  • t0iletphish t0iletphish (@t0iletphish) reported

    @deathgroundgame @Steam Since Capcom wants to lag on a new Dino Crisis so hard for remakes of already good games, I figured this was a chance to get my fix. Kickstarted and wishlists.

  • Anthony62914233 Pimpachu (@Anthony62914233) reported

    @screenrant Good luck with this. I have submitted 4 requests for a refund. Two from today and get the same automated message from @Steam saying I played over 2 hours. They should issue a statement and a universal refund to those who want it.

  • AmandaM36250264 Amanda Mack (@AmandaM36250264) reported

    @muskins2 @Steam I was recommended to @jetfixcare. He was able to recover my hacked account in less than an hour. He is legit and highly recommended for the service. Go contact him now to get your account back

  • Konyxgaming Konyxgaming (@Konyxgaming) reported

    @Steam Hello Steam, i can't buy any games by Paypal. is that a problem with you, or my PP account ?

  • GBUclan Armor9 (@GBUclan) reported

    @SlippyPerigee @EVGA_JacobF Glad to hear some can play. I have a i7-7700 and a RTC 3080, a very capable machine, and if I get 40fps I am lucky. This is on mostly medium settings as well. I am not the only one that has this issue and @Steam refuses to refund money for an unplayable game.

  • ocsdw112 MyNamelsDavid (@ocsdw112) reported

    @beenu212 @Steam ya its probably an issue with your bank or paypal whichever you used if you have that issue refund the money to your steam account in the future

  • acampos5692 Alberto Campos (@acampos5692) reported

    @Sprockeleet @Steam I played about 5 hrs today, and had 0 issues. I have a radeon rx 6600 xt

  • QuessClyne Quess Clyne (@QuessClyne) reported

    @Steam I'm having an issues where Skyrim Special Edition keeps pausing installation, haven't got this issue with other games just SSE, tried numerous fixes besides reinstalling Steam which I'm not doing

  • AdairWalker29 Adair Walker (@AdairWalker29) reported

    @Steam I bought two identical steam cards as Christmas gifts from Walmart in December. Gave them to one person. One card worked, the other card didn’t. Walmart said it’s not their problem and I should contact you, but I can’t because I don’t have an account.

  • ItzBeeDee ItzBeeDee (@ItzBeeDee) reported

    @TheHal09uy @Steam That's exactly the kind of games I have this issue with. Still have games like Witcher 3 and Doom Eternal completely unplayed, Cyberpunk and Sekiro only played half the game or so, and yet I keep buying more on sale haha

  • Heart_attack32 Heart_attack23 (@Heart_attack32) reported

    @Steam hey steam we got a problem what happened to the your playtime's and recently added in the workshop

  • lexicalunit Amy - Black Lives Matter (@lexicalunit) reported

    @steam why can't I download Inscryption anymore? I purchased it. I played it yesterday. But today when I try to start it, I just get an error saying the executable it missing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried clearing download cache. I tried changing region.

  • TesseractDrag0n Tesseract Dragon (@TesseractDrag0n) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support You HAVE to fix the interface to allow zoom. At this point, I physically cannot see most words to read without being a foot or less from the screen. Do something for your visually impaired users!

  • GabrielJijonT Gabriel Jijón (@GabrielJijonT) reported

    @sjfostersound @Steam I think that is a good game, but it have many graphic issues.

  • YodasRaytracing Yodas Raytraced Retro Studios (@YodasRaytracing) reported

    @Steam Thats mostly because im not Gabe Newell. First world problems. Like Nuclear Triggers.

  • mimikakiaddict Seiso Ears (@mimikakiaddict) reported

    @beenu212 @Steam Hey Suha This sounds like it is your card issued by your bank, or your paypal, whichever you used. Steam issues the refunds right away and it's usually up to whoever is processing your payments to put it back in your account.

  • WalterKarloff Walter (@WalterKarloff) reported

    @beenu212 @Steam This is strange. Refunds happen almost automatically. But i think they only send money back to visa cards. But even if there were a problem with a card, they would just put the money on your steam account. I can only advice you to specifically fill in the ticket on steam support

  • AishaColon14 Aisha Colon (@AishaColon14) reported

    @KalebPatrick_ @Steam Contact @hsbbits for your account I had same issues some weeks ago dm immediately to rectify your account his an expert.

  • MattinMiddletwn Matt in Middletown (@MattinMiddletwn) reported

    @DrizzintahL @Steam Friend of mine way back got hit with the "steam update" deleting their games bug. Got sorted, but the steam update game deletion bug did become an early meme back then. My issue, sometimes Steam won't let you move a game from one drive to another and gives no indication why.

  • Samixoxo444 Samantha Herring (@Samixoxo444) reported

    A pox on you @Steam you have done an update which has messed up my Stardew Valley which won't even launch now. Fix it fix it fix it!!!! Please x

  • ba_da Isabelle Stephen (@ba_da) reported

    @matthew_thomes @Steam Send a message to Service_support01 on Instagram he is legit and honest, he help me fix my account when it was hacked

  • TabaxiHasWares Oli (@TabaxiHasWares) reported

    @Steam can i get some support for refund requests that keep getting denied, my playtime is outside of 2 hours but the issue i have with the game has been unable to be fixed by game support so i have a broken product that i can't fix or return :)

  • mygkoiix MikhailaGrace (@mygkoiix) reported

    @matthew_thomes @Steam Write to #QCURITYTECH on Instagram I had the same issue last week Thursday, But it was resolved immediately after I wrote to him and my funds are being recovered

  • jemimaswitnes Pankcake Shiller (@jemimaswitnes) reported

    @Steam so why am I not able to be refunded for bf2042 when others are? I have 110 minutes on ut all of which were me trying to fix it crashing. Wanna know the kicker? It was so unplayable I haven't touched it since pre release because I bought gold edition. Steam please Help Me!!

  • fiatmustbedead Umpsumpts (@fiatmustbedead) reported

    @Steam you guys need to reevaluate your refunds policy. @EA_DICE @EA sold me a fundamentally broken product. An only online shooter with no Voip ? please explain with clarify how thats a full and complete working project. no scoreboard? no squad man?

  • t0iletphish t0iletphish (@t0iletphish) reported

    @deathgroundgame @Steam Since Capcom wants to lag on a new Dino Crisis so hard for remakes of already good games, I figured this was a chance to get my fix. Kickstarted and wishlisted.

    @Steam I need help with purchasing a gift game to my friends but I have an error says :An unexpected error has occurred. Your purchase has not been completed. today is the third day i keep geting this error. Steam wallet is my payment method.

  • YodasRaytracing Yodas Raytraced Retro Studios (@YodasRaytracing) reported

    @Steam Do this Valve run your Steam Deck with and without the patch on my youtube channel guide in windows, or program a fix in SteamOS. Or you could just not care, thats cool too.
