  • ItsEclipsa Jordy (@ItsEclipsa) reported

    @KyameronYT @Steam Mate, I genuinely hope you get it sorted. **** like that is a pain. On the upside, when you do get on, you won't be met with server issues.

  • Telominas Telomina 🌸Emote Artist🌸 (@Telominas) reported

    @MoonglowBay @Steam I had an issue that I googled.. you can't actually call the radio to get towed back? Or does that only work if the boat is totally crashed?

  • AndyCole1984 Andy Cole (@AndyCole1984) reported from Vancouver, British Columbia

    @trekonlinegame i just bought 500 zen in game via the @Steam overlay but it didnt work. It added the funds to my wallet but when i clicked authorize nothing happened. It just says its pending. Never had this problem before. How long will i have to wait?

  • L_beneficia Naitsirhc (@L_beneficia) reported

    @Steam This game should be free. Ubi can suck my tiny little nuts if they think imma buy a game and all 30 of their broken $10 character additions

  • marluv_21 Maria Luz O.Bation (@marluv_21) reported

    @Iyeetyou1 @Steam I couldn’t log in to my account, I have changed my mobile phone number when I try to log in to the app with my old registered phone number with my original passcode I get an error message. Till I reached out to Unitech_Support on Insta and they assisted me in getting my account.

  • FootballKickass Kickass Football (@FootballKickass) reported

    @Steam @EASPORTSFIFA Where is my FIFA 22 Ultimate Edition??? I bought it in the Halloween sale, played around 60 hours of it. Can log in to my Companion but that's it. It shows I don't own it & need to buy it again?! Someone please contact me & fix this asap. #Fifa22

  • Hiroki_Etsuko Hiroki Etsuko 🏳️‍🌈💙 (@Hiroki_Etsuko) reported

    @SquareEnix @Steam Fix it and I buy them all. Also, no forced EGS linking on any game.

  • Wolfstargamer Grifter Wolf is WolfStarGaming 🏳️‍🌈🎮 (@Wolfstargamer) reported

    @haizy97 @DeadByBHVR @Steam It happens randomly to me, not just Tuesdays. I've had it happen throughout the week. And each time it's maybe 2 minutes. Long enough to lose pips and get a disconnect penalty in the game. But hey. Nothing gets fixed anyway.

  • haizy97 Haizy97 (@haizy97) reported

    @Wolfstargamer @DeadByBHVR @Steam Well before u go blaming BHVR make sure its not your steam causing the issue.

  • The_Jxshy man man (@The_Jxshy) reported

    @Steam fix your ******* ****, apex update is just ******* hard stuck and won’t download.

  • TurboLucius TurboLucius (@TurboLucius) reported

    @Tyler_McV @valvesoftware @Steam not to mention the "reboot steamvr and try again" error at launch that happens randomly, which shows up... on desktop or the random crashes or the blinking eye glitch during loading screens or the translation errors in the french version (one in the 1st min of dialogue lmao)

  • soldieroffuton Soldier of Futon (@soldieroffuton) reported

    Well... I was gonna pick up the new #GuardiansoftheGalaxygame but my @Steam is doing that thing where the store is blacked out, and I can't remember how to fix it without looking it up. 60 bucks saved! (For now anyhow)

  • acohade1 Antoine Cohade (@acohade1) reported

    @Steam, some files in my steamcloud got corrupted, and crash a game, is there a way to get access to previous steamcloud files / backups ??

  • kapLockwood kirstie lockwood (@kapLockwood) reported

    I mean I would still really, really like it if @Steam_Support would get in touch as this is obviously a problem that is not isolated and it's not good pr to ignore your customers @Steam

  • WlfbrProduction Kevin (@WlfbrProduction) reported

    @TaxiChaos @knight_vulgar @Steam Gotta give him credit for noting the repetitiveness of the dialogue at least, seems like it's only an issue on Xbox and Steam, PlayStation and Switch thankfully doesn't have that issue

  • _FireKicks PsrK_FireKicks (@_FireKicks) reported

    @Steam Hey ummm you know steam and Apex downloads are broken right?

  • AlexDavis155 Alex Davis (@AlexDavis155) reported

    @DemonNipple @SteamStatus @Steam Bud this guy doesn't work for steam, he's doing it as a service to the community

  • bingobrewster bingo brewster 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #Vets4EU👨‍👨‍👧‍👧FBPE (@bingobrewster) reported

    @steam some of the games on your platform stop working, some take more than 2 hours to diagnose as not working. To say you are not interested if someone cannot play a purchase after 2 hours is not acceptable! I have spent many hours trying to get Startrek Bridge crew to work

  • V1echa V1echa (@V1echa) reported

    @14nLach @Steam thats ******* FUN when you going and clicking every option, you can get to pick, nice ******* error from #steam #csgo #stockholmmajor , lovely :(

  • CROFTM0RGAN reboot lara defender (@CROFTM0RGAN) reported

    @SquareEnix @Steam it's only playable after you downloaded 2847283 fan patches because all the classic games are broken and that's why we need ports, remasters and remakes. have a good night

  • Bellboy543 Bellboy Rudland (@Bellboy543) reported

    @ivalenska @Steam Finally my hacked account was perfectly fixed by @Ballersacademy. He is trusted and guaranteed for the service

  • fanks1771 Fanks (@fanks1771) reported

    hi @Steam why I can't open main store page via steam client, even though I can open it just fine using firefox browser?? I can open profile, wishlist, community, etc via steam client just fine, but the main featured store page just froze in blank page. pls fix thx

  • dahnbo danbo (@dahnbo) reported

    @DYeeks @Steam not working either. HARD UNINSTALL NO 🧢

  • itstimewithtim Time with Tim (@itstimewithtim) reported

    @LitUnPlay @Steam is there a known issue for download and disk writing speed? Gaben pls

  • rheimbrother Richie Heimbrock (@rheimbrother) reported

    I guess @Steam going down seconds after I was making note of how it's been really having more and more issues than usual is on brand at least

  • CalypsisCroft Calypsis (@CalypsisCroft) reported

    @JimmyBeon @SquareEnix @Steam Widescreen issues, no controller support, at least 1 or two of the classics don't even open for people without patches, etc. Yes it OPENS, but it sure as **** isn't enjoyable without the fixes.

  • BlueIvyRedWorld RedIvy (@BlueIvyRedWorld) reported

    @Tyler_McV @valvesoftware @Steam This interface is incredibly bad. I don’t get why they don’t just create a flatscreen launcher so this is less annoying and fatiguing and is easier to mod, or they don’t fix it. They just ported a bad flatscreen UI into VR in a way that they should know wouldn’t work.

  • SiteMangatom Mangatom / Indie-A-tom (@SiteMangatom) reported

    @Steam Hi. I believe I may had my account hacked. I have acess to it and changed password. The problem is that I'm a reviewer and I tryed to add games I received from diferent devs and it got the duplicated message. Can someone be intercepting these keys?

  • MacDrevid Also Dave (@MacDrevid) reported

    @markusmjansson @Steam @ultra_io Pt 1) On steam for example, you have the right to access. Yes, you can theoretically download and if the game is not DRM dependent (another problem web 3 can solve) on steam and play offline but you don't have rights to monetize the game...
