-
R Daneel Olivaw (@thelinemain) reported@MCDEEZFN @Half_Life_III @Steam No third-party controller will work on Xbox without a paid license, and even then, it will only work via cable. Xinput is the issue for Windows PCs, but it can be used with an Xinput emulator, just like any other third-party controller such as the DualSense.

Matt Delapaz (@delapaz_matt) reported@0bscuratea @valvesoftware @Steam Meanwhile ps5 is $60 with stick drift that can happen out of nowhere with no good fix
-
GoodStuffPuff (@PowPowPony) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Just make it so your games can be played directly through steam and these problems would cease to exist for people, your launcher IS the problem
-
Torelethain (@torelethain) reported@KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam **** off ****, there is plenty of reason for criticism, scalpers are an issue they had figured out and solve on the Deck launch, this was failed roll out. If it genuinely was sold we would be more understanding and happy for Valve. This was a mistep **** sucking fanboi.
-
Ethan Kirby (@Huckleberry3716) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Good. Hopefully the reservation queue doesn’t crash Steam again tomorrow
-
Drifter Supremo (@downandoutlaw) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I can’t get through keep saying that there’s an error with my transaction
-
Herman G. Krueger (@HermanKrue10077) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Bro, is this a late April fool? You have perhaps one of the shittiest launchers ever made in pc history. Every ******* time I open Uplay I have to resyinc some **** or login again. Just do yourself a favour, close that Cloaca Maxima and bring your games on Steam already.
-
Mikey Fn P (@KingOfFroggs10) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Steam has the same issue
-
Glorious Kev (@GloriousKev) reported@itsunforgiven @valvesoftware @Steam couldn't get one? skill issue
-
Megaleg3 🐝 (@Megaleg03) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Would have copped if the checkout didnt crash…
-
twizz (@Twizz24seven) reported@valvesoftware @Steam fix cs2 u stupid *****
-
Vinnie2004 (@Vinnie20041) reported@Steam Fix steam support Pretty Pretty Please, I need to refund four sims packs.
-
Przemek M. (@Zamaszysty) reported@TeeJayTheory @valvesoftware @Steam I guess it depends on your grip. I don't see any issues with it at all, but I have large hands and have no issues with reaching anything in any controller I've ever used so far. I don't think I'd have issues here either.
-
donna berry (@tnafanforever) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam I guess that's why i choose to play on xbox series x, i set mine as my home xbox and even if there is an internet outage i can still play my games offline
-
LoppyDaCutie (@DaNamesLily) reported@SteamVR @Steam I fully unplugged my pc and still got a error 450
-
Kompeter (@benKompeter) reported@lichqueenie @UbisoftSupport @Steam I tried to play Far Cry 3 but it kept crashing constantly. Ubisoft launcher was the issue and best way to fix it was pirating it because it avoids ubi launcher lol
-
Sydney Louw Butler (@GendoWasRight) reported@TankeryChan @valvesoftware @Steam Just FYI, Amazon pulled out of SA temporarily because of how much theft there was in the postal service. It came back after establishing a private shipping network, and clearly is happy with the risk level because Amazon is building a local warehouse here now.
-
Cosmodiver (@Cosmodiver) reported@CharlieFlufboi @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah, looks like even people trying to buy it on Steam are running into errors and can’t purchase it lol
-
Klassischer Mann (@KlassischeMann) reported@MatthewJPipoly @valvesoftware @Steam It wasn't sold out with that error. The servers were slammed. If you were smart, you would have kept hitting refresh until you got in.
-
Undefeated (@NeedtoKnowBassi) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Bad enough they got issue that they can't fix with the console itself.
-
kayseed (@kayseeed) reported@Feeh_LacerdaS @studiozaum @Steam the specific sentiment was regarding the individuals on the team who were the sole reason the issues came to happen in the first place. don't be obtuse
-
Joenziii ☦︎ (@Joenziii) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Listen I had the same issue but if your gonna complain don’t use ai to ******* do it
-
IoriShakor (aka Jamaal) (@IoriShakor) reported@Snowmobile2004 @Steam @OnDeck I'm glad it worked for you, but it looks like a lot of other people have the same issue and tried more times. The algorithm God blessed you
-
Red Sox Royal Rooter (@RoyalRooterSox) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Unable to buy due to errors for 20+ minutes, then it sold out. Crazy.
-
bobbynk (@bobbynk69) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Why don't you fix you're **** *** launcher
-
Evilyn G Havisham (@EvilynHavisham) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY CONTROLLER TO ARRIVE BROKEN IN THE MAIL!
-
Kyvlash (@Kyvlash) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I’m fine with a reservation system. But this is honestly ridiculous. This is a controller, not a Console. There is no Pandemic. This is normal Supply/Demand. And limiting customers to one reservation is a little silly imo. The demand for the Steam Controller exists, but it’s not going to rival its Console competitors. The outrage is mostly due to the payment system failures rather than people raging out about a non-existent scalper problem.
-
Barry Ticks (@BarryTCks) reported@valvesoftware @Steam just a friendly tip for my favourite company of all time, due to the controller issue recently, limit the steam frame and machine 1 per household, and a similar process to the new controller protocol you just announced. To stop trolls. So we don’t miss out.
-
The Goat (@_the__Goat_) reported@benheck @Steam You're not wrong. Yes, I'm fully aware of why Linux hasn't taken over. A major "problem" is bombarding potential users with too many choices (distro, partition scheme, filesystem, etc., etc., etc.) before they even get a login prompt.
-
Vigilant loves you (@BrutusBruteCSGO) reported@valvesoftware @steam @CounterStrike please fix
