Can't login like normal with Steam

Ataxia · Dec 13, 2024

Steam sends me to the frontier account login instead of logging in via steam.

That happens on and off with me as well. Just close the Elite window, try again until you get to the regular login. No need to restart Steam AFAIK.

That didn't work for me. Rebooting did.

If you know the email/password for your frontier account you can just hit "LOG IN" and use them to log in with. You will then be given the option to link to your steam account, if I remember correctly.

Was this around the time of their advertised server maintenance this morning?

Yeah, it's happened a couple of times during their "back end" changes with cocijo. When they ramped up it's toughness and when they ramped it back down after the weekend.

The working (best) solution is to exit out of steam completely and restart it. this fixes it everytime for me.
