I have reproduced the issue (started Origin and Steam with Bitdefender firewal turned on). Network activity monitor showed around 250 packets were droped and 0.0 B "In" for steam.exe and origin.exe.
After this i've used Bitdefender Support Tool and i think it gathered and sent technical data of this issue.0 -
I managed to get origin.exe and steam.exe work properly with BitDefender Firewall turned on. All i had to do is to uncheck "Trusted" and "Home/Office" network types in this application rules. I did the same for every whitelisted app rule and now everything seems fine.

This has also worked for me. Thanks.0 -
can you tell me which networktype you left checked? I have to choose at least one!

Oh, let me say, in other words, you need to disable allowing rules for certain networks to get your applications work? Bitdefender logic, i love it.

I tried all possible combination but it works only when I switch off the firewall.

I am having the same issue as ^.
When my firewall is off, my steam works no problem (browsing, downloading)
When my firewall is enabled, my steam doesn't work (can't browse, can't download/update)
Everything is allowed under the application rules of steam.exe. I have reset my rules, unchecked a few combinations of Trusted/HomeOffice, etc. Steam simply doesn't connect to internet.
Only way I can use Steam is to disable firewall and it works like a charm. Instant-response mind you.
I have also included the Steam Folder under exclusion as a last resort, but nothing changed.
Would appreciate any ideas!0 -
I think I have solved this for my setup by adding my router as a trusted zone under Adapter Rules -> Local Area Connection. The hint came from MOGIVITE's post in http://forum.bitdefender.com/lofiversion/i....php/t4709.html

Follow these steps in Firewall Settings:
1. Press "manage adapters", in network type select "trusted".
2. Add to Application rules: steam.exe AND gameoverlayui.exe, with all permissions.
3. If still don't work disable "Instrusion Detection System" under "Advanced" options.
That worked for me.0 -
I am having the same issue reported in this thread. Steam does not start up with the Bitdefender firewall enabled. It is a relatively new issue (past 1-2 weeks).
Disabling firewall, then starting up Steam allows it to open. However, re-enabling firewall after Steam is open causes additional issues: Steam VAC cannot be acknowledged and Steam thinks it is offline.
I do have steam.exe set to trigger "game mode".
I have generated a BDSP log: BDSP - Steam Issue0 -
I'm not sure why opening those ports would matter. Everything was working just fine until a couple weeks ago. Something changed with either Bitdefender or Steam. Are those new Steam port assignments?

Same problem. If I turn off the BD firewall I can start Steam just fine, otherwise I get an error: "Steam is having trouble connecting to the Steam servers." This is with Windows 8.1. My computer with Windows 7, Steam and BD works fine.
I've tried this about a billion times with tons of different BD configurations. I was able to eliminate any type of error message from the firewall log but I still can't connect.
Here is a link to a BDSP file.0
