Steam Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RekojViolator Rekoj The Violator (@RekojViolator) reported

    @TripwireInt @Steam But why did yall think that was ever a good idea? I've never seen a game make your grind so hard to earn something then pay to use it lol. It's not even like the key worked on all boxes it worked one time lol. Removing the need for a key shouldn't be much of an issue though.

  • TripwireInt Tripwire Interactive (@TripwireInt) reported

    @RekojViolator @Steam The game has moved away from crate and key towards a direct purchase and seasonal pass model. However removing the old model would be time consuming and prone to error.

  • SupremeCrusader Supreme Crusader (@SupremeCrusader) reported

    @DoomSperg @Steam Try @GOGcom. If a game is on there and Steam, I go with GOG. Not just because they have less issues, all their games are completely DRM free so you truly own the game.

  • WendersonUchoa1 Wenderson Uchoa (@WendersonUchoa1) reported

    Hello Steam, I'm having problems accessing my steam account, it was hacked this Monday morning, they changed my password and my email, I need some help on this, if you can help me to solve this I would be very grateful. @Steam @Steam_Support

  • Lars_Trampedach LarsTrampedach (@Lars_Trampedach) reported

    Why tf are the prices so high on new games!!! On #PS5 @PlayStation fix that **** jeeeez. The new #F1 22 is half the price on @Steam

  • omarismail179 Omar Ismail (@omarismail179) reported

    @Steam My account was hacked and username + email were changed so I’ve lost access. Not sure how to contact steam about the issue. Help?

  • 1godimak 1god-dim-mak (@1godimak) reported

    @BFBulletin @Steam Performance issues. Mouse input, dodgy hit reg, content and lastly new maps. Smaller maps with **********.

  • GamingAspie rs2 petitioner (@GamingAspie) reported

    @TripwireInt @Steam Fix rising storm 2 vietnam

  • xTaniko Taniko (@xTaniko) reported

    @OnDeck @Steam You tell people to contact you when there are problems with buying Steam Deck, yet almost 20h since I created tickets and no response!

  • BrazilianMajima Misha 🏳️‍🌈 (@BrazilianMajima) reported

    @Steam fix your ******* app cause buying literally anything on it ******* sucks

  • Elizabe72668779 Elizabeth Wong (@Elizabe72668779) reported

    @MattProfitt @Steam Sorry about that dear, had similar issue few weeks ago couldn't get help from ig support until a friend advice me to message #cyberking_consultant0 ON Instagram who helped me gain access back to my account without collecting a dime.

  • Fluffyquack FluffyQuack (@Fluffyquack) reported

    @tonyt3rry @ImKatastrophe @Steam I think the Steam scam I've seen the most is the whole "Can you vote for my favourite CS:GO team?" which then directs you to a website with a fake steam login I hope Steam is able to figure out who's behind the scams and ban them

  • elsantirubio Santiago Rubio (@elsantirubio) reported

    @BFBulletin @Steam 108K against 4K... what a f***ing improvement! You still suck. And one of the few things that worked, that was the team balance and AI fill now is totally broken. 42 players against 22 and so on. Shame on you guys. Really....

  • James28761690 James (@James28761690) reported

    @Steam hello yesterday I made a request to your support concerning the acquisition of a game with which I had a problem (it does not appear in my library even though I was taken) I wanted to know how long it takes to be taken into account thank you

  • BlkSpikeSpiegel Jamarkis (@BlkSpikeSpiegel) reported

    @BFBulletin @Steam Their main issue isn't bugs Just about every battlefield game since bad company too has been riddled with them and everyone knows that It's their lack of content If they can work on that and bring more than just one map and 3 guns per season They might actually get a good review

  • Real_ShinAkachi Akachi🔞 (@Real_ShinAkachi) reported

    @gamejolt @itchio @Steam This is both depressing and stupid seeing as you could just add a filter in settings to turn on 18+ (and it already exists so I don't even know what the problem is.)

  • FXBOY4EVA FXBOY4EVA - Press F12 for massive damage. (@FXBOY4EVA) reported

    So this problem persists after a complete purge/reinstall of @Steam , and all error messages indicate an issue with a steam packaged library, so either:- Something in my system is breaking the library (unlikely). Steam linux updates in the last 3 days shipped a broken library.

  • ChezBlosSakura Sakura/ CherryBlossom (@ChezBlosSakura) reported

    @Steam lads just had to buy Battleblock theatre for myself 3 times before you added it to my library due to issues giving me 3 pending transactions Cheers

  • JihyoMining Dave Twice (@JihyoMining) reported

    Thanks for refusing to refund me after I spend 2 hours "playtime" trying to fix the broken game you sold me @Steam @valvesoftware I've been a loyal customer for over 10 years and spend thousands of $ on your store, but a $5 refund is too much for you.

  • jpbeeman JustinTlME (@jpbeeman) reported

    Hey @Steam you really have to get with the times and make your “family sharing” an actual usable service. My wife and I bought a TON of games on my steam account, and were flummoxed to find out she can’t play Doki Doki Literature club while I play Destiny 2. Like why not?!?

  • Caution_R6 Caution (@Caution_R6) reported

    I can't believe how someone got into my steam account while I had steam guard Authenticator on and I didn't receive anything about the login I just receive an sms that my number was removed??? @Steam

  • MattProfitt matty2raddy (@MattProfitt) reported

    My @steam account has been stolen and I can’t sign in how do I get in contact with someone please help

  • Matheus1818 Mathëu (@Matheus1818) reported

    @BFBulletin @Steam If this new dice is smart enough they gonna drop more than 1 map and 1 gun per season, that's the only reason why people want to play. And fix the damn issue like hitreg and aiming

  • DoomSperg Captain Sperg (@DoomSperg) reported

    @Steam ought to issue a refund for the copy of Fallout 3 that is completely unplayable on Windows 10/11. It won't even launch, regardless of any fix I've tried that I found on the internet.

  • Crow27064448 Crow (@Crow27064448) reported

    @Steam has to be the single worst company in the world for customer support. They allow so many scams on their system, basically tell users to get ****** constantly by ignoring the scammers. Almost 2 hours since I submitted a help request, not even a cursory review of my issue.

  • Notaburner7777 TrundletheGreat0 (@Notaburner7777) reported

    @DJ_Casper07 @BFBulletin @Steam It really isn’t that simple, this is the most incomplete AAA game ever released, of course people praised bf5 after the fact. 8 months of trying to fix bugs with no content will inevitably lead to that.

  • miyoshi_vp Miyoshi - Virtual Photographer (@miyoshi_vp) reported

    @BFBulletin @Steam still shouldn't convince players tbh. This game has a lot to fix and is not worth spending. A return to BFV movement system and full loss of 128 would be a start personally

  • Wolverin382 Wolverin382 (@Wolverin382) reported

    @Steam can u help me i cant login and your suppor dont fix my problem i need chat or talk with someone

  • bestfilly Silver Spoon ⓩ (@bestfilly) reported

    @EllyPone @Steam if you still use windows, don't download or run anything that ends in .exe .bat .pif .lnk or anything sus, there's a plethora of stuff, having firefox+ublock origin is already a good secu, but does not prevents the old scam like «Hi i am tech support I send you a link, login pls»

  • Cody_Hecht Khan Ye (@Cody_Hecht) reported

    @CyberpunkGame @Steam PLS ADD AUTO DRIVE LIKE DELAMAIN SERVICE PLEASEEEE
