I honestly didn ' t realize that was a real sub until I put it there . <| sep |> This happened to me . If you don ' t have the recovery code for when your phone gets lost or becomes unavailable then you have to talk to steam support . They ask you all these questions about your account . When it happened to me it took about a week of back and forth with steam support before they let me change it , not losing the recovery code this time . its very stupid , they let you have access to the email , able to change password , etc but they won ' t let you change the phone number . As if the password or email is less important than the number . Gl <| sep |> Agree ' d , what ' s happening here is just a laggyoverloaded server by the sounds of it . Edit Dos ' ing the server is still a possibility .
