"Account Used Elsewhere"

yes several times   :-[

major:
Typically, one of these fixes the issue: 

Deleting ClientRegistry.blob
Restarting Steam
Logging in and out
Logging in and out on another computer, then logging in again

Sorry to say, might just have to sit out for a day and check back next day. This is a common issue with steam and we can't really do anything.

Unless someone smarter has a new workaround, might have to just wait it out.

Sorry, hopefully see you in game soon.

killermonkey:
For the record (17th time) this only affects mods because Valve is a huge douche. Retail games automatically update your online precense when you try to play them, mod games do not. We have no control over this whatsoever.

If you continue to experience this even after an uninstall/reinstall then you might have a serious issue with your account in general. Maybe you should change your password or try disabling "auto-login" ie type in your password every time you start steam.

Ever since I did that (disable auto-login) I have not had this trouble. I bounce between my laptop and desktop, which is the root cause of this account used elsewhere issue.
