Steam Deck Won't Connect to Steam Servers - Need Help!

-

Hey everyone, I’m having some trouble with my Steam Deck. It won’t connect to Steam servers, and I’ve already tried a few things, but nothing seems to work. Here’s what I’ve done so far: restarted the device, enabled Developer Mode, and even disabled Wi-Fi power management. I also switched to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection, but still no luck! I found these solutions online, but I’d love to hear if anyone else has faced this issue and managed to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!

I haven’t run into this issue, but sometimes it’s all about the network settings. Make sure your Steam Deck has the correct date and time set up. If the time is off, it could mess with your connection to Steam servers.

You may be onto something! The time and date are wrong, but I checked the timezone and that seems correct. How would I go about changing the time and date?
