    @WBGamesSupport @Steam Why is #HogwartsLegacy not working for most of the people!! It's one hour later and we're trying to play it but it doesn't work. "It's available on 10th February " But we have the Deluxe Version. So we should be able to play it. HELP #HogwartLegacy

  • Tesse_Raptor 𝕋𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕖_ℝ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕠𝕣 🦖🎲🎮 (@Tesse_Raptor) reported

    @HogwartsLegacy and @Steam I paid for a Deluxe edition because I was very excited to play again in the Hogwarts world. I paid more money to have early access and we don't receive any news from both company. Issues and bad management of these issues are a bad mix.

  • whythepudding buttered cat (@whythepudding) reported

    @Steam Hogwarts Legacy early access is not working for pc players, please activate it 😭

  • Marcin84366247 Marcin (@Marcin84366247) reported

    @Steam Seems like it's a Steam issue for everyone who bought from a 3rd party and steam is working on it. Kinda feels like they did it on purpose to discourage anyone from buying outside of steam.

    @Azeliitaa @Hogwartssite @Steam My girlfriend had the same issue, if you haven't already, create a desktop icon and start the game from there. That fixed it and she's playing I type this.

  • MaxUCutie Max Cabrera (@MaxUCutie) reported

    @fembassist @Steam @GreenManGaming The greenmangaming key is not the problem. It’s a typical steam problem I had the same problem with farcry 5 and F12022 and this games I bought on steam

  • jpbeeman JustinTlME (@jpbeeman) reported

    @Steam you guys really need to fix your PC releases. There is no reason why games are released at 1:00pm and it still doesn’t work. 72 hours early access, why not release slowly starting at midnight? @AvalancheWB and @HogwartsLegacy any help here. What is going on?

  • Thanesh50321854 Thanesh (@Thanesh50321854) reported

    @WBGamesSupport @ImBadAtTh1s Closing @Steam app and reopening doesnt fix hogwarts legacy! The game wont unpack on steam. I want a full refund for this bs.

  • lumeylee lumey (@lumeylee) reported

    Please fix the Issue with Hogwarts Legacy @Steam @HogwartsLegacy. I didn‘t buy early Access just to wait!

  • TritonZ__GG TritonZtheJetpacker (@TritonZ__GG) reported

    @Steam fix the early access

  • NivetFox Nivet (@NivetFox) reported

    @Pau1899 @Steam What's wrong with it? You can probably request a refund for monkey island if you can't fix it.

  • Hanfpanda1 Hanfpanda (@Hanfpanda1) reported

    @Fanatical @SupremeAnu @Steam do you know how long it took them to solve the problem with football manager 2023?

  • Enzevil Enzevil (@Enzevil) reported

    @HogwartsLegacy @Steam @WBGamesSupport There are tons of people, including me, who still can't play this game even though we bought the Deluxe Edition for Early Access. People who bought it outside of Steam can't play it, please fix it or give us a status update or something...

  • FbBamg Bamg FB (@FbBamg) reported

    @Fanatical @RhubinThePet do you have a rough time scale as i'm supposed to be streaming it, im going to have to just start my stream and play something else which sucks! Common @Steam please hurry up and sort this issue

  • IrregularCraig Craig Tone (@IrregularCraig) reported

    I don’t know why it’s impossible to reach @Steam @Steam_Support when I haven issue that isn’t listed in the basic pre generated tabs to select. Customer support is nonexistent.

  • Gillidabassman Giggs (@Gillidabassman) reported

    @Steam why is everyone who paid to have 72 hours early access to hogwarts legacy being made to wait? we need a fix now absolutely terrible behaviour big companies should be able to anticipate these problems

  • LDCrypto00 David White (@LDCrypto00) reported
