me too have been trying to find fix. just happened 5 mins ago

Yeah, its weird about the only way for me to fix it is to logout or restart steam but once I go to click on anything as far as things from any of my games that error pops up.

Once in a while it'll be able to refresh. But other times its just stuck and I know I live out in the country where I live. But I doubt my internet is to blame. I'm no computer expert.

The steam store page and searching steam works fine. Its just my library.

Okay what fixed it for me; Was uninstalling and reinstalling steam. I would suggest if you haven't already. Save or backup any important game files if you can and try that.

started working for me i just had to restart my computer few times idk

I'm having the same problem. I think it might have something to do with the recent steam
update.

Especially since we're all having the same issue at the same time.

Agreed. I'm also having the same issue with the same error code, its likely the new update.

I've just sent a steam support help request. I'll update you all once they reply.

Try entering BIG PICTURE mode. This gives access to Library games.

I keep getting this, too.

Nope, doesn't fix it.

Fixed it for me. I went Big Picture. Logged into a game. Then switched back to normal. Now working OK. I think Steam are doing something with the library display. Corrupted something.

I tried going to Big Picture mode then back to normal but that didn't fix it for me. I'm still getting the error message and only if i relog to Steam i get my Library back. Once i click on a games Activity or News it happens again. I hope the Steam devs are on to fix this problem. It's really annoying :-/

Ok so Steam support responded.

They asked me to get them some details from my steam app through some sort of devtool and then send them a screenshot.

For some reason, opening steam with the devtool fixed the problem. I don't think this is a permanent solution though, but it works for now (for me at least).

I've copied and pasted the relevant steps below. Try it and see if it fixes the problem for you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Go to your Steam client's installation location (by default this will be located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam)

2.In this folder locate your "steam" application file

3.Right click the "steam" application file and select "Create shortcut" from the drop down menu

4.You should now see the new shortcut created named "steam - Shortcut" in the folder

5.Right click the "steam - Shortcut" and select "Properties from the drop down menu

6.In the dialog window that appears go to the input box for "Target:"

7.In that box add the following to the end of the text there: -dev -opendevtools
You "Target:" should now look like this (assuming you have a default installation location): "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -dev -opendevtools

8.Go down in the dialog window and click "Apply" to apply the changes

9.Make sure you have completely exited the Steam client

10.Now, double left click the "steam - Shortcut" file to launch the Steam client with these developer parameters
