Steam Validation Rejected

[instantloser:blitz]

Hey does anyone know what to do about this, I've been playing all day closed out DoD to do some things around the house, came back to try play on the server and it gives me this message "Steam Validation Rejected" Now I can't get on any of my computers to play, they all give me this message.
Cheers

Similar thing happened to me and a few others. I had a different error though. Try validating your DOD files then loging in ond out of steam a few times. Thats what worked for me.

I just wanted to post a follow up, I just received this email from Steam:

So there we go I was going crazy trying to fix my problem and I did nothing wrong go figure. Doeshk to validate your files follow these steps
Load Steam
From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
