[QUOTE=Wormy;49499145]I have had issues connecting to the Steam servers recently, I get this error quite often:

Probably an issue on Valve's end?[/QUOTE]
I currently have the same error. Should be fixed when the steam servers stop shitting themselves.
Now we just need one for Facepunch, so we blues can well loved too

You can have an apng avatar. I used to have a train one.
However, Chrome doesn't support this natively so nobody will see the animation.
Takes like 20 seconds for my avatar to change, are you sure we are not overloading anything?
EDIT: It seems to work faster at times, right now it changes my avatar each 3-5 seconds more or less.
[QUOTE=helifreak;49498056]Apart from a half second sleep in the code it's all steams servers. Each change takes 10-20 seconds for me even with a 268 byte file.[/QUOTE]
Even without the sleep, it used to be faster yesterday.

Considering how slow the avatar changes and the cooldown, I doubt it.
But if there was some asshole going around opening lots of instances and valve wouldn't flag him for dos - I could see it becoming a problem.
I've added a check to prevent it.
Seems like there's a issue with the steam servers.
Keep getting "Steam Community is unavailable" when I use the program, or when I try to go on the upload page.
I think we killed the servers.
I don't know what you're talking about my 30 instances have been doing just fine

I had that a few years ago (many had), but I have seen some people gotten banned because of it this year.

I can't force you to update, but I hope you consider that you're fucking the steam servers and raising your chance of getting ip, community banned, or even your acc disabled for dos - It's really not polite to do so.
[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;49500051]So, I got it working and now it seems to be stuck on one of the images. I can't even change it manually through Steam or online.
Welp, what have I done.
[editline]10th January 2016[/editline]
So I can change my avatar to a Steam official one but cannot upload my own, anyone else having this problem?[/QUOTE]
yea, and I feel like it might be because of people spamming it with thousands of requests by opening multiple instances.
OP's gonna be banned forever for making and distributing a "DDOS hacker tool"

[QUOTE=Darkwater124;49500252]you mean jailed[/QUOTE]
I mean, this isn't a dos - especially not a ddos tool.
It's not my fault if people use tricks to get around the added delays.
Even sharex could be used as a "dos tool", if you just opened a shitton of instances and tried to upload all the time to a certain location with all of them.
Always nice to see someone doing something for the sake of fun and someone just has to find a way to abuse it. But yeah cronos could be the cause of the possible patching or investigation.

It's always the retards that ruin it for everybody.
You can abuse anything like this who cares.
Anyway I had it working great but now it's coming up with errors, so I restarted the computer but now using my steam64id with the [url]http://steamcommunity.com/actions/FileUploader?type=player_avatar_image&sId=[/url] link turns up a down steam community; is it just them?
Ask anyone who tries to program anything with steam, they're always having a problem.
For such a large company they have incredibly bad community servers and apis.

Extremely, horrifying and disgusting toxic bullshit community.
But their lack of developing their client seem to profit us, don't it :v:
I seriously can't even change my avatar from my profile settings anymore, it doesn't even try.
I think Valve's mad at me..
Yea, steam seems to have sorted their shit out.
Should I reupload this on github, or just forget about it
Vote agree for reup, disagree for forgetting about it.
It's cool so why not.
Still can't figure out what I fucked up, though.
EDIT: I fixed it.
Seems to work for me, and it even goes faster now
I'm kind of afraid to use it now though, seeing how people are abusing it
Yes the speed is like 2x or 3x more.
Is there any way to speed it up, without opening multiple instances of the program?
Also Steam seems to have been fine today, compared to yesterday.
[QUOTE=The bird Man;49506381]Yes the speed is like 2x or 3x more.[/QUOTE]
Perhaps steam finally decided to improve the avatar uploading system.
[QUOTE=Reviire;49506627]Is there any way to speed it up, without opening multiple instances of the program?

If you speed it up, the changes aren't predictable.
Also note: It's not polite to the steam servers.
Edit: Just remembered soimething simpler, use jpg's instead of gifs or any other image format ( read op for exact instructions )
WHAT
I have message that looks like this:
<>[B]Sorry[/B]<>
<>Steam server is currently unavailable<>
Is it broken for anyone else? It worked just fine a while ago but now it's spewing out that gibberish that others have also encountered. It works for the first few changes and then it breaks. Also, Steam's avatar upload page says "You've made too many requests recently", has this been there before or did Valve limit it just now?
[editline]Edited:[/editline]
Yeah, pretty sure they fixed it. Rapidly changing your avatar on your profile settings also doesn't work.
after a day I finally got it that damn upload page to load and it worked for a second, but like Frosty just said it's just coming up with garbled data it looked like on the read out.
