dident get it running. but i done that many times before with other games i habe on steam so its kinda wierd.

"When I tried to download Assassin's Creed 2" isn't quite the answer I was looking for. I mean, was this a few hours ago, or yesterday, or last night?

So far, looks like a VAC problem.

Hacked: Have you given your login and/or password to anyone else? Have you visited or downloaded any suspicious websites or files from the internet? Have you made sure that you were actually on the Steam website when you logged in? The list is endless on how your account can be hacked by someone other than you.
Another common (really common) problem is other family members using your account and breaking VAC regulations behind your back.
think i have a auto loggin on my parents computeer that may be it.oh well only time eill tell. But if this is the case will they shutdown my steam account for ever?

You were suspended for two weeks, so I doubt that you would be banned.

As you said, only time will tell.

It could also be that the payment method you used for your latest game has been disputed. Sometimes kids use their parents credit card to make the purchase and then the parent doesn't recognise it when they see it on their statement and so they call up the credit card company and say "Help someone hz stolin mai monies!"

Then the credit card company says to Steam "Oh hai! You thourt you could steal these monies but we is wise to you mister. now we take the moies bak and you must pay fine"

And then Steam say to the user "You cost us monies! Your acount is so locked now til we are no longer mad"

I think it's none of the above issues tbh.

I'd say youre dealing with a technical issue. Steam gets a little weird sometimes... it asks you for tickets and the like.

If you have access to another computer that doesn't have steam installed, install steam on it, and try logging in for it. If you get the same message then you have an account problem. If it works then you have a technical problem.


If its a technical problem you can try uninstalling/reinstalling... but with steam its usually more complex than that.
