Here's how to fix an issue regarding the Steam app not connecting to the network.

It's indeed annoying that even though you have an internet connection, your Steam could still not connect to the network. According to Geeks ULTD, the most common reason why it happens is your web association.

The blunders that you are experiencing could stem from the Steam apps which go missing or broken. In this part, the app won't be associated with the clients.

In a similar report, it was mentioned that first, you need to inspect your internet. You can begin investigating any underlying issues on your connection even if the web is not down.

Another solution that you can do is restart your computer. At some point, you need to reboot your PC to reset the issues that affect the Steam app.

Aside from programming crashes, the root of the problem could be from the drivers, and even from some apps which continue to freeze unexpectedly.

It's ideal to reset the organization settings to see if the connection will be restored on the system.

If the above mentioned solutions won't work, you can rename the ClientRegistry.Blob. In some instances, this could just be an error on the part of Steam.

For the last key to this headache, you can begin to turn off your Windows Firewall. This feature could sometimes detect that an app might be a threat to your PC.

It's important to try switching it off since it can interrupt the running Steam app on your computer. Although it's risky to shut it out because of potential viruses, this is one of the effective ways to solve this problem.

'Fall Guys' to Exit Steam

Meanwhile, ComicBook reports that "Fall Guys" is reportedly leaving Steam in June. Fortunately, you can still download this free-to-play game but on a different platform -- Epic Games Store.

If you still want to purchase this video game on Valve's platform, you can buy it for $19.99. Although it's quite expensive, it's the only way to access it on Steam just in case you don't want to play it on Epic Games Store.

Elsewhere, GameNGuide reports that you can now play the newest vampire survival game on the platform "V Rising," which is created by Stunlock Studios.

Now on its soft launch, the game has already garnered a lot of positive reviews from the critics. The early release is expected to continue for 12 months before the developers release the final version of the game.
