    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck You just had to keep clicking continue. There was a bajillion users all trying to buy at the same time, no system can handle that its basically a DDoS attack lol.

  • TheVisitorSNAFU
    Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen (@TheVisitorSNAFU) reported

    @GooningOnRumble @Steam Did stream also crash? Some delisted products if gifted from an inventory won’t work and can crash the system. Also is the game sold in the West or is it an Asian game like Dead Or Alive volleyball?

  • StirlingForge
    Stirling Forge (Unsupervised) (@StirlingForge) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam transaction error at exactly 10:00am. the bots won

    @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

  • isthatvark
    TheVark (@isthatvark) reported

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Had this issue as well, truly unfortunate they didn't let cart holders hold onto their spot. This error eventually went away after 30-40 mins, and just got a sold out notification at check out. truly cooked.

  • LuieeSkyWalker
    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

  • SgtMccray
    Billy Exeter (@SgtMccray) reported

    @MrKillevrything @GooningOnRumble @Steam Now THAT is saying something. If MKE has many gifted games and has never run into the issue…I don’t know. But I can’t wait for all the stupid suggestions like “Did you check the router?”

  • onermertt
    mertowski (@onermertt) reported from Germencik, Aydın

    When are you planning to address the cheating issue in this game? We come in hoping for some peace and enjoyment, but we end up leaving with red marks of frustration. Please review the account I've submitted a ticket for! @Steam @Steam_Support @CounterStrike

    @Q4Q4U @UbisoftSupport @Steam Still having the same issue?

    @choehau_ara @Steam @Steam_Support So then they should fix it.... As their consoles run Linux afterall

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Fine for me. User error.

  • IRISHANARCHY199
    CelticTiger (@IRISHANARCHY199) reported

    @KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam I think the main reason for the frustration is the storefront collapsing under the pressure within the first second of the item going up for purchase. I wouldn’t have gotten one myself if I hadn’t brute-forced the continue button on the purchase screen that kept giving errors.

  • IoriShakor
    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

    @valvesoftware @Steam Sucks you were able to let me put in money no problem, but let the scalpers buy everything.

  • DJignyte
    Ignyte (@DJignyte) reported

    @Steam @discord @Windows The CLOSEST thing I got to it working the way I want, is by launching steam or discord via powershell. Which half works (does for Discord). But I launch steam by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Friends' so the friends list appears. Which the powershell thing doesnt fix.

  • BlueXcoat
    BlueXcoat (@BlueXcoat) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Just keep selling controllers at the same price till scalpers give up buying, infinite money glitch and then it could be available to all of the customers right now. Would advise for everyone to not even buy the reselling options from ebay. @valvesoftware

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam funny that isnt a problem with any other non ubisoft game, detele the ******* launcher requriement

  • BarryTCks
    Barry Ticks (@BarryTCks) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam just a friendly tip for my favourite company of all time, due to the controller issue recently, limit the steam frame and machine 1 per household, and a similar process to the new controller protocol you just announced. To stop trolls. So we don’t miss out.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Rainbow Six Siege is asking for an activation code even though it's free-to-play. The game shows as owned on both Steam and Ubisoft Connect. Steam ID: 76561199701512544. This is a license sync issue on your end, please escalate to your technical team

    @Steam Gaben is the best and we love Steam but it'd be VERY unfortunate for this to be a problem when I've spent well over a thousand dollars on Steam over the past 15 years.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Good. Hopefully the reservation queue doesn’t crash Steam again tomorrow
