New install of Win 95 OSR2, I mean Win 10. And Steam.

[Deleted member 88301]

Yes, I know that I will have to talk to the Steam folks, but I'm hoping for help here first.

After reinstalling Win 10 H I reinstalled Steam. My password was accepted just fine, but only 4 games were available to download. I've bought many games over the years from Steam, yes Steam directly. They are just not there.

Help?

That's a weird one, do they show up in your purchase history?

Best guess: you logged into a 2nd steam account that you long forgotten about.

Well, that is strange how about you install a steam guard on your phone and check if you can see your library? If games are there you can reinstall Steam on your computer and check again.

That was it! Thanks! After my recent Win10 install I installed Steam with a very similar user name. I feel stupid, LOL.

I had this happen a few years ago, too. At some point I had an alternate Steam account that used my e-mail address as my login rather than a login name. It seemed to have been tied to physical CD's of Half-Life and Opposing Force I bought way, way, way back when. It had nothing but a whole bunch of Half-Life games and spinoffs tied to it. I have like 40 gift copies of all of those so I eventually just had Steam shut it down.

I think I knew that was the problem because it happened to me before long ago.

DF-1, when it happened to you did you feel silly? I was just confused as hell.

i think i figured it out very quickly, but it was a confusing minute.

Well, sometimes these kind of things require a step back, maybe a walk outside, then coming back and looking at the problem at a different angle. Also, sometimes a friends advice can be very helpful.
