Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Steam has been struggling with my internet connection: not sure whose fault it is. My net connection seems to be fine, but could be to blame for the connection.
Twice now Steam has failed to log in, and asked me to sign in again. When I do so, it claims I've logged in too many times, please try again later. Starting offline still works. Starting online also still works (at least after the previous time this happened) later once - presumably - the network connection is stable again, and requires no extra login.
That makes decent enough sense with some networking problem confusing things, though it still would be nice not to fail like that. The real problem is, this second time it happened while in a game. (First time was when starting Steam, or perhaps waking from suspend.) Having failed the re-login for "too many tries" (on my first try!), Steam auto-quit, and quit the game without offering a chance to save!
tl;dr: Steam had connection trouble and couldn't "refresh" its login, so it quit without opportunity to save my game.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
Have strange networking issues
Wait for Steam to require a re-login
Correctly type password, and watch while Steam decides to quit anyway.
