    Hey @EA @EAHelp I literally refunded my Steam purchase to throw wait of support behind you guys and am instantly regretting it. Can't play until off work, but if you don't resolve BF6 launch issue by 5:30PM EST, you best believe I am taking my money back to the GOAT @Steam

    Hey @EA @EAHelp I literally refunded my Steam purchase to throw weight of support behind you guys and am instantly regretting it. Can't play until off work, but if you don't resolve BF6 launch issue by 5:30PM EST, you best believe I am taking my money back to the GOAT @Steam

    @CasualGamer96 @Steam @RockstarGames Pre load. Problem solved

  • spaindc Nicholas Franklin (@spaindc) reported

    @Steam tried to play #battlefield2042 and gives me an error saying I should connect with my EA account... never had this problem before and apparently I´m not alone... please resolve issue asap

  • Thesheep44 🍁 🐑 The Sheep 🐑 🍁 (@Thesheep44) reported

    @Steam @CounterStrike Fix your system! I was trading, agreed on a deal, but when I confirmed the trade in-game, I got banned instantly, with a message about someone trying to access my Steam account. It ruined my Sunday! Help!

  • i_am_de_lion Lion El'Jonson🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@i_am_de_lion) reported

    So I have run out of attempts to get my steam account back AND I can only have one ticket open at a time, even though I received an email saying that my issue has been fixed… @Steam

  • AceofHearts0103 Ronny Ace (@AceofHearts0103) reported

    @Steam every time @valvesoftware gives an update for @CounterStrike the game ******* breaks. After he last update the game won’t work. It will simply crash at the start screen. Wow. Why don’t u guys stop updating the game at all???!!!

  • Mike_2471 Mike (@Mike_2471) reported

    @BattlefieldComm On steam btw . Played about 10 hours to get this error . Uninstalling now and gona reinstall if it still does not work @Steam I want a refund as this game does not work

  • MsRobotoFL Feisty Renegade 🗣🙀🙏⚓ (@MsRobotoFL) reported

    @BattlefieldComm This is why nobody trusts @EA. This stuff should have been fixed prior to release. You should offer rebates to all the players who have been waiting since 11am EST to play the game, but can't because of YOUR errors. If you bought this game on @Steam you have played without interruptions. Mostly.

  • arnvidhr ˙⅁ sɐpʎʌɹ∀ 🇱🇹🤝🇺🇦 (@arnvidhr) reported

    @liuzeng73913736 @Steam Simply Steam is overloaded or bombed with hackers attacks, eg. DDoSing... So let's say game doesn't start which I try to run as it trying to use Steam auth, where it failing. Restarting of Steam take ages... After what again the same issues.

  • robqmyers Rob Myers Jr. (@robqmyers) reported

  • AJDraws AJ Draws (@AJDraws) reported

    @AftermathZGame Weird how @Steam has issues with this. Meanwhile they have games like Come Home on the store that has far more inappropriate material on the steam page, which is also false advertising at that is a straight up porn game. Gonna run along the beach censoring folks in swimwear now?

  • aydenjcasey Ayden (@aydenjcasey) reported

    hey @Steam fix your ******* servers this is ridiculous I just wanna play battlefield

  • 4_AlexB Alex👨‍💻 (@4_AlexB) reported

    @Vaeroth @Battlefield @Steam I had the same issue, I was able to fix it with this, If you have the nvidia app open it, go to graphics and look for battlefield 6, click on it and go to global settings and on the driver settings click on the restore option. And then restart steam and try launching it again.

    @Awk20000 This is not going to look good for @discord given the data breach also @Steam now the ddos attack. These media apps need to get their privacy and security services backed.

  • YefuneKenizi Yefune Kenizi (@YefuneKenizi) reported

    @ASmoothrod @Steam Sorry to hear that AirConda was having those issues. Just glad I'm using the @RockstarGames launcher for GTA and RDR and not Steam. Everything I launched via Steam, such as OBS, Rockstar Games Launcher, etc. gave a "Cloud error" of some sort, warning that save files weren't accessible. Good thing nothing I was running depended upon Steam's Cloud.

  • level94836 level. (@level94836) reported

    my curator is offline for now. @Steam has server issues that they refuse to fix for long time curators who run into this issue. It's been a great run, everyone.

  • ReneCpt Rick 🐭 (@ReneCpt) reported

    @Steam @Steam EA app developers could use the assistance of your steam app developer right now for a second. @EA can't seem to fix their own app on Battlefield 6 launch day and they could use all the help from someone who IS able to make a functioning launcher. Thx in advance! /s

  • zCrxticxl 🐒🐒🐒🐒 (@zCrxticxl) reported

    @Vaeroth @Battlefield @Steam yes pls tell me when u can find a fix

  • WizardChristoph Wizard_Christopher_Robin (@WizardChristoph) reported

    .@valvesoftware @Steam @CounterStrike haven't played cs in a month. Play 1 game and get a 14 day cool down. Didn't even use my mic. Fix your ******* report system. Ever since I got banned for trying to kick cheaters I get consistent 14 day bans

  • SToPCrYiNg1996 RuffDay1993 (@SToPCrYiNg1996) reported

    Hey @Battlefield @EA_DICE how is a game that is released giving errors in @Steam saying game is not released?

    "It feels like this game is constantly deteriorating day by day. The issue with cheaters remains unresolved, and the matchmaking system continues to make increasingly questionable decisions. I'm genuinely becoming very frustrated with it. @Steam @CounterStrike #Counterstrike2

  • warmachine15188 Chris (@warmachine15188) reported

    @Steam I got a steam deck for father's day. Problem is every game i want to play is incompatable with the steam deck. Why sell a handheld that is capable of playing less than 50% of your catalog? I want to play once human, and ghost recon but they are incompatable. Fix it.

  • FardaFlawzz2024 __Farda Flawzz (@FardaFlawzz2024) reported

    @Steam i have bought ea sports fc26 ultimate edition for my pc and its not working!!!!! Either sort out my game or run back my money

  • _dolphinityy_ itzDolphinityy (@_dolphinityy_) reported

    Has anyone had issues, with A: you loading in a match when it's 90% done or B: you can't load in a match at all?? I bought BF6 on steam and this is my issue. #battlefield6 @Steam @Battlefield

  • ninjerky Ninjerky (@ninjerky) reported

    @monsterhunter @steam had a sync error issue and lost 100 hours of progression and ALL the stuff I acquired during those 100 hours especially the Akuma skin. Sad part is it shows I have 200 + hours on my steam page and in game save shows 100 completely bummed about this.
