<isLimitedAccount>0</isLimitedAccount>
从上面可以看出,0表示您的帐户不受限制,而值1表示您的帐户受到限制。如果您的帐户受到限制,您需要从Steam购买并尝试再次添加您的朋友。
3]检查(Check)好友请求的数量
由于Steam对一个人可以接收的好友请求数量施加了限制,因此您将遇到此问题。因此,您需要导航到您朋友的列表并查看是否有任何待处理的邀请,然后批准或拒绝它们,以便为新的邀请腾出空间。
请执行下列操作:
- 在您的 Windows PC 上启动Steam桌面客户端。
- 单击您的用户名。
- 从顶部导航栏中,选择好友(Friends)。
- 单击您的朋友(Your Friends) 并检查您是否有待处理的邀请,然后批准或拒绝它们。
- 完成后,重新启动您的Steam客户端。
现在,再次尝试添加您的朋友,看看错误是否仍然存在。如果是这样,请尝试下一个解决方案。
4]阻止和解除阻止你的朋友
这与其说是解决方案,不如说是一种解决方法;因为您和您的朋友之间关联的Steam(Steam)朋友系统中可能存在错误。并且阻止和解除阻止会重置机制,并允许您再次添加您的朋友并显示错误消息。
要在Steam(Steam)桌面客户端上屏蔽和取消屏蔽您的朋友,请执行以下操作:

- 单击 更多 (More ),然后从下拉框中选择 阻止所有通信(Block all communication)。

- 单击(Click)您刚刚阻止的朋友的个人资料。
- 选择More > Unblock All Communication。
- 重启 Steam 客户端。
看看您现在是否可以添加朋友而不会出现错误。否则(Otherwise),请尝试下一个解决方案。

Error adding Friend, Communication between you and this user has been blocked

- Check Blocked List
- Check Account Type
- Check number of Friends Requests
- Block and Unblock your Friend
- Refresh Steam
Let’s take a look at the description of the process involved concerning each of the listed solutions.
1] Check Blocked List
You’ll encounter this Error adding Friend on Steam issue If you are trying to add a friend who is on your block list – anyone on your block list is barred from communicating with you, and that includes adding friends. So, check to make sure the player you are trying to add is not on your block list on Steam. Here’s how:
- Launch the Steam desktop client on your Windows PC.
- Click your Username.
- From the top navigation bar, select Friends.
- On the left navigation pane, select Blocked to view all the users currently blocked from your account.
- Now, remove the blocked person (if listed) that you’re unable to add as a friend.
- Save changes and exit.
- Restart Steam.
If the issue is resolved; then good, but if not, try the next solution.
2] Check Account Type
As already pointed out, you’ll encounter this issue if you have a Limited Account which is simply an account that hasn’t made any purchase yet. This is in line with a Steam policy where users cannot add other people as a friend unless they have made at least one purchase (minimum of $10). Limited accounts do not grant access to all features which are otherwise available in the full account.
So, if this scenario applies to you, you can easily check if your account is limited using an XML file that opens if you are logged in to Steam on your Windows 11/10 computer. Here’s how:
- Log into your Steam account at steamcommunity.com/profiles.
- Once you’re logged in, press Ctrl + F key combo to launch the Search dialog box.
- In the Search prompt, type in limited and the following line will be highlighted:
<isLimitedAccount>0</isLimitedAccount>
From the above, the value 0 indicates your account is not limited, whereas the value 1 indicates your account is limited. In the case that your account is limited, you need to make a purchase from Steam and try adding your friend again after that.
3] Check the number of Friends Requests
You will run into this issue due to the fact that Steam has a limit imposed on how many friends requests a person can receive. So, you need to navigate to your friend’s list and see if there are any pending invites, and then either approve or reject them to make space for new invites.
Do the following:
- Launch the Steam desktop client on your Windows PC.
- Click your Username.
- From the top navigation bar, select Friends.
- Click Your Friends and check if you have pending invites and either approve or reject them.
- Once done, restart your Steam client.
Now, try adding your friend again and see if the error persists. If it does, try the next solution.
4] Block and Unblock your Friend
This is more of a workaround than a solution; as there may be a bug in the Steam friend system associated between you and your friend. and blocking and unblocking resets the mechanism and allows you to add your friend again with the error message.
To block and unblock your friend on Steam desktop client, do the following:
- Navigate to the user profile of the person you are trying to add as a friend.
- Click on More and from the drop-down box, select Block all communication.
- Restart Steam.
- Navigate to the blocked list.
- Click on the profile of the friend you just blocked.
- Select More > Unblock All Communication.
- Restart the Steam client.
See if you can add the friend now without the error. Otherwise, try the next solution.
5] Refresh Steam
If nothing has worked so far, you can refresh Steam to resolve the issue. Here’s how:
- Exit the Steam client completely by clicking Exit under the Steam tab.
- Next, press Windows key + R to invoke the Run dialog.
- In the Run dialog box, type cmd and hit Enter to open Command Prompt.
- In the command prompt window, type or copy and paste the command below and hit Enter.
steam://flushconfig
- Wait a couple of minutes and restart your PC.
- On boot, open the Steam installation folder and launch the Steam client from that location.
Launching Steam from the installation folder will refresh the Steam files and revert the files to their original state.
Any of these solutions should work for you!
