Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Red Sox Royal Rooter (@RoyalRooterSox) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Unable to buy due to errors for 20+ minutes, then it sold out. Crazy.
-
IoriShakor (aka Jamaal) (@IoriShakor) reported@Snowmobile2004 @Steam @OnDeck I'm glad it worked for you, but it looks like a lot of other people have the same issue and tried more times. The algorithm God blessed you
-
RarelyBarelyGaming (@Barelygaming0) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That is a broken system. Valve knows the base, how you not ganna make enough.... Wut.
-
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
-
Joseph Avery (@M00nlitCr0w) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Apparently it’s not what we thought. PS4 hackers were stealing games. This was a response to that. Buy a game for the duration of the return period it’s a temporary license. After that login and get a new one that’s traditional.
-
135.x (@135dotx) reported@Pirat_Nation Don't care. Microslop had years➕ to fix @Windows & are only doing it now bc losing ppl to Linux & @Steam. These companies will never learn – I hope gamers finally do. Money is voting power & I haven't spent any since "Xbox One (won)".
-
KV12 (@KnightVision12) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck “That’s not demand, that’s a broken purchase system.” ok clanker
-
Snow (@Snowmobile2004) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It’s not broken, you just had to keep clicking. Worked for me on the 10th try. They were basically being ddosed so this is to be expected
-
Herman G. Krueger (@HermanKrue10077) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Bro, is this a late April fool? You have perhaps one of the shittiest launchers ever made in pc history. Every ******* time I open Uplay I have to resyinc some **** or login again. Just do yourself a favour, close that Cloaca Maxima and bring your games on Steam already.
-
Julianthethief (@RedeYesHood) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam @UbisoftSupport the source of the problem is ur own goddamn launcher and not steam so don't spread misinformation .
-
Gregory Opera (@greg_opera) reported@minkrov @Anaya_sharma876 @Steam The games themselves aren't the problem - most anticheat systems actually support Linux *natively* these days... The problem is that the developers behind many multiplayer games *choose* to blacklist Linux because they're anti-Linux. Also, they're a small part of the industry.
-
markemark1286 (@MarkBerryh45268) reported@ThisOldGuy3 @Steam @grok I've never played. Is it good? I need a good game to fix my brain.
-
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
-
Taco Man (@TacoMaestro_) reported@ajshpprd @Steam Same here. I even preloaded my steam wallet to try to avoid any issues
-
LoppyDaCutie (@DaNamesLily) reported@SteamVR @Steam I fully unplugged my pc and still got a error 450
-
JumexTrump (IQ-150) (SAT-2250) 🇵🇱🇷🇺🗽 💊 (@jumex_trump) reported@Steam Hahaha it's the hot fix patches in GE that make it work...
-
Moonfishy (@The__Moonfish) reported@Steam fix your damn CAPTCHA i just want my account back.
-
Dragon 369 (@Nuqle0us) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Fix Your Anticheat on cs2 every game is 1 or 3 cheaters AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
-
PatriotCentral (@patriot_central) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It is server overload, dummy. Nothing was broken. You are just retarded.
-
Fallout Flashy (@DrewFlashy1) reportedI was skeptical about @Steam's controller costing an outrageous $100, $30 more than a Nintendo Pro controller. However, I now know you can open it to maybe fix it yourself and if you drop it, it Wilhelm screams. Such humanity is worth it. Our household will have 2.
-
kayseed (@kayseeed) reported@Feeh_LacerdaS @studiozaum @Steam the specific sentiment was regarding the individuals on the team who were the sole reason the issues came to happen in the first place. don't be obtuse
-
The Goat (@_the__Goat_) reported@benheck @Steam You're not wrong. Yes, I'm fully aware of why Linux hasn't taken over. A major "problem" is bombarding potential users with too many choices (distro, partition scheme, filesystem, etc., etc., etc.) before they even get a login prompt.
-
Calculated (@CalculatedNtry) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your ****** launcher that's the problem
-
Maria 🧋 (@LosMariaLove) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I had no issue. It likely crashed do to high traffic
-
Mr. Killeverything (@MrKillevrything) reported@GooningOnRumble @Steam Wtf? I don't believe that I have ever had this issue.
-
Gengoralt (@GengoraltP) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam The problem is YOUR ******* LAUNCHER YOU USELESS PIECE OF ****!
-
that guy (@danny_mcnasty) reported@smith_rust @valvesoftware @Steam While I hate scalpers, and they were no doubt part of the problem by being apart of the server load, it's not their fault I couldn't purchase one. I had it in my cart at 10:00 PT, immediately went to checkout, and was never able to complete the purchase. My error message didn't change from "error initializing your transaction" to "items in your cart are out of stock" for 40 minutes. This is on Valve and their backend not being able to handle the purchasing traffic. I just hope they're able to identify the issues and make updates so this doesn't happen again in the next batch, the Steam Box, or the Frame
-
Skylar167 (@Skylar167Twitch) reported@DaynglsGuides @valvesoftware @Steam I got this error and couldn't get it, and now its out of stock
-
LoppyDaCutie (@DaNamesLily) reported@Steam hey somebody at the steam vr dev team made it so i get a 450 error everytime i press play on steam link on the oculus quest 3S and its pissing me off because im sitting here draining my headsets battery while trying to play vr
-
FirearmsFun (@Deimos9119) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Lmao.. It had that error due to server overload.. FROM DEMAND.. You should've clicked more bud.
