How to fix steam error code 118?
method one:
We find the hosts file, then open it in Notepad format, then enter the following: 23.52.74.146 steamcommunity.com, then find the steam icon, right-click on "Properties", select "Shortcut" and add the following in "Target": -community=" https://steamcommunity.com" Example: E:\steam\Steam.exe -community="https://steamcommunity.com"
If there is an exception after modification, we can delete the modified content of the hosts file and the modified content of the target (recent steam pollution only needs to see the first step)
First open the CMD command line, and then enter netsh winsock reset to reset.
Next, we open the hosts under the path of c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc; Note: Remember to back it up.
Then enter the following paragraph under the hosts path; see the picture below for details, and remember to open it in Notepad.
