Steam Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mistbased Ikaika (@mistbased) reported

    @Steam Yes Valve did not make the games but they are choosing to sell it. As a consumer if the system meets the recommended specs I should run the games without an issue. At times and especially with newer games it will have glowing reviews for days or weeks until cracks start to show.

  • noodleHCW noodle (@noodleHCW) reported

    @1hhtee @ScumGame @Steam The Devs just released a hotfix, it mentions a possible fix for your issues, maybe try it now?

  • Fr0stmite TheToastGuy (@Fr0stmite) reported

    @Steam Steam, ******* fix the logins. I just spent 25 bucks to buy Super Meat Boy Forever, and I can't even play it beacuse Steam won't let me log in, despite the fact I have a working account. Fix your ******* platform. I know that you're all at home, I get it, it's a weekend. 1/2

  • AmShadey Amy 面白い (@AmShadey) reported

    Stream today was really bad. Ran into a major problem with steam. 147mb update for #DeadbyDaylgiht took over an hour and a half to finish because of the @Steam launcher. I'll add DBD to a day coming up soon. Thank you for your time and patience. Sorry about today.

  • KerbexSenpai KerbexSenpai (@KerbexSenpai) reported

    @OtaaRL @Steam Do they just not have any type of support for this issue?

  • Dr_Cowking Dr Cowking (@Dr_Cowking) reported

    @PhzrBE @Steam @Steam_Support Same, imagine being a multimillion $ company and having no phoneline for support. If I could have all my games not connect to this ****** service I would!

  • spinnpuke Avi S. Spoof (@spinnpuke) reported

    @Steam your customer service is limp and infuriating. I'm so disappointed in the complete lack of help I've received I'm decidedly not giving you or @valvesoftware another dime.

  • 1hhtee Ihh Tee (@1hhtee) reported

    @noodleHCW @ScumGame @Steam It takes a long time to load and does not start on the official and private servers. I deleted the seved folder and the file check did not work. How will solve the problem?

  • PeterMerola Peter Merola (Xbox: CadetClueless) (@PeterMerola) reported

    @primegaming Hey Amazon, can you add Lost Ark to your Prime Gaming service so I can play Lost Ark through Amazon servers instead of @Steam? I do not have a PC and need to stream the game from an @awscloud gaming server.

  • phoenix_eraser Phoenix Eraser (@phoenix_eraser) reported

    @Steam I am trying to register with your website as a new signup and am having a technical issue. No matter what I do, it says I have not completed the captcha required to register a new account. As a consequence I can’t access your normal help system. What do I do?

    @Steam just so other consumers can find all of the issues with a game and report them is an absurd notion 2/2

  • Howelly976 Howelly (@Howelly976) reported

    @Steam My account had connection issues earlier and now everytime I try to login it says "account name or password is incorrect". I've checked to see if my account is still there and it come says its not there.
