[Bug] Another application is using port 8080

error getting steams websocketdebuggerurl: unknown exception

The reason this is happening is because another application is open and using port 8080, which is needed by Steam.

Run the following command in CMD to pin point the conflicting software, and either close it, or uninstall it

for /f "tokens=5" %a in ('netstat -aon ^| findstr 8080') do wmic process where processId=%a get ExecutablePath

After this, make sure you are on Steam's stable version as it currently does not work on beta. Cheers!

With steam open when you go to http://localhost:8080 does it load a webpage with some steam windows?
