Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GlimsTC Glims (@GlimsTC) reported

    @Steam How is it that Steam is never able to handle the load of people for things like this? Steam shouldn't bug out or crash every single time the summer sale or something like this happens

  • TENSI0N_ Garrett (@TENSI0N_) reported

    @Steam @Steam Can we please fix the "Too many purchases" situation??

  • ShleepyShiro //SHIR✪. (@ShleepyShiro) reported

    @Steam Ngl this is the shittiest time I have had trying to pre-order a new console. Constant errors and now I have to wait bc u think I am "attempting a lot of purchases" when I just want one damn thing. They will be gone by the time u let me make the ******* purchase.

  • daniel_bart Daniel Bartholomew (@daniel_bart) reported

    @Steam "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again." ...ummm, no. I've been trying to make ONE purchase, and y'all keep having errors.

  • GetKraven Dæmien Kravinov (@GetKraven) reported

    well no **** I've been a lot of purchases in the last few hours @Steam , every time I try to go into the review order page it says there may have been an error. Man, i really hope o get to reserve one

  • rexy Rex 🦖 🚀 ✊🏾 (@rexy) reported

    @film_girl @Steam Question is: are we actually locked out with this repeat purchase error or should we keep trying? This sucks.

  • dienekes00 Gabe Francis (@dienekes00) reported

    @Steam Hit refresh at noon waiting. Get an error on processing. Keep trying. LOCKED OUT FOR TOO MANY PURCHASES?!? I haven't made any! Unjust, unfair, just awful. "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again."

  • CipherpunkChris Christopher McLaughlin (@CipherpunkChris) reported

    @Shivian @Steam I love how the servers are getting hammered but they're having no trouble tracking how many attempts you've made.

  • GorianLorien Layne (@GorianLorien) reported

    Thanks @Steam.... I've been trying to reserve the SteamDeck since exactly 10:00AM PDT, and 16 minutes later I've had nothing but 403 errors and multiple errors trying to purchase both with paypal and credit card until I get blocked from buying anything. Great launch...

  • jims1973 Jim Simon (@jims1973) reported

    @film_girl @Steam What problems are you having I was able to reserve and checkout without issue!

  • PolitikPaladin Paladin (@PolitikPaladin) reported

  • M4nd4lorek Bart Pulosky (@M4nd4lorek) reported

    @Steam are you serious? Your purchase system has an "error" and then blocks me off because I tried to do too many purchases? Sad sad joke.

  • Kateismyfate Kate (@Kateismyfate) reported

    @JetBlackRJT @Steam that error can mean hours of no store access, so it means odds are we're stuck waiting because they didn't disable that today >:C

    Ok how long @Steam will it be until all 3rd party get mad about their games going to somewhere else for no added monies like the Nvidia Streaming service (yes i know its a different product) but still i got reservations about the #SteamDeck
