    Goddammit @Steam stop logging me out of the mobile app. I want to quickly get in and shop or message somebody, and that can't happen if I have to dive into my email to retrieve a code EVERY TIME I SIGN IN TO THE APP. JUST LET ME STAY SIGNED IN.

  • Icy_Wings Icy Wings - Bane of Tupper/Slayer of ****** Corpos (@Icy_Wings) reported

    @Steam Steam, for the love of ALL CUSTOMERS... Forbid the use of third party DRMs on your service.

    @VioletILoveYou @Steam You will need to contact steam support for help with this issue

  • ThePappyPete Pappypete (@ThePappyPete) reported

    @poncle_vampire @Steam @XboxGamePassPC I’m assuming you’ve seen some of us are having issues with achievements/collection items showing properly? Showing I completed achievement for fireworks. Not showing in my collection. I’ve closed. Reopened. Rebooted. Rerun. A bit maddening to see 128 of 129 in my collection.

  • colin_hemphill Cauldron Hemphowl (@colin_hemphill) reported

    I've had the worst time with the official Steam Deck dock. Bad at communicating with displays, drops, occasionally static before it completely stops displaying. This recent crash may have fully killed it. Zero problems with the Anker I got months ago. @Steam @Steam_Support
