Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Lone_Gamer3k DE (@Lone_Gamer3k) reported

    @Steam it wouldnt be an issue for example how many have you sent out to youtube people who havent worked a single day in their life? it just shows people especially the younger generation that they dont have to work to get things, all they need is a self entitlement complex

  • GamingAndTechHQ Gaming And Tech HQ (@GamingAndTechHQ) reported

    good as downloading games via @Steam. Although, the service is only $14.99 per month, and does include downloads on console and PC and an @EAPlay membership with no extra cost, so it may be worth it for those with an XBOX console. Time to go collect some gamerscore!!

  • GeneralCustard_ General Custard (@GeneralCustard_) reported

    @Steam Can you guys make a separate type of review for optimization issues on steam? I'm getting tired of games having bad review scores because of launch problems. I'm sure people like knowing about that stuff, but I don't consider it a review of the game itself.

  • astromecanik astromecanik (@astromecanik) reported

    Followers, I planned to stream @ELDENRING tonight, but given its continued technical issues on @Steam, I've decided to cancel the stream. I'm going to lean back and play some obscure game tonight from my backlog lol. May watch some streams as well. Happy gaming 🎮!

  • vin1_garcia night sky blade (@vin1_garcia) reported

    @Natalie33192228 @Steam_Support @Steam the problem is that they charge a lot, I'm from Brazil and my account is not even worth 50 dol

  • AdrianAmadio adrian amadio (@AdrianAmadio) reported

    @Steam havin issue getting into my account i got locked out of it need help

  • Spicoceles Ploob #BLM (@Spicoceles) reported

    @Steam This game is wonderful. Definetly has some problems but when they're patched out itll be even more wonderful. I jumped and got sucked into the air, froze for 40 seconds and then JUST, COLLAPSED AND DIED lmao it was a glitch

  • DanRais_offic Dan Rais (@DanRais_offic) reported

    @OnDeck @Steam Hey steam! I am in Q1 but still no email.. anybody facing the same issue?

  • izzypetersart izzy paints (comms open, info pinned) (@izzypetersart) reported

    @beardyplaisance @ELDENRING @Steam Yeah I've been through em all, there's just no fix yet, and if I keep it much longer, no refund either... I miss the days when PC games worked on launch (looking at you, cdprojektred)

  • cmues Chandler | Cmue (@cmues) reported

    @Steam @Rainbow6Game **** your services. vac ban for cheating never cheated and non negotiable that's ******* ret*rded you need to look in to this **** because i did nothing wrong. stop going of reports sorry I'm better then your ****** player community. i'll show my files FIX IT

  • SokPuppette Sok Puppette (@SokPuppette) reported

    @soyfrien @Steam Platforms are responsible for CP on their systems unless they meet "best practices" set by a packed commision. Those WILL include scanning private messages (which therefore can't be encrypted). This will do zero for your problem, which is happening in plaintext and is not CP.

  • kessilrun Kessilrun (@kessilrun) reported

    @Steam Can you guys create a gaming PC/ console/ mini-PC already? We need a savior. With everything going the service play route, and gamepass route...both models I don't agree with. We need a platform that supports the old ways, that allow modding and community generated content

  • astromecanik astromecanik (@astromecanik) reported

    Sad to report that the stuttering issues present since release and in @ELDENRING v1.02 still occur after this @AMD update, even if my setup exceeds the recommended specs detailed in the @steam store page.

  • B8W_MLL Brian West (@B8W_MLL) reported

    @Steam has got to be the shutters site in existence. Try to login on a new device and says they’ve sent a verification code 30+ times. Nothing. Then realise they have no contact email. Tried literally everything. Almost like they don’t want money. So **** it’s unreal!

  • HotWot 🇨🇦 HotWot 🇨🇦 (@HotWot) reported

    @Golem501 @Steam Not in steam we gotta manually log in and out unlike wot’s game manger that stores my fams login’s

  • MackLastName M (@MackLastName) reported

    @ELDENRING @Steam I love when a game that is a performance mess releases and you go over the 2 hour steam return window trying to fix it. Guess I threw away 60$ because steam denied my refund request. Look at the steam user score... I wonder if this is a widespread issue

  • GeraltPepeRivia Geralt O. Rivia (@GeraltPepeRivia) reported

    @steiniger_tim @ELDENRING @Steam Xbox Elite 2 here... unplugged every single thing from PC... updated everything... tried every setting... not working

  • beardyplaisance Nick 'beardy' Plaisance (@beardyplaisance) reported

    @izzypetersart @ELDENRING @Steam Apparently there have been some issues on PC that the developers are trying to quickly address- youre not alone. A couple articles on Kotaku, Polygon, and IGN if youre looking for more info

  • eyresey91 Liam Eyres (@eyresey91) reported

    @Steam Are we getting a fix for the controller any time soon? I can’t play this and you won’t refund me for BF2042 I don’t want to be down twice

  • brotha_on Rock_on_brotha (@brotha_on) reported

    Anyone knows how long it takes for @Steam_Support to get back to you if you have a issue. After paying for 2 games took the money for it but the games aren't in my library @Steam #steamsupport

  • itsbiills Biills (@itsbiills) reported

    im trying to reset my password and every time i put in my email to get sent a link to reset it i get an error message @Steam @Steam_Support help...

  • astromecanik astromecanik (@astromecanik) reported

    Sad to report that the stuttering issues present since release and in @ELDENRING v1.02 still occur after this @AMD update, even if my setup exceeds the recommended specs detailed in the @steam store page.

  • izzypetersart izzy paints (comms open, info pinned) (@izzypetersart) reported

    Anyone else completely flummoxed by the @ELDENRING white screen crash on launch? I've tried everything (please don't tell me about epic games launcher) and just can't even start the game. Time to request a @Steam refund I guess 😔 #ELDENRING

  • RokekeShay Ro (@RokekeShay) reported

    @Steam @Steam hey my husband and I need help logging into his account. The kicker is we haven’t had a laptop/pc for a few years and the phone number linked is no longer in service and we can’t get any farther without support, which in itself has been hell just to send a ticket.

  • UncleSam_1776 Samuel Wilson (@UncleSam_1776) reported

    @Steam I'm having trouble logging into Steam! Please help!

  • lalalaurennn12 Lala Blu 👾 (@lalalaurennn12) reported

    @NCarney_14 @Steam I don’t understand why though. I’ve been seeing a lot of people have that issue

  • dreadravenanzu a gay-lady loving homosexual woman person💙 (@dreadravenanzu) reported

    Well @ELDENRING put out a patch that did nothing for the invisible enemies problem, which they still haven't even acknowledged so I just went ahead and requested a refund from @Steam because it's bull that they haven't even acknowledged it.

  • mBOFFe8BxOuPo4f Михаил Васильев (@mBOFFe8BxOuPo4f) reported

    @Steam Hello. very annoying problem. I got vac ban. I have never played with programs. this is very embarrassing. support can't help. inventory for $50. please help me to resolve this issue. account "ganjik121"

  • IggyDinosaur IggyADinosaur (@IggyDinosaur) reported

    @Steam needs to fix achievements popping up during play. I don't want to see them--they spoil content in the game...

  • THUGNASTY_05 Mafffew ♠️ (@THUGNASTY_05) reported

    @Steam run me back my ******* money for the broken *** game I bought. Your service is ****. **** you.
