Steam "No internet connection" when attempting to download game

[suburbia]

Haven't downloaded on Steam for over a couple of years now. Just bought Shadow of Tomb Raider via eBay reseller, no issue with the key code. However, when attempting to download: "No internet connection". My Steam account is online and Firewall isn't blocking Steam extensions.

Tried to create a new account to use "family sharing" hoping that the new account would download but unsuccessful in even creating an account: "Your account creation request failed, please try again later."

Is this an issue on Steam's end?

TIA!

Have seen Steam download throttling cutting off internet so try disabling it. Also, MacOS will disable WIFI when screen sleeps. To prevent that run 'caffeinate' from terminal if on battery or set the screen to never turn off.

Have you tried redownloading a different game just to make sure your Steam Library works?

If not, maybe restart your Mac?

Thank you for the suggestions gentlemen.

Think a reinstall of the Steam app is in order because it's not budging and the Steam servers seems to be running fine LOL

Did you ever fix this? I've tried everything I can think of. Restarting. Reinstalling. Turning off firewalls. This is the only app I have an issue with on downloads so it's very frustrating to have to jump through all these damn hoops just to get something as basic as downloading working.

Yes and no.

The Steam on my internal SSD was able to successfully download the game. But it’s still “queuing” at 0% on my external SSD, of which I use as my main drive. Dragging the icon from the internal drive where the downloaded game resides onto my dock (of the external drive); launching Steam on my external drive; and clicking on the icon will successfully open the game. It’s an irritating workaround, but it works. Until I can figure a more streamlined solution, this is it.

I had the same issue and fixed it by clearing my download cache.

I found on my Mac with the network interface limit ip tracking feature enabled I was getting issues with downloads not working. Turning this off fixed them. Store pages etc... loaded fine with it turned on. Also cloud sync was having issues with the setting turned on. This is turned on by turning on iCloud Private Relay.

This was it for me. Thanks!

This solved it, pretty bad since IP Tracking is disabled on almost all Macs.
