[mystycs]

When i run .steam i get an endless Checking bootstrapper version ...

Any ideas why i get this?

Thank you

at first it could be a overload of steam network.
pls be patient, also it could be this
go into the folder where u have steam launcher.

Code:

rm -rf .steam

./steam

Im having the same problem with the endless Checking Bootstrapper thing. I am not behind any firewall, but i know that i access internet via a proxy server which does not require user authentication. It is simply a http address with a port number. How do I incorporate that into the ./steam command? Please, please, need help
