WTF [FaceBans] You are permanently banned. [FaceBans] Banned nick: Invalid SteamID [FaceBans] Reason: 'Invalid SteamID, Please restart steam to fix this issue.' [FaceBans] You can complain regarding your ban @ https://forums.facewan.com/ [FaceBans] Your SteamID: 'STEAM_0:0:0' [FaceBans] Your IP: '' i restarted steam like 5 times after i saw this! and it still comes up! please help!
The reason says it all, log out of steam and log back in to get a valid steamid. Its a normal issue with steam sometimes, your not banned, it's just a precaution to keep people with hacked versions of steam out of the server. This is the same as if you were to connect to a server and get kicked because you have an "Invalid STEAM Userid Ticket". To log out of steam the correct way, open your steam client and click the "file" menu, then click "change user" then click the "Logout" button on the popup box. This will log you out of steam, when the login box comes up, retype your password and Login. This should fix your issue and give you a valid steamid again.
