How to Fix Steam Error Code 105

If you are encountering Steam error code 105, this indicates a connectivity issue that prevents you from accessing Steam services. Follow these steps to resolve the issue.

Check Your Internet Connection

Begin by ensuring your internet is functioning properly. You can try visiting various websites to see if they load quickly. A stable connection is essential to avoid Steam error code 105.

Restart Your Router

Sometimes a simple restart of your router can solve connectivity issues. Turn it off for about 10 seconds, then turn it back on. Once your router is back online, check if you can access Steam without encountering the Steam error code 105.

Flush DNS Cache

If the problem persists, try flushing your DNS cache. This can resolve issues where your DNS settings are preventing a connection.

Open Command Prompt and type:

ipconfig /flushdns

Change DNS Settings

You can also change your DNS settings to use Google's public DNS. Go to Network Settings and configure your DNS to:

• Preferred DNS: 8.8.8.8
• Alternate DNS: 8.8.4.4

After making these changes, restart your computer and launch Steam again.

Verify Steam Files

If you still encounter the Steam error code 105, try verifying your game files via Steam. Go to Library, right-click on the game, choose Properties, then click on Local Files and select Verify integrity of game files.

Firewall Settings

Check your firewall settings to ensure Steam is allowed to bypass any restrictions. You can configure firewall settings through the Control Panel.
