    @Steam HOW TO SOLVE THE RECAPTCHA PROBLEM?

  • wugeball Jack Melillo (@wugeball) reported

    @Steam why doesn’t the menu for creating an account work properly? We’ve tried verifying that we’re human 26 times (I repeat: 26 times) and there’s a problem with captcha, even as it verifies that we’re not robots. What is going on?!?!?!?!?!?

  • TimTamWolf Timbrewolf (@TimTamWolf) reported

    Forgot my password and made too many login attempts to @Steam days ago, getting locked out. I'm still locked out today. Even with the correct password. I try to go to support to ask for help but I need to login. Which it wont let me because too many attempts. Brilliant.

  • WhiteTigerBM ~~WT (@WhiteTigerBM) reported

    So it seems all these FFXIV launcher issues are only happening to those of us who were forced to do the Steam account integration. @FF_XIV_EN @Steam Please fix this issue asap.

  • SuBOURBONtales SuBOURBON Tales (@SuBOURBONtales) reported

    @bryanboling @Steam Steam is probably the most popular and legitimate gaming purchase platform. I’d be willing to bet the problem is more related to macs not being designed for gaming (even though it says you meet specs).

  • TeamMysticMA Team Mystic MA (@TeamMysticMA) reported

    @CampfireJax21 @Steam I suggest you reach out to @Martin_Sol_tech on twitter for recovery of any issue on your account, hacked, banned or any issue ✅

  • BipolarVix MamaVix ♀️ #DaysAreNumbered (@BipolarVix) reported

    @Splitgate is being reinstalled because of this server error on @Steam none of the @Reddit posts to fix this error have worked. Sad there isn't a way to find server status for the game.

  • seeja555 سبحان الله (@seeja555) reported

    @CampfireJax21 @Steam Contact @kawasandistro now to fix your account immediately

  • Evansjnr17 Evans Jnr 🎮 (@Evansjnr17) reported

    @SMPL64 @Steam I suggest you go check out #tech.hackpro on instagram he’s in the place to get this done, I had similar issues with my account when I tried laying complain to the support team they didn’t reply or give me feedback not until a friend here got me recommended to #tech.hackpro,

  • HlYl5m 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡 (@HlYl5m) reported

    @RageUseAimbot @Steam Just came across your tweet. I suggest you an alternative. It must be frustrating missing a lot of memories because you got hacked unknowingly. I had the same problem but my account was retrieved by ```gilestoolx``` on IG and my database was intact too. Thought this would help

  • Richard42731979 Sargenbob (@Richard42731979) reported

    @Steam after playing tf2 my screen is still stuck in its pixelated format even after restarting, what can I do to fix the problem?

  • msammar882 Nilufer Denizer (@msammar882) reported

    @TimTamWolf @Steam Sometime I wonder what is the use of support system when they don’t give validated solutions to problem on their network. After no response from the team for 4 months I was referred to @zems_ins and they immediately help me restore order to my account

  • Kheryn_ Kheryn (@Kheryn_) reported

    @Steam Is there any way to message support directly, my problem isn't in any of the FAQs

  • monteiro_nerd Júlio Monteiro - Nerd Pai (@monteiro_nerd) reported

    Anyway, all my history with @Bungie was useless for almost 5 years without any problem, using Destiny as part of the daily routine, now I'm bullied in the @Steam comments because I have a 37-day ban from Destiny (only ban on my entire gaming life).

  • OrphicNinja OrphicNinja (@OrphicNinja) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support My steam account has been hacked and I cannot submit a ticket through the support site as it errors when I try to reset my password or email and I can't login. I can prove ownership and have screenshots of how the hack/scam happened. What can i do?

  • mrravagen MrRavagen (@mrravagen) reported

    @Steam Funny. Even if I wanted this game, I can't buy it. PayPal & Visa methods are broken and dont work when I try to buy 1 game for a friend.

  • CelticUchuu Craig M. (@CelticUchuu) reported

    @quill18 @Salvaged_MadCat I think that has more to do with the game engine the devs went with. I've had several games that require 1-3GB downloads even for small patches. MSFS certainly has massive downloads. Would prefer them on @Steam servers so I don't have to login to the game to update.

  • iFicS SciFi (@iFicS) reported

    I have had more issues logging into #FFXIV since SE & Valve forced @Steam the integration, with no way to opt out, than I ever had when I was launching it directly.

  • moonsara418 mohamedali (@moonsara418) reported

    @TimTamWolf @Steam Good thing I didn’t wait for the customer support as they were unresponsive for my account to be fixed, I was referred to @zems_ins by a friend and they were able to resolve the problem.

  • pinkeslime pinke slime (1/100 centipede legs) (@pinkeslime) reported

    why do i have a $32 charge from @Steam for cult of the lamb if there's an issue with my purchase & i can't download it off my account and play :(

  • harmfuleffect Ray Capetillo #StandWithUkraine (@harmfuleffect) reported

    @b_rad3005 @Steam Had a similar issue. I have multiple steam libraries and one of them got uninstalled. Went to libraries, re-added it, and games came back as installed.
