スペンサー (@Augm3nt3_1) reported@valvesoftware @Steam To those getting the “transaction” error just keep spamming continue, it take a minute or two but it will go though!
-
Cosmodiver (@Cosmodiver) reported@CharlieFlufboi @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah, looks like even people trying to buy it on Steam are running into errors and can’t purchase it lol
-
яυѕтуρωη (@Rusty_PWN) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your game, not their, and it's your launcher causing the problem. Nobody likes you and the reason is this kind of bullshit on top of your dogshit code
-
John Kennedy Peterson (@skyshark88) reported@Steam What is the major malfunction with your system? I’ve had to create new account. Try to sign into the old one give reset Passwords. What a ******* nightmare and still can’t sign in what what’s wrong with your system? Same thing happened to my nephew. What’s wrong with your system?
-
Chad Oliver ☮️ 🖖 (@EternalCMO) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Most digital storefronts,including Steam, require a login to verify game licenses; it varies how often. That timer on newly purchased PSN games is to fix a loophole where customers were receiving refunds, but still had access. It'll go away once the 30-day refund window closes.
-
Fredinator (@Fredinator85) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This is bullshit and you know it. It is your broken launcher failing. Get rid of uplay. Nobody uses it anyway unless they are forced to
-
It's Totally Mikoto Time! (@MikotoWolfskin) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Selling out in 36 minutes is absolutely bathetic! Where is the Que? Preorders? Why did you not stop scalping! 2 per customer didn't help! in the start 1 per customer and stop reviewer from getting one in the start. Endless transaction error. Highly disappointed!
-
Skywalker D. Luiee (@LuieeSkyWalker) reported@Steam @Steam_Support I’ve been trying to checkout the steam controller since it went live keep getting an error and now it’s sold out? I should’ve been able to purchase at 10am pct when I put it in my cart
-
Bigdaddywoodlin (@NotWoodlin94) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Hahahaha wtf are you on about, it doesn’t effect anyone. If you don’t have internet for 30 days that’s your issue not there’s hahaha
-
ennio (@RollzNoiz) reported@Steam @thetiffopotamus @thanhuki fix vac in CS2, ban then cheaters you limp biscuits, freck you, muppets
-
hombo (@RGB_MIDAS) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Actually the issue usually lies within your launcher and not Steam's. There is absolutely no reason why I need to enter my password every time for *some* games but it works fine for others. There has never been a single day where uPlay/Ubisoft Connect has been good.
-
\m/-=3Đ∇サ=-\m/ (@CargoShortLife) reportedIt's super cool of @Steam to have a generic "disk write error" that has nothing to do with an error writing to the disk...
-
Red (@redre1ated) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Many will have you believe this was a sort of bug, glitch, accident...I think ive read all sorts of damage control nonsense in the last 36hrs. Sony consoles had DRM. And the only reason WHY they didn't use it fully was due to the backlash of the 2013 Xbox One E3 conference.
-
Megaleg3 🐝 (@Megaleg03) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Would have copped if the checkout didnt crash…
-
Sydney Louw Butler (@GendoWasRight) reported@TankeryChan @valvesoftware @Steam Through the government postal service maybe. Never had a DHL or other private shipping company lose a single item, and I receive a LOT because of my job.
-
Sigma The Fox (@SigmaTheFox) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam clearing steam's download cache does not fix "games not starting" issues at all, ubisoft. it only deletes what is currently being downloaded... Why would a game that relies on your useless launcher not start because of a download happening on steam, when it's ready to play?
-
Calculated (@CalculatedNtry) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your ****** launcher that's the problem
-
Johnny Costello (@johnnyluvschu) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam I fully intended to get GTA 6 ok PS but with this I’d rather wait until it come out on PC. Not even a PS issue but the inconvenience and mental load of having to open my PS If I’m playing on PC, it’s not much, just more effort than I’m willing to give.
-
Dunay (@dunay_sc) reported@jdezutter @valvesoftware @Steam they seem to still have *memory* issues
-
Undefeated (@NeedtoKnowBassi) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Bad enough they got issue that they can't fix with the console itself.
-
ennio (@RollzNoiz) reported@Steam fix vac in CS2, ban then cheaters you limp biscuits, freck you, muppets
-
CarlVitoGaming (@carlvito_gaming) reportedHonestly players should not be allowed to write reviews on Steam Games until 1. The game has been out for X amount of time and 2. They've actually played an X amount of the game. Most games fail not due to server issues or launch days but due to negative reviews @Steam #Steam
-
Sarge 🔞 (@hiddensarge) reported@cooliocool7997 @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah it's really pricey for us. However I do prefer this at that pricepoint than my current xbox one controlller that got a tons of issues (one been they sometike forget they are linked to my pc, or refuse to close down while holding down the xbox logo buttons
-
𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐑𝐀 (@Ramattra___) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Remove the mandatory Ubisoft Connect login for games bought on Steam and things would already be so much better. Even better, just get rid of Ubisoft Connect entirely.
