Troubleshooting
Common errors and ways to fix them are listed below.
Connection errors
- "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"
- "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"
Usually caused by:
- proxy problems
- unstable internet connection
Solution:
- check the proxy
- try another proxy
- make sure your internet connection is stable
Response ended prematurely
If the error happens constantly:
- most likely, a SOCKS proxy is being used without specifying the protocol
for example, use:socks5://IP:PORT
If it occurs occasionally:
- it is likely caused by temporary connection drops on Steam's side
Accounts disappeared, RCode or password does not work
If you downloaded NebulaAuth from the official source:
- the application does not modify account data
- the issue is outside the application
We recommend contacting Steam Support.
