Sorry to hear this @bibleolea

In case of a temporary connectivity/routing issue, do you still encounter the ‘Backend Error’ if you try signing in now?

Otherwise, if you can temporarily switch to a mobile data connection and check if the error occurs, this can help to determine if the issue is network/ISP-related.

If the error only occurs on your network, then running through other connectivity error solutions may help, here:

If you’re concerned about Steam’s 2hr refund policy, and you go over this troubleshooting this error, then please let me know and I can help with a refund still if necessarry.

Please let me know how you get on.

Hello! This worked! Thank you! I’ll update here again if the error comes up again, which I hope it doesn’t. Thank you!!!
