    Anyone else having frame rate issues in @RocketLeague ? In both the @EpicGames version and @Steam version? Bakkes mod shows my frames jumping from 40fps to 140+fps randomly and it's causing weird stutters.

    @Steam Why is your account signup broken? Is Steam full?

  • pierpytom Pierpaolo Tommasi (@pierpytom) reported

    Hi @Steam! I patiently waited for one year for the #SteamDeck, but I moved country in the meanwhile! I have one day left for the purchase and #Steam is having issues with the initializing / updating transaction. Support won't reply, where can I get some help?

  • Avertzii Avertzii 🌐 (@Avertzii) reported

    $50 Game won’t start @Steam refuses to refund because I spent 3 hours trying to fix game Atleast I’ve been a steam user for over 13 years so they helped me out. JOKING ! They told me to screw off. G2A offers every game cheaper I only used this out of trying to support you. Bye

  • sudo_overflow Cyris (@sudo_overflow) reported

    I know we have enough subscription services but I wouldn't mind a GamePass like subscription service to @Steam. So many games I want to try but can't justify the individual prices that add up.

  • Patrici38997621 Patricia L (@Patrici38997621) reported

    @Steam hey is everyone else's steam server down today?

  • QOL2L8uHTnh3s6e s1mple (@QOL2L8uHTnh3s6e) reported

    @Steam finally,confirm error fixed,it‘s already 17 h past,so fast👍

  • officialnucky Carl (@officialnucky) reported

    @Steam It's included in GP. Why would anyone pay for just EA play as a standalone service?

  • EveryDayTechSJB Everydaytech.StanJB🤖 (@EveryDayTechSJB) reported

    @AdamJMatlock @Steam Steam+ would be an epic service!

  • qawsedrf193 Michael (@qawsedrf193) reported

    @cs_luminou_ @Steam @CitiesSkylines Bro, my account was also stolen. I locked it an hour late! I haven't replied to steam customer service so far. It's too slow. It feels terrible. The account needs to be blocked by VAC and blocked.

  • Christo37592815 Christopher Chown (@Christo37592815) reported

    @Steam Hello. I have a problem with purchasing my Steam Deck. I got the email telling me I could make my purchase after applying, but now it’s stuck on the Review + Purchase screen. I hit purchase but it’s just stuck on ‘Working’ and has been for some time. Thanks.

  • cosmicadman artificial marmalades (@cosmicadman) reported

    @Steam hey can someone send me a password reset link? the captcha on your site is broken with an error message that the captcha failed even after it passed. your website sends me in circles instead of connecting to user support. would love to be able to use the stuff i paid for

  • TheKrakenGains Shreddy (@TheKrakenGains) reported

    @KenniR @DyingLightGame @Steam Why tf would they make a DL3 when DL2 is already broken as **** ? There’s no point making another since nobody will buy it unless this one gets sorted out asap and they actually work on the future one as soon as it starts

  • Florianrival Florian Rival (@Florianrival) reported

    @MarcosCodas @OnDeck @Steam Yeah it's really weird. Like it's not like I'm trying to get it delivered to another country or pay with an usual payment method. I'm getting an error with absolutely everything, from any computer and any location! I just can't pay 🥲

  • Petersoneth23 Peterson (@Petersoneth23) reported

    @i6vnti @Steam That's quite unfortunate, had similar issues, spoke to the customer care but nothing happened until I was referred to @khalid_cybertech on Instagram who helped me out

  • AidanCl63442291 . (@AidanCl63442291) reported

    @Steam Fix your dog **** steam "guard"

  • PalZer0 Dean Rosolen (@PalZer0) reported

    @Steam Something has obviously broken here.

  • Fropsfn Frops (@Fropsfn) reported

    @Steam Steam ur platform sucks, Fix it.

  • popgrrrtart Popgrrrtart (@popgrrrtart) reported

    @Steam why isn't there an option to chat with someone? My son had some issues with his account and it's locked. We sent a form proving our ownership of the account and have not heard anything yet.

  • b00sted90 JFitz (@b00sted90) reported

    @Steam Your capchas are Gar. Bage. 8-10 times now to setup an account for my fiance. Response invalid or it just wipes the check mark with no error. Then locks me out for "automated queries". Good lord.

  • LoboStylez Lobo (@LoboStylez) reported

    @Shadowhaxor @iFixit @Steam I played Doom and Darksiders Genesis so far. The fan still pumps and does what it needs to do, but that whine I also had is gone. Fans look identical, but the newer one from iFixIt does have a higher revision number that fixed the whine problem I assume. Happy with the upgrade!

  • L0rdMagnus L0rd Magnus & Pals (@L0rdMagnus) reported from Groesbeck, Ohio

    Shoutout to @Steam customer service for allowing me to get my @OnDeck when I missed my email. Y’all a real one.
