  • IJordanFTWI Jordan (@IJordanFTWI) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support thanks for not allowing a refund on a broken *** game that I tried to fix for hours while you and the developers wouldn’t do anything for me, automatic response emails are dog *** and don’t let you have a conversation about what’s going on and why 🖕🏼

  • AndreaDProjects Andrea Demetrio (@AndreaDProjects) reported

    @nunoelectric @Steam I did it a couple hours ago, after I got confirmation that this is a worldwide issue

  • Ash_isashes Ash 🥱 (@Ash_isashes) reported

  • okgti Baron (@okgti) reported

    @Steam My edit profile button is not working. Is there an issue?

  • Codes_Comics Cody (@Codes_Comics) reported

    @Steam Its a shame its not working with steam deck, woudlve been a instant buy for me

  • Codes_Comics Cody (@Codes_Comics) reported

    @farcyd3 @Steam Perhaps thats why people were having issues, using the default thread usage rather than going into the bios to make sure the deck is using all possible memory for the game

  • westbrawn yahaya benard (@westbrawn) reported

    @r_A460N @HIPOLITOGABRIEL @Steam i really fed up when i had similar issues, support system did not even consider my complains i wrote them so many time but no response. i was recommended to #daccktech on instagram he got mine perfectly fixed fast with everything safe

  • GazociaG RoMaN S (@GazociaG) reported

    @AndreaDProjects @Steam Just had a look via the desktop app and web browser [sorry - wasn't able to earlier, was away for a few days] - the DLC section clearly states '11'. Seems the Tales from the Epilogue MIA issue is mobile app exclusive.

  • DirtyBilgeRat 🏴‍☠️Unicorn Herpes 🏴‍☠️ Kono Dio da! (@DirtyBilgeRat) reported

    @Steam Your refund policy sucks. Now I'm left with a broken game that won't even boot up properly because it didn't break until after the 4 hour mark. So thanks for nothing I guess.

  • T_Sunrider Sunrider (@T_Sunrider) reported

    @oldntek @Steam @deadspace No, I'm still having problems with it on PC. I updated the GPU and chipset drivers, the BIOS as well. I even lowered the graphics settings to medium and it still crashes for me.

    @Steam Trying to launch Fallout 76 on my PC after the new updates and keep getting the "access denied" error message. WTF? Been playing 76 for a few years.

  • GerbilViolated ViolatedGerbil (@GerbilViolated) reported

    @Steam I haven't played it on steam to answer the reviews on crashing there, big on Uplay it doesn't crash. The game itself is not bad. Its great for a playthough. Endgame is lacking, but its fun. Its no Division 1 though.
