I've been playing multiplayer with a friend via steam for the past 2 weeks, but randomly like 2-3 days ago we became completely unable to join each other, usually with it saying, "Could not establish network communication with server.", here is my log file from when i tried hosting.

Can each of you join public servers? What region are each of you in?

Same here, the problem is only with games that I try to connect via steam ID. Connection to IP/port (i.e. dedicated servers) works correctly.
Also there was quite big steam outage two days ago and I suspect that it is related - something probably changed on steam side.
