-
Mike Odyssey (@MikeOdysseyYT) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Anyone having issues, try via the app.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Andy 🇬🇧 (@MileFromTheLane) reportedHey @Steam any chance of talking to someone? Your website is a bit **** when trying to navigate and resolve an issue, so I need a real person.
-
AzureCrux (@AzureCrux) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Payment processors have rate limits, chief. Too many people wanted controllers at once. Every platform exclusive has this problem, it's frustrating as heck.
-
Calculated (@CalculatedNtry) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your ****** launcher that's the problem
-
RomanInDaRain is Writing... 🇲🇽🇬🇾🇵🇷 (@RomanKingKriz) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam At least steam games drops work, yall twitch drops page been broken for 6 months not a single tweak to it.
-
Daniel Troiano (@DJT11490) reportedI just finished Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 on @Steam and no achievements popped. Is this a common/known glitch? @mobgamesstudios #achievement #trophy
-
Snow (@Snowmobile2004) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It’s not broken, you just had to keep clicking. Worked for me on the 10th try. They were basically being ddosed so this is to be expected
-
Jross34 (@Jross34) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck A broken system caused by high demand….
-
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
-
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!
-
venuswa (@vv_venuswa) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam dude, most of the time steam is not the problem but yours.
-
twitch hxhyt (@xhxhyt) reportedLol what ******* gaming service do I need to play the ******* game I have everything @ForzaHorizon @Steam #forza6
-
Thorne (@ThorneAbrams) reported@AntiFurVoreGore @valvesoftware @Steam "Fairness" isn't getting special treatment because you've been a user for a long time. It’s everyone having the same 1-unit limit so the scalpers you’re complaining about can’t drain the stock. You’re asking to be part of the problem.
-
KV12 (@KnightVision12) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck “That’s not demand, that’s a broken purchase system.” ok clanker
-
Colin Archer (@logincrash) reported@itsmeepui @UbisoftSupport @Steam I've looked for a solution to this problem and all I got is a bunch of people saying **** like "Just don't log out." or "Write down your password." Like, *****, the Remember Me tick is there AND IT DOESN'T ******* WORK. It's not on me to fix this. Your launcher ******* SUCKS!
-
ComicalRock (@comicalrock) reported@The_FrostySinZ @UbisoftSupport @Steam As they say, piracy is a service issue, in this new age of lack of real ownership, bad launchers, bad products, DRM ruining performance and etc., it is no wonder piracy is on the rise again. I don't do it myself, but I get it, they need to earn our money and trust again.
-
PaTryk_Gracz0l (@patrykgracz0l) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam funny that isnt a problem with any other non ubisoft game, detele the ******* launcher requriement
-
Megaleg3 🐝 (@Megaleg03) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Would have copped if the checkout didnt crash…
-
Drifter Supremo (@downandoutlaw) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I can’t get through keep saying that there’s an error with my transaction
-
⚡ Luis Montes - @monteslu@fosstodon.org (@monteslu) reported"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." yo, @Steam_Support @Steam Let me get a controller.
-
Nick Lopez (@mortifera142) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Your payment processing is tossing our errors.
-
Frank🇺🇸 (@C50_FC) reported@fr33thytweaks @Steam If the problem is the hardware, a firmware update isn’t gonna change anything lol
-
CaptainSp33dy (@Tristan_fergus) reported@KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam you need to check, before making outrageous comments. the issue in hand is scalpers buying them. So, if users are getting upset mentioning about scalpers, then the "morons" remarks is baseless.
-
bobbynk (@bobbynk69) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Why don't you fix you're **** *** launcher
-
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.
-
Lucoa's Husbano (@Lucoa_Star65) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Here's an easy solution: Delete your ****** DRM Launcher from existence. That will solve the problem.
-
Plundy (@Plundypops) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam get rid of your dogshit third party launcher and denuvo and wouldn't have these problems
