Hey, I've been having a super annoying problem. Whenever I try to connect to a server, It disconnects me shortly after with the error message "Disconnect: Invalid STEAM UserID Ticket" It happens on all Overwatch servers, for both the Dev build and normal. I have restarted both my computer and Steam multiple times. Any info on why this is happening would be appreciated.



Solution Below!

Hey,

Try logging out of Steam (Library > Steam > Change User) then logging back in. Closing/relaunching Steam isn't enough.

Let me know if it works!

Whoo, it worked! Thanks so much. Too bad I missed the community playtime though.

That's because I could be on for a few seconds, but then i'd get kicked.

Also, interestingly, My User interface dissapeared for a while, until I relogged. No Idea why that happened, but it's back now, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Quick update regarding this very annoying issue.

There are two possible fixes (attempt Fix #2 only if Fix #1 doesn't solve the problem):
  • Fix #1
    • Exit Steam (shut it down completely)
    • Go to your Steam folder (example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam")
    • Find and delete the userdata folder
    • Restart Steam
  • Fix #2
    • Exit Steam (shut it down completely)
    • Go to your Steam folder (example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam")
    • Find and delete all files and folders in there except for the steamapps folder and the Steam.exe file
    • Restart Steam

If you've tried both and are still having trouble, please let me know!
