    1) Friend sent me Steam Guest Pass for the game during free weekend (Sunday), I did not activate it straight away.

    2) Started Downloading late Sunday, download reached 96%~.

    3) The next day I wake up to find the download had stopped and couldn't be resumed, the game was also no longer listed in my "Games" section of the "Library". This rendered the instructions given on activating the Guest Pass, useless. (Right click game, Activate)

    4) Under the toolbar option "Games" and "Manage gifts and Guest Passes... the game was not listed.

    5) My friend could not re-send the Guest Pass to my email as 24 hours had not passed.

    6) My friend found out that he could send the Guest Pass to my Steam Account instead of my email and did so, I then clicked the Activate button on the popup dialog with the bogus activation instructions on it (if I chose not to activate straight away) and was able to resume downloading the game and eventually play the game.



    In summary, guest pass became inaccessible from all Steam interfaces once free weekend expired even though a guest pass was given. I believe I may have been able to click the link in the email but that thought never occurred to me until after a solution was found.
