  • Sid_Lazer Sid Lazer (@Sid_Lazer) reported

    @Steam I use a PS3/PS4 style controller but every game shows me an Xbox controller layout. Steam even detects my controller as a PS3 controller and the games still show me Xbox buttons. How do you fix this?

  • Yolix25 Yolix (@Yolix25) reported

    @Steam @Steamworks why are downloads extremely slow on Steam for a few days? & for all games !? I had time to dl RDR2 + AC val + 5-6 other game while Steam could not finish a 10gb game!?! don't you have a server problem? #Steam

  • izedatwolf Ize Dat Wolf (@izedatwolf) reported

    @Steam Be careful buying games from @Steam . I bought a game that is unplayable because of its age and they refused to refund me and are ignoring my issue. Customer service seems to be non-existent.

  • MeadorsCody Cody Meadors (@MeadorsCody) reported

    So I'm trying to redeem a code on @Steam for lost Ark from @cloakzy. I got an error saying there have been to many redemption attempts and to please try later. How long does that last?

  • shanecorning "the" Rev (@shanecorning) reported

    Before you get to move the "anti cheat" into the Kernel, Valve, you need to make a public concession to OGC. ...... :-) ... Because you have resorted to taking Clock Cycles to fix your own code. @Steam , #Linux

  • MarcLevandowski Marc Levandowski (@MarcLevandowski) reported

    Goes to @Microsoft store to buy @ForzaHorizon , can't install, can't troubleshoot, nonsense errors. Goes to @Steam and installs with 3 clicks. Remind me again why anyone has a store on PC besides Steam? #ForzaHorizon5

  • ChickyPewPew Proflazarchicken (@ChickyPewPew) reported

  • HTGHunter Hunter Thomason (@HTGHunter) reported

    @Steam I believe my Steam account has been hijacked, I just got an email saying that my Steam account email was changed, and I can't sign in to my account.

  • Abhishe25461230 Abhishek Mishra (@Abhishe25461230) reported

    @Steam Extremely frustrated with your support. I am unable to purchase @ForzaHorizon 5 because of some error in payment. My bank says that there is no issue from their end it must be something from steam.

  • Giacom33 James (@Giacom33) reported

    @Steam Hello, this afternoon an hacker stole me my account (cheebacca312) and he deleted my references so I cannot login anymore

  • AisyniaDKA Rachel Wicken (@AisyniaDKA) reported

    @tct_adventures @Steam @GOGcom FIX THE ******* FACES

  • OriginalKanator K-Anator (@OriginalKanator) reported

    @izedatwolf @Steam Also, chances are the game works just fine, you just failed to do what's required of you. For example, I can't just launch Fallout 1, 2 or Tactics immediately after downloading them; I have to go in to the installation directory and fix things.

  • Sirjest57 JP Edwards (@Sirjest57) reported

    @Steam C'mon guys. It is 2021. How can I not send a gift game to a friend in China because of "Regional price differences". Just charge me whatever their local price is. I pay for things in different currencies every month from other service providers with no issues...

  • Eddy420Chill EddyChill (@Eddy420Chill) reported

    @HonkaiImpact3rd Is there any info of when would you introduce crossave and crossplay on @Steam ? I don't understand why we can't have it tho😭 I'm really enjoying it, but I feel like all that I'm doing in this acc is only to waste time bcs of this problem. I hope u change this🥺

  • ambrosia_harris A M B R O S I A (@ambrosia_harris) reported

    @Steam I'm having trouble with any game I want to play/buy saying I have an invalid platform, could you help?

  • Sadiku1947 mo bama (@Sadiku1947) reported

    @Goomb__ @Steam This guy's will never respond I’ve tried so many times none responded, all I had to do was get an external support specialist who was able to resolve this whole issue of my account getting messed up and it worked out perfectly, his page is @utopiantechh I suggest you look him up

    @Tom_TomGaming @Steam For real! Man Microsoft has been solid at stopping account hackers and mitigation of the damage, Sony seems to take a little too much time to fix things but steam seems to be the worst wow. I hope this isn't a long term problem

    @Interstellarrpg checkout @NVIDIAGFN they might be able to get your game to more people via their NVIDIA Powered Game Streaming Service called NVIDIA GeForce Now, they work with @Steam to bring your game to players using the power of the internet :)

  • KumoAlt KanashiiKumo Alt (@KumoAlt) reported

    I do not know what others think of the recent @Steam downloading/installation update whatever from last few months, but It's simply worse now for me. Some games get broken or even if paused it's still going and annoying, I get pissed
