Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Echoes of Troy (@FireFlyTroy) reportedWhat is with @Steam support and never looking at tickets & just a generic replies? 3rd ticket, same issue, same replies!! Arghhhhhhh
-
Captain Sockman the A-log (@SockmantheAlog) reported@obakepam @Steam If it has it, it has it. I dunno what to tell you since it's becoming a big part of the industry though now we have just as bad of a problem if not worse than unity asset flips.
-
Netleaf 🇺🇸 (@netleaf2) reported@Steam Will you please fix the damn steam client? I just had to redownload a 100GB game because I couldn't move it due to a 'content lock file' error. That is total nonsense, total bullshit. If I had moved the files manually it would have worked fine. But I'd rather cost you money.
-
Recep Yılmaz (@fx_tradercp) reported@upgradepcfr @Steam Had same issue @KarenVault resolved it quickly.
-
Vesper+ Expansion🎈 (@deepvesperplus) reportedLets be real here @valvesoftware has no ***** in this @Steam should be treating the Steam Deck as a loss leader. You're not beholden to investors every quarter. You can afford to eat some margin and make hardware that actually moves the market. Where's the $299 Steam Deck? Where's the $499 Steam Machine? You really think people wouldn't jump on that in a heartbeat? Gaming hardware prices are so messed up right now that Valve could practically own the budget market if it had the nerve to try. @valvesoftware fix it.
-
AbelsFables (@AbelsFables25) reported@ToanChan_ @Steam Hear me out maybe don’t blame stream but blame your gov forcing steam to have to do this? I know a lot of people who use a debit card but clearly uk wont let steam use that to verify,they had face recognition and it was abused with ai n fake pics sooooo 🙃 blame the real issue
-
Hayyan (@HayyanCodes) reported@TimSweeneyEpic @EpicGames @Steam Yes, we can buy games on Steam using Visa and Mastercard. Also, providers like nsave now fully support Syria. But on Epic, we can't even claim free games. we can browse the store fine, but the actual checkout/claim process just errors out every time.
-
Antonio (@AvisadorMtrMdrd) reported@Steam I want to Work with this company, send me the most bored thing and I will fix it
-
Royal Ryoto (@royalfort100) reportedI had my account hacked by some random guy on steam a while back around 2024, Well i contacted steam and they got me my account back within a day but also gave me a free 100 dollars for the trouble I just wanted to make this post because steam is awesome @Steam yall are goats!
-
Fragoso Ent ▶️ Wishlist GRIM HOPE (@FENTLLC) reported@Altair_laahad @obakepam @Steam All of those are annoying. The one I hated the most from back in the day is finding a old as YT tutorial look at the comments and seeing some reply "I fix the issue" and then not explaining how they fixed everybody would be under the comments ask how and they never replied lol
-
Abort, Retry, Fail? (@ruinah) reported@1981Graf @NakiVT @Steam For promoting and glamorizing slavery and human abuse. If that's not obvious from a quick glance, that's your problem not mine.
-
A15 Set Up (@UpA1226287) reported@Wale_Nikes @Steam BaBa u later see the steam card issue sort?
-
🇺🇸 King Elsydeon 🇺🇸 (@King_Elsydeon) reported@obakepam @Steam AI is not a problem. Shovelware predates AI by years.
-
Nobody (@LowlMusic) reported@NakiVT @Steam i dont see the problem.
-
Samy (@LongDuZgegs) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam Where is the problem? It’s a plantation simulator. Did you go to school and learn anything about history?
-
JuLieMine (@juliemine_rus) reported@2_left_thumbs @JohnTit11284680 @Steam i ran into problem of some games not running well because they turned out to be made on unreal engine or unity. i dont have issues with 2D unity games, but a lot of 3D ones run very poorly. i think most other people dislike certain for proper reasons too.
-
Chauncey (@chauncey_NYC) reported@studiozaum @Steam Any idea if this will address some of the other sound/voiceover issues? I’ve encountered issues with both the guy at the top of the pylon and the music seller guy in the bazaar, halfway through a conversation the dialogue voice over will just stop playing.
-
Mehmet (@Antepli_4EVER) reported@valvesoftware @Steam First fix the cheating problem in cs go 2
-
Voidy 🏳️⚧️🖤 (@voidyfrown) reported@itsmja00 @Steam I put in a refund request and they gave me an error lol I’m not even really expecting anything I just don’t morally agree with how they’ve conducted themselves. If the game was still running and being updated I wouldn’t request a refund, and I haven’t opened it in years
-
Aegis of Avalon (@AegisOfAvalon) reported@Pirat_Nation @Steam @valvesoftware In an ideal world yes, but it's more to the effect of a grandfathered in aspect. Roughly 75% of everyone is there, other options are almost moot, as a cult following talks about convenance, and then complains about every aspects it creates. If one want's to be able to refund any game, expect that game to be 100 dollars, especially when purchasing it from a 3rd party store front. Don't mistake the issue. This is not a "Steam" issue, it's an informed consumer issue. So what Gabe Newell says is technically true, but the users are on auto pilot to the next fad, not proper investment. It is the consumer that makes Steam a "monopoly", not Steam/Valve itself. #StopKillingGames #DirectSupport #FundAllocation
-
Pathos (@DreamRemnants) reported@EA @Steam probably should have extended refund period if this is a known issue.
-
The Homersexual (@The_Homersexual) reported@Steam I can't login to my account and it's not sending me an email to reset my password can you help me.
-
Josh the BLACKEST Animator 🇨🇦 🎺🎺 (@JoshAnimator) reported@NakiVT @Steam What's the problem? Sounds like it could be fun.
-
Galen Valdrof (@GalenValdrof) reported@MaekaAmaya @Steam While I have zero issues with AI used....as long as it is up front, and I don't care if it was used or not, this is still a good idea and feature. AI is just a new brand of potato chips, allow people to filter it out if they want.
-
Fragoso Ent ▶️ Wishlist GRIM HOPE (@FENTLLC) reported@obakepam @Steam AI stream lines a lot of the work flow in game development and removes all the annoying **** developers had to deal with back in the day. Developers still have to go in manually build systems, add the art to the UI, fix bugs in the code etc..
-
Odd Job for President (@MarkS26th) reported@Steam Can't sign in, changed password again, can't sign in, changed password again. Don't recognize my email address that you've had for years, missing download for Rome Total War, Steam support is ****, Steam website is ****. Don't respond to requests for support. Steam is ****
-
Daniel Ericksen (@Erickdanielson9) reported@Steam @Steam_Support How do I make a ticket if I can’t login? I need assistance. No phone number. No email. Just the app which I can’t log into. If I lose thousands of dollars in games I’m going to be so upset. I just need to talk to someone for 5-10 minutes.
-
kazım öğünmez (@kzmogunmez) reported@upgradepcfr @Steam Similar problem @KarenVault on X sorted it out.
-
Daniel Ericksen (@Erickdanielson9) reported@Steam @Steam_Support I need help, I can't sign into steam support to enter a ticket because I'm encountering a log in error. I attempted to change my password but have no gone over the attempts. Every PW change kicked me out to an error. Can't find any other way to contact
-
