virhillyo (@virhillyo) reported@Steam @Steam_Support @OnDeck hey valve, I was wondering if someone can help me with an issue I have with my Steam Deck? My deck won’t go into sleep mode if I press the power button and I have to do it through the steam button which is a bit tedious. Would appreciate any help :)
-
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.
-
0G_M3T47R0N (@Met47ron) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I was met with that error and just spam clicked the link until I got a different page to finally populate!
-
Ignyte (@DJignyte) reported@Steam @discord @Windows The CLOSEST thing I got to it working the way I want, is by launching steam or discord via powershell. Which half works (does for Discord). But I launch steam by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Friends' so the friends list appears. Which the powershell thing doesnt fix.
-
Figgle **** (@FiggleJizz) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Steam isn't the problem lmao.
-
Avalice Productions (@DaveTheRetroGuy) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This wouldn't be a problem if your launcher actually worked 🙄
-
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
-
TheVark (@isthatvark) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Had this issue as well, truly unfortunate they didn't let cart holders hold onto their spot. This error eventually went away after 30-40 mins, and just got a sold out notification at check out. truly cooked.
-
Warrior_Nation (@BWarrior76) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam This thing is blown way out of proportion. I do not see a problem with it, nor a reason for it. No internet for 30 days, your game is disabled until you re-connect? Ok lol
-
Mikey Fn P (@KingOfFroggs10) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Steam has the same issue
-
Dragon 369 (@Nuqle0us) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Fix Your Anticheat on cs2 every game is 1 or 3 cheaters AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
-
Michael (@MikeTriceratops) reported@HyperLovingBun @valvesoftware @Steam The controller isn't effected by RAM price increases, so that shouldn't be an issue...
-
Fredinator (@Fredinator85) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This is bullshit and you know it. It is your broken launcher failing. Get rid of uplay. Nobody uses it anyway unless they are forced to
-
iaya (@IayaXcxcx0) reported@valvesoftware @Steam When will it be back in stock I tried like 20 times to purchase it and I kept getting an error. 😭
-
Glorious Kev (@GloriousKev) reported@itsunforgiven @valvesoftware @Steam couldn't get one? skill issue
-
ViDEOGOMEZ (@videogomez) reported@Null1130250 @valvesoftware @Steam They've had YEARS to fix their international supply problems, I had to buy my Steam Deck from a third party just because I live a few kilometers below Texas.
-
Bigdaddywoodlin (@NotWoodlin94) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Hahahaha wtf are you on about, it doesn’t effect anyone. If you don’t have internet for 30 days that’s your issue not there’s hahaha
-
Powercheif (@Powercheif) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I was able to get through the error message and purchase it.
-
PatriotCentral (@patriot_central) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It is server overload, dummy. Nothing was broken. You are just retarded.
-
Vinnie2004 (@Vinnie20041) reported@Steam Fix steam support Pretty Pretty Please, I need to refund four sims packs.
-
CelticTiger (@IRISHANARCHY199) reported@KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam I think the main reason for the frustration is the storefront collapsing under the pressure within the first second of the item going up for purchase. I wouldn’t have gotten one myself if I hadn’t brute-forced the continue button on the purchase screen that kept giving errors.
-
Julianthethief (@RedeYesHood) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam @UbisoftSupport the source of the problem is ur own goddamn launcher and not steam so don't spread misinformation .
-
james (@radojames99) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Sucks you were able to let me put in money no problem, but let the scalpers buy everything.
-
cofffin (@HWMreb) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Fine for me. User error.
-
Ethan Kirby (@Huckleberry3716) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Good. Hopefully the reservation queue doesn’t crash Steam again tomorrow
-
スペンサー (@Augm3nt3_1) reported@valvesoftware @Steam To those getting the “transaction” error just keep spamming continue, it take a minute or two but it will go though!
-
Generational Gamer (@gengamer110) reportedI've been playing Remember Me on @Steam and my PC is more capable of playing the game. In fact, it exceeds the specs for modern games, yet it struggles to play #rememberme. The #SteamDeck on the other hand has no issue whatsoever. Weird!
-
Camarada Pedreiro de Software ☭ 🇧🇷🌻 (@javadadepressao) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Brazilian players want to buy Valve hardware officially, at a fair price, with proper support. We are not asking for magic. Just a legitimate way to buy the product without gambling with bureaucracy and warranty issues.
-
Plundy (@Plundypops) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam get rid of your dogshit third party launcher and denuvo and wouldn't have these problems
-
ScareCrow (@Scare_29_Crow) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam It was mis-reported. Everyone gets a 30 day offline license, which converts to a permanent license after you login on the 15th day or later after purchase. All is good.
