    @Steam When I want to create an account, it displays "Please disconnect from VPNs or proxies and try again. (Reference ID: 3692419492585340195)". I am not using any VPNs or proxies; please find a lasting solution to this issue.

  • Hyper200 Joe Madden (@Hyper200) reported

    @Steam Why can't you fix the tuesday night restart? Can you not do it in the uk at like 3am or something. Every Tuesday disconnected from steam.

  • Got18404707 Got (@Got18404707) reported

    @Steam HT-XFBW-34RJ-9G28 Handle the customer service case, thank you.

  • ccouch1982 Chris Couch (@ccouch1982) reported

    @Steam Your sign up system is broken

  • MartinAllTech Martin Rivers (@MartinAllTech) reported

    @carnage3110 @Steam I’ll suggest you reach out to Backup_security via Instagram he'll fix it immediately, I’m sure of him.

  • Jimmy092003 Jimmy (@Jimmy092003) reported

    @moonksmom @Steam What’s the problem?

  • tompedalino Tommodore 64 (@tompedalino) reported

    @2_left_thumbs @Steam Really glad someone is bringing attention to this. I think part of the problem comes from the process. It's not enough for one party to have their own dev/pub page but they also need to be part of the same steam group requiring coordination from both dev and pub.

  • WesleySuter3 Wesley Suter (@WesleySuter3) reported

    @Steam my account gets hacked and I get booted out. Steam takes all customer service contacts away. Some bs how can they care so little for their customers?

  • JonTheAnime John V (@JonTheAnime) reported

    @Steam @Steam I need help getting my account back. Is there anyway I can submit a ticket without having to login to my account?

  • Apraxif Apraxif ™ / 1k Ray (@Apraxif) reported

    @Steam Hey guys, it'd be great if your servers didn't randomyl disconnect. It'd be even better if I wasn't kicked from CoD everytime your Servers go down. 🤡

  • harrisalokorpi Harri Salokorpi (@harrisalokorpi) reported

    @Steam it seems that you payment methods are quite broken for me. Steam Deck; keyboard overlay broken. iOS app: Paypal broken, debit card not supported by your payment processor (error page)

  • bortoletto79 Alberto Bortoletto (@bortoletto79) reported

    @CallistoTheGame Why are you ignoring PC users? No comments about an upcoming patch ! (I have got the Digital Deluxe Edition). The developers have released only a small patch for the stuttering Issues. Take a look the average reviews on @Steam

  • jph00per jamie paris hooper (@jph00per) reported

    @Steam @RockstarGames You guys know how to over price game rentals, after all we don’t seem to own them if we buy through you! Yet another forced update I dint want, I don’t play online and now I can’t play at all because of YET ANOTHER broken update just like your games! #scum

  • paulatr3ides ...VieneElApagon (@paulatr3ides) reported

    @valvesoftware hi valve. I'm so happy that as Valve customer of @Steam for more than 18 years, I'm unable to buy the @OnDeck because I live in Puerto Rico. When will you fix this stupid region blocking? For god's sake, we're part of the United States.

  • KevinMuldoon Kevin Muldoon (@KevinMuldoon) reported

    @Steam I've been trying to reset my password for weeks, but keep getting the message "An error occurred trying to handle that request (Error 29)" at the change password stage of resetting. How do I resolve this?

  • Gavill3ro Gavill3ro (@Gavill3ro) reported

    @SteamStatus @Steam Fix u fk servers....

  • JacobLeeDowney Jacob Lee Downey (@JacobLeeDowney) reported

    @BlackMesaDevs @ModDB @Steam Very enjoyable playthrough. Streams great as well. Only problem was with the cables in the teleportation lab. Got stuck & had to reload once. Anything I can do to help LMK.

  • subzerochi -: (@subzerochi) reported

    what i love about @Steam is that i can play games on my linux box. what I do not like is that there's no dependability - today, for eg. the controller is just not getting detected. Ubuntu is detecting it just fine. steam isn't. Last week, it was some other problem.

  • Akuma_Zen Akuma ⭐️🐸✨ (@Akuma_Zen) reported

    @fayroberts @Steam The same exact thing happened to me a few days ago! Maybe a user security issue?

  • IslanderJer Sam Luce (@IslanderJer) reported

    @Steam why is it seemingly impossible to send you a ticket? I would really like to get an issue resolved but I have no way of contacting you privately

  • Apraxif Apraxif ™ / 1k Ray (@Apraxif) reported

    @Steam Hey guys, it'd be great if your servers didn't randomly disconnect. It'd be even better if I wasn't kicked from CoD everytime your Servers go down. 🤡

  • MintyMiyu Miyu Minty (@MintyMiyu) reported

    @Steam Fix this please give the actual Dev the credit they deserve

  • Life3Masturzo Nicholas Masturzo (@Life3Masturzo) reported

    @CallofDuty fix your disconnects from Steam RIGHT NOW!!! @Steam stop letting it happen!!!

  • bababoy_4 Bababoy4 (@bababoy_4) reported

    @armaanyounis @caelumbellum @Steam Don't you guys have a shooting problem you need to fix before talking about our ****?

  • SamStratten Sam Stratten 🇦🇺 (@SamStratten) reported

    @Gamestarter There's a huge disconnect. Spend $200+ to buy an NFT so you have a player in the game. That makes no sense. Games already have marketplaces and prices set by players. @Steam does this. It's a simple opt in mechanic for developers. We don't need blockchain for what you mentioned.

  • 2_left_thumbs 2 Left Thumbs (@2_left_thumbs) reported

    @funkycaribou @moomoomang @Steam I wouldn't go as far as sinister. Even "shady" was probably overselling it. But you only have 1/2 second to catch people's attention. It's just a disruptive and unhelpful bit of navigation that somehow became the norm, and publishers absolutely have the power to fix.

  • Coomer44 C (@Coomer44) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support your app is ***, always dropping from 50mb/s to 0 CONSTANTLY when downloading/updating games. No internet issues on any other apps, only yours. It’s 2022, fix your ****.

  • AzureMetall Nat—AzureMetal (@AzureMetall) reported

    Hey @Steam , I'm having issues with adding a new phone number. I've seen some other folks anything these issues. Can someone help please?

  • AZ_Hiker_ Steve Bennett (@AZ_Hiker_) reported

    @Steam What's going on with your android steam chat app? Its got one basic function - CHAT. It fails at this. Its laggy, times out, and has 1.5/5 rating out of almost 15,000 reviews. PLEASE bring back old chat through the steam app. Been waiting for MONTHS for a fix.
