Few to no Games and Shops Present as Well as Problem Connecting to Friends...

[Monocratic]

So I just noticed this last night, but there are hardly any games on my search list (even with the filters reset) and hardly any shops present at all. Today I actually can't find a single game at all on my search list. I'm not sure if I'm having a bug where some kind of regional locking might have been implemented unintentionally for some players during a recent patch or what, but it's a tad annoying to not be able to play with anyone at all. Also, whenever I try to connect to any friend on my friend list, likewise when they try to connect to me, we get an error that says, "Failed to connect to the game from invite," even if an invite wasn't involved. Maybe it's a simple problem I'm overlooking or maybe a few people are having it, I'm not sure. I would just like for it to be looked into please.

Thanks in Advance,
Monocratic

Have you tried changing the region of your Steam server? See if you can find more games that way.
