  • OMaxxximvs Offensiveness MaXXXimVs (@OMaxxximvs) reported

    @Steam >>project and don't want to buy 3rd party "Music Packs" there is really no equal. Again need a legit virtual studio for long albums, but this can export MIDI, record to .Wav directly and is fun to play with. I already like this a little more than Bosca Ceoil... >>>one issue>>>

  • dontwatch18only robocop (@dontwatch18only) reported

    @Steam Y’all need to fix y’all “installing” issue I have 970mbs wifi and is taking years for steam to update a patch from elden ring, I’ve tried everything the internet had offered and I’m still having issues, it’s y’all at this point because I’m not the only one

  • slice3d Slava (@slice3d) reported

    @FarFetched731 @Subnautica @Steam Sorry - we've been concentrating on Nintendo Switch. Will backport this fix in experimental branch soon™. :)

  • drmicrobru Dr. Micro (@drmicrobru) reported

    @MeanTearing @Steam_Support @Steam I once had similar issues but (Jerzy_Techz on instagram) fixed my account..he's really good....🤌🏽

  • doodleman99 Doodleman 💙🇺🇦💛 (@doodleman99) reported

    @Steam is a great platform until you have an issue. Then there is zero support and no way to contact them. Lesson learnt. Even if it costs more elsewhere, I'm not buying anything else from them. #useless

  • fire 🔥 (@fire) reported

    as a bonus i can also finally interact with the nvidia system tray context menu via the controller which didn't work before either ( even running steam as admin ) @steam could literally add the flag to their build manifest in a few minutes & this problem 'd more or less vanish 🥲

  • Timtreec PotatoCast (@Timtreec) reported

    But that shouldn't remove my access to the all the things that I have payed for that I OWN THAT ARE MINE. If this issue is not resolved I will try my best to take this to court. @valvesoftware @Steam Like I've probably spent over $4000 on games at least $2200 on cs go.

  • KittySnac Kitty (@KittySnac) reported

    @lucidggz @Steam For sure, **** those people! Curious to see what behaviour say about it but I'm pretty sure it's going to be a steam problem. Not sure why ******** they can't just ban certain words being used like everybody else does but go ahead and spread bile and hate...

  • zor_tank zortag (@zor_tank) reported

    Are we talking about the fact that @Steam_Support is really ******? You can't even get in touch with them, and all the links lead to their support with a predefined list and you can't even find your problem listed @Steam

  • RashaB92 Rasha 👾 (@RashaB92) reported

    Steam download resetting to 0 GB progress after restarting my PC. How about you fix this @Steam 🤬🤬

  • LemmingRuss Lemming Russ (@LemmingRuss) reported

    @OBSProject & @elgato The Stream Deck does not work with the @Steam release of OBS Studio because Steam installs it to their own file path, not the default of C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio which has broken the pathing.

  • lowkeydbSander Sander (@lowkeydbSander) reported

    @Windows The updating went smooth. I was hoping that a problem I had with @Steam would resolve the issue, where the windows based client wouldn't login automatically while "remember my password" was checked and "Don't save account credentials on this computer" was unchecked, but didn't.

  • ZachRandolph17 💙Zach The Micro Hybrid©™💙 (@ZachRandolph17) reported

    Once again @Steam's ****** software @SteamVR Just crashed again! Will continue to ping until I stop seeing error code 203! Way to go steam! You had over 4 years to fix your stuff and you didn't!

  • faylen Christy S (@faylen) reported

    @marconiusiii @zkline @Steam Try this. Edit the shortcut to look like this, including quotes. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -no-dwrite -login username password but replace username and password with the appropriate things. They really need to fix this.

  • Kristie40023551 Kristie Dickerson (@Kristie40023551) reported

    @AustiniPepper @Steam I also experienced this, i contacted support service and they didn’t do anything about it, but @AntiTrafico_DF helped me get regain access to my account✅

  • Nerrith1 saturnsrepose (@Nerrith1) reported

    @DeadByBHVR I logged into a new computer with @Steam to play DBD, and it keeps saying my profile has been logged out due to another device being logged in. how do I fix this?

  • ZachRandolph17 💙Zach The Micro Hybrid©™💙 (@ZachRandolph17) reported

    Oh no! Another crash! Another ping! This will continue until @Steam fixes @SteamVR !

  • Joebno_Gaming Joebno3 (@Joebno_Gaming) reported

    @MetroUK @Steam @Steam_Support PLEASE for the love of God issue refunds. Even if it's just steam wallet money.

  • JoeyAGamer JoeyA (@JoeyAGamer) reported
