Trouble downloading a game.
Hi Steam Support
I'm having trouble downloading a game through Steam. Each time I try, and I have tried quite a few times, I recieve a banner stating: "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating my transction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support assistance." I've already tried restarting, clearing the cache and switching from desktop client to the web version, but the pronlem still persists.
Could you please help me resolve this issue.
Thanks

Change steam DL , steam has a summer event sale atm. your ISP in your region could have a congested area with many user DL stuff.

if it work that mean that directions is betetr for you if not then its your ISP that aree congested.

And NO ISP will not expand fiber lines, just because steam has a flea market aka like a black friday where steam users go shop aholic aka mass DL.

You can not keep expending down then sale even is over.

And stop broadcast that server is no good or other is better , steam user need to change only then you have a problem. ( you can call try avoid make havok with many steam user change DL zone.

This is know as all run to same box office and order a ticket, and road to it is filled, not nessary steam server there is the problem, its the road to get to it.

We try explan this to ppl, we are only steam users here, in this steam community forum.

Do not have other network issue , becuase i can tell most will not help you, funny how this go away then sale and Mass DL games from stean server is over. ( this is why its a bad time to actual have a network issue, in top of steam event sale. ) feel free to contact own ISP or read the many other post about network issue.

This is not because i post this, this happend at many steam event sale, outof the blue many new random steam user have DL issue. ( and this is why we dont trust any ISP all over the world ) it can happend to any of us.
( lets say 10.ooo danes in my local area DL , you dont think our ISP is in trouble some where there is a congesttion. untill DL are over.

Do check netcard driver and firmware is update at router.
same with do not have bad packets, you might have triiger this while lines are busy more then not, but understand why many will not waste there time then lines look like they are overcrowed with users.

Someday a few user will have other issue in top of steam event sale. and we will all dismiss them becuase of any steam event sale just is there. ans we have good excuess to do so.

Dont forget we see a increased network DL issue everytime with steam sale event, this is fact.

and we are not support here in this steam community forum, we just see a little clue about it,, every time
