Yeah, pretty damn annoying at the moment!
There's a lot of things timing out on the Steam servers, but I think we can handle a disconnection on the Poll stream better than what we are
Pretty sure this is the same issue as jgeboski/bitlbee-steam#111.
Looked into this some more. There's 3 different things going on with the Steam servers at the moment, either they timeout, return a 500 server error, or tell us that we're not logged in.
It's the last one that causes the "Reconnect needed" to show up in Pidgin, but most of the time it's one of the first two happening that is silently handled in the background.
I'm not sure if there is anything we can do at the moment, other than ride out the mess and wait for the Steam servers to come right
Looks like this was caused by a DDoS attack against Steam yesterday and the problem should have gone away now https://www.reddit.com/r/itsaunixsystem/comments/4024pk/steam_user_hacks_valve_with_amplified_ddos_attack/cyqwyz7?context=3
I too think it's not happening anymore.
Steamcommunity has always been unstable and slow to me. I've had similar issues when using steam on mobile while at the same time desktop is working.
It's almost as if the mobile api goes through the steamcommunity somehow
Happens every 5-15 minutes.
In the debug window I don't see much of a reason, just
