Hi family,

I just wanted to sync my account, but was told to put my profile to public - which it is!
Never had this before. Anyone else facing this? And what can I do?

Thanks everyone.

EDIT: Thanks to coleypollockfilet I found the fix, which is being stubborn and just do it again and again, until it syncs. Leaving this discussion open in case anyone else is coming to the forum with the same issue looking for help.

Happened to me too yesterday, just changed it to private and then back to public again and it worked.

Btw it doesn't let me sync again, so it's not a long term solution.

Tried again and now it worked :D
I guess it can be random

Got that error in the past days, just waited it out and solved itself in about a day.

This happens every so often. I don't remember what the cause was, but I remember cg being able to take care of it pretty quickly.

Whenever i have the problem, i switch the profile to private and then all back to public.
This fixed it everytime.

Happened to me now. Tried syncing like 5+ times and still nothing. Switching Private>Public doesn't help either.
EdIt: Finally it synced, took forever.

Hi all this is not the only issue. New groups are not synced at all. Steam support washes their hands and steamgifts support blame steam API thank you for nothing.

Steam made a change which caused groups to stop syncing. I fixed the issue yesterday, so groups are syncing once again. However, there are millions of groups that need to be synced, and Steam has rate limits, so give it 10 days before every group is resynced. New groups typically get priority (so people can start making giveaways for them), which is why the group you made yesterday after I fixed the issue has already synced.

Oh, great, so people like me who have been waiting months for their group to sync are now the ones who have to wait the longest for their groups to appear? Seems totally fair to me :/

It's not syncing for me. Steam also keeps logging me out a lot in the browser.

EDIT: Worked again a day later.

I can't manually sync, it only auto-syncs after day or two, and the problem persists for weeks. Has anyone here found a fix to it?

I got this error 'Please switch to a public Steam profile before attempting to sync. This can be done by updating your Steam privacy settings as seen below.'
But my account always is fully public
