  • Riftisback Rift (@Riftisback) reported

    @Steam I can no longer access the steam servers. I once again ask you to fix your servers 😎

  • Fuitad Pierre-Luc Brunet (@Fuitad) reported

    @Steam I'm trying to create an account for my 13 years old daughter but everytime, we get "Your response to the CAPTCHA appears to be invalid. Please re-verify that you're not a robot below.". We tried on 5-6 different devices, over wifi-cell-office. Always same error. Help?

  • romobtw Romo (@romobtw) reported

    @NirvanianDaze2 @Steam It basically eats up FPS terribly in some cases is what I've heard. Personally I've played a lot of games with Denuvo and never had any problems so it might really depend on hardware too.

  • shabssh shabssh (@shabssh) reported

    @Steam Server is down, solve the problem need to play MW2.

  • Slayereon Nathalie Lyra, BA in Psychology (@Slayereon) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam Steam support absolutely will change your Steam login account name if you contact them and explain that you are trans and the name makes you uncomfortable in light of that. They did this for me when I contacted them... 1/2

  • SilverfoxWeezy SilverfoxWeezy (@SilverfoxWeezy) reported

    @ATVIAssist um, server status shows up but my team just got TRAVIS-RILEA error code? Maybe @Steam ? Someone? Anyone comment on this? 🙏

  • HeyItsJye Jye (@HeyItsJye) reported

  • XNetwork100 XNetwork100 (@XNetwork100) reported

    @Steam fix your servers. getting tired of being disconnected all the time and unable to play online games with my friends as a cause.

  • PKblaze_Twitch PKblaze (@PKblaze_Twitch) reported

    @NirvanianDaze2 @Steam Can't play offline, resource intensive, only hurts customers (Not pirates) It shits the bed if you change hardware. If Denuvo dies 🤞 so do the games that use it. There's also some security issues as it accesses your data and could be a weakpoint when it comes to security.

  • PuNiSHeR315 Robert Martinez (@PuNiSHeR315) reported

    @valvesoftware @OnDeck @Steam You guys have to try and fix when you take multiple consecutive screenshots and they capture "screenshot taken" at the bottom. Is there an option to turn that off that I'm missing?

  • InstantKarma_1 ❄️ (@InstantKarma_1) reported

    @Steam So I've already gotten into contact with some of EA's staff to help me out, and they said there's no issues as to why my Steam account won't link with my EA account. I'd like to know why, cos all I've wanted to do is play Need For Speed Heat and Unbound, but can't do so

  • LuisRX382 LuisRX (@LuisRX382) reported

    @MrWarNoob @TheArchitectJV @Steam I never watched Edgerunners. But I did go back and play it around that time. The launch sucked. Well known. They fixed many of the issues. And I thoroughly enjoyed it after returning. It could be better though.

  • gooby_games gooby2048🏳🇨🇺🇵🇷 (@gooby_games) reported

    @Steam I completed the entire companions guild quest in skyrim while my computer was offline, and now I can't get the achievement for it without replaying the while thing. How do I fix this :(

  • jgredh 𝕵𝖆𝖘𝖒𝖎𝖓𝖊⚡ (@jgredh) reported

    @PlayStation Your anti-consumer policy is pretty much for kid fanboys. You still haven't been able to bring PS5 titles to Playstation plus cloud gaming, considering the cost of the service quite pitiful for decades-old titles. Selling old titles on @Steam for full price years after release.

  • sikseptik Sikseptik (@sikseptik) reported

    @omega_yenur @Steam Yep..Steam Captch broken. Cannot create and account.

  • throwaw82492195 chocswirl (@throwaw82492195) reported

    @SteamStatus @Steam They need to fix this so I can get back to rebuilding the UCA and seeing other player's structures

  • eyesimplycannot Anna Disek (@eyesimplycannot) reported

    @Steam Keep getting error message for past 2 days about the recaptcha you have absolutely no other ways of contacting for support that do not involve this.

  • AndrejShchur SHCHUR (@AndrejShchur) reported

    I can tell you very quickly why @EA and its games are a real dump. I had some money left over in @Steam, so I decided to buy #StarWarsJediFallenOrder on sale. All was fine, but when I ran into the error "You don't have access blah blah blah"
