I'm not saying this is impossible, I'm saying you have to understand the problem first which might be harder than just looking for an IP. The issue we most likely have is that we'd have to change behaviour of some of the code. The latter could be circumvented by finding the hardcoded IP and replacing it. The former could be circumvented by proxying DNS and rewriting the problematic parts (hello unbound). Now on to why "fix DNS lul" and "use DNS instead" would be easier fixes. Why is this fix hard? Static/Dynamic Resources vs. I'm asking you to either do the former, or the latter, but stop triggering my GitHub notifications unless you have something meaningful to bring to the table. In effect this means that as long as Steam isn't fixing this we have to choices bother them where it hurts until they fix it (see my earlier comment), or find ways to fix it ourselves. What I'm saying is, this is not a simple "fix DNS lul" issue, and it's also not just "use DNS instead".

Otherwise they would have to touch some code that may be used by a wide variety of other moving parts in the Steam codebase fixing the issue there might break seemlingy unrelated parts as well.

If this originates from a library (go ahead, turn on gdb, or maybe try using ltrace, whatever works), then chances are Steam is either using an old library that can't be simply updated due to breaking changes, or which is not maintained anymore (also, off chance it could be a library they lost the source code for, or maybe licensing issues). Here I'd like to point out the excellent responses from karatekid430 and nivex, as they provide further insight into what it actually takes to fix the issue which is rewriting code that is either using quite old libraries, or which uses a different programming pattern than should be used nowadays. If you want things to change then please bother them directly as I've mentioned before, or provide constructive feedback, in terms of debugging results. I'd very much like to get this out of the way, since most people complain about it being a matter of hardcoded IP addresses, which in all likelihood isn't the real issue.Ĭomplaining in this issue does pretty much nothing to solve the problem, as Valve almost certainly doesn't get constant notifications for this thread. That it has to be done eventually (inevitable), and that it is a good business case to eliminate the risk of getting caught out later when they will face backlash from normal customers when ISPs stop offering native IPv4. Do I have no life? The jury is still out on that one.īut unfortunately people like us who understand technology and care enough to take action are still in such a minority that the following argument is just as powerful: I even contact small to medium businesses which I deal with and ask for IPv6 access to their public websites, hoping that for small websites, it might just be a matter of flicking a switch on the hosting provider's portal. I also go on Facebook Messenger occasionally and contact ISPs without IPv6 as a prospective customer, asking them if they have IPv6, and when they say no, I tell them that is unacceptable. I have left telcos and ISPs which did not have IPv6 and told them that is why I was leaving, and I signed up for ones which offer native IPv6. If I cannot log in on my own terms, then I am definitely not going to spend any money. I will not be giving you any more money until this issue is fixed. I refused to participate in your most recent Summer Sale because of this issue. They don't care about any of these technical arguments, so allow me to put this in language they will understand: This would help explain why most banks are not enabling IPv6 on their public facing services. The Steam Store is likely subject to fraud monitoring.

But unfortunately, enabling IPv6 in servers can be extremely problematic for businesses which are subject to fraud, because the fraud detection and monitoring software will have to be able to understand IPv6 addresses and analyse them for patterns.

Although I would really urge them to make their servers IPv6 only.

Valve just needs to update their code to solve these things, and then it will happily work behind a NAT64 gateway, and then Valve can make their servers IPv6 in their own time. IPv6 will automatically work in software which is designed well, with no thought from the developers. It is not about implementing IPv6 (aside from in protocols that embed IP literals). What do you mean by "compatibility mode"? Most software should just work, it's because Steam half implements IPv6 and that implementation is broken that we get this bug.

The issue is Steam doesn't work in compatibility mode.
