We invite you to discover How to fix Steam advanced access not working with this excellent explanatory guide.



It really upsets and renders you helpless when the advanced access one had ordered for some certain game from Steam does not work. To get the headstart was the sole motive one bought a deluxe version of any game beforehand. This mistake makes it all a waste. Rest assured, we have got this! With that in mind, here's a list of some of the most recent workarounds offered by players to get you gaming again and with your preordered game as soon as possible.



The best benefit of a pre-ordered special or Deluxe edition would be the ability to play it a few days in advance prior to the general release, which is great for die-hard fans like you. If you want to get a jump on the game, this will give you a leg up. When that functionality isn't functional, the whole process of pre-ordering seems pointless. So, without further ado, let's get down to the repairs.


Steam: How to fix advanced access not working


There's no silver bullet to help fix this issue, but you can try a couple of them. The following fixes are your best options to fix this because gamers say those fixes sometimes work.


The Preliminaries


First, forget about the obvious. Please restart your computer. Quit Steam and close the game. After that, power your computer off, and after a few minutes, restart it. Once the computer has booted up, start Steam; remember to run it as administrator. This will restart Steam, hence probably solving your problem. Many gamers reported this simple restart to be surprisingly helpful. Just a note, this might take a couple of restarts to actually work.


Delete All Download Data from Steam.



You can also try clearing your Steam download cache, as this might fix the problem, too. Sometimes the reason why a game isn't launching is because of cache data that becomes outdated or corrupted. Open Steam and click on the "Steam" menu option at the top left. Click "Settings." Then click on "Downloads" within the menu. An option to "Clear Download Cache" is at the bottom. Feel free to select it. This will make Steam restart itself after which you'll be asked to log in once again. If some corrupted files are, in fact blocking the way to more advanced features, this will repair them.


Check Game-Related Forums


If your issue is still there, you may want to check the official forums of the game. When writing this tutorial, this problem was occurring for those buying new games like Silent Hill and Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. Since then, developers or others may have workarounds or updates about existing problems. You can find helpful information on game-specific Steam forums or community bulletin boards. If the number of users with the same problem is big enough, developers will more than likely post an answer rather quickly inside these forums. Participation in forums is important.


Check Steam for Updates


With previous versions of Steam, you may have issues with advanced access and other features. To do this, first open Steam and click on the "Steam" icon in the top left corner. From the pull-up menu select "Check for Steam Client Updates." If there is an update available, download and install it, then restart Steam for the changes to take effect. You can resolve a great number of access issues simply by making sure Steam is updated.


Contact the Developers


Lastly, you could try and reach out to the developers in case the above remedies have not worked. You'll find a way to get in touch with them through the contact and support page of the official website and social network pages. Sometimes, the developers are supposed to take care of something at their end; for example, there might be a bug or problem on the server side. In that case, having told them about the issue, they will try to speed things along.



We can conclude that knowing How to fix Steam advanced access not working is easier than we thought with these instructions, you just have to apply them and thus return to the normality of our fun.
