  • UncleSam_1776 Samuel Wilson (@UncleSam_1776) reported

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

  • potatosordfight Will Stonehouse 🌐 (@potatosordfight) reported

    @notch @Steam No problem. There are still some issues I find in digital logic sim, but it's a fun little program. I do find it limiting. A 16 bit ALU was too big to use. I'll look into this game though, it looks like it might solve some of my issues in DLS.

  • 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

  • Kiwourr Kiwi lvs Cometxio (@Kiwourr) reported

    @notch @Steam Idk why but that seems like an NFT's game I have problems with the NFT's

  • tlark8 tlark (@tlark8) reported

    @gentlemanviking @Steam All my VR-head friends tell me the Index is one of the top headsets. The MMO comparison is a valid one. MMOs have solved avatar creation problems over a decade ago, along with virtual real estate & the metaverse is failing at reinventing it, is what the article is saying.

  • TRiG80 EvilInYourCloset (@TRiG80) reported

    @monsterprom @Steam Hey guys, do you have a support account I can message about a version mismatch issue between the Steam and GOG Version of MonsterProm?

  • All3y_Catz Alley Catz Bowling (@All3y_Catz) reported

    Due to @Steamworks @Steam we are working with them to be able to release our latest update but due to system errors we are unable to release the update please bear with us and we will give a update when this has been sorted and update has been released

  • pumkinplays pumkin plays (@pumkinplays) reported

    @Steam Error message trying to check out with "PayPal" or "My PayPal Account". And cuz I tried too many times, now I'm timed out. What's up?

  • kevinthepengui5 kevinthepenguin (@kevinthepengui5) reported

    @ELDENRING won’t respond, @Steam won’t respond and @BandaiNamcoUS won’t respond to my customer service ticket. Real sick of not being able to to play this game no matter how hard I try.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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

  • emmadonna18 emmadonna (@emmadonna18) reported

    @DanielBenner1 @Steam I got similar issues and support service did nothing about it, so I contacted ( cyber_restore12 ) on Instagram he successfully recovered and fixed my account in 30 minutes.I recommend you give him a try

  • Idostuf22336516 I do stuff (@Idostuf22336516) reported

    @humble @Steam Please Devs fix the freezing glitch on Xbox it happens once a clone is made or when you beat chapter 2 I have tried everything even Uninstalling and I want to finish the story so please fix this

  • prolly2jolly Yurinscure (@prolly2jolly) reported

    @Steam is it possible to use 2 steam accounts on same OS . I just restarted the system and after i launched steam , it logged into one account while one window popped up for a login. I logged in and now 2 steam accounts are running simultaneously

  • notch Notch (@notch) reported

    @potatosordfight @Steam It has a few issues though, ranging from a baffling selection of wire colors through to random crashes. Still, I got 100 hours in it, and it gets almost too frequent updates.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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"

  • 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 🎮!

  • ScunnyProtogen Scunny the Protogen (@ScunnyProtogen) reported

    2Fort is impossible to play @valvesoftware @Steam because of these sniper and crash bots. Please sort it out!

  • 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.

  • THUGNASTY_05 Mafffew ♠️ (@THUGNASTY_05) reported

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • kevinthepengui5 kevinthepenguin (@kevinthepengui5) reported

    @Steam I’m coming up on 2 hours of playtime in @ELDENRING without ever getting to the title screen. This is all from just trying to get the game to not crash on launch. If it’s not patched will I still be eligible for a refund?

  • 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
