    @Steam I am unable to request a refund at the moment. I get a red error and when I hit try again I get the message error code: -379.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Sucks you were able to let me put in money no problem, but let the scalpers buy everything.

    hombo (@RGB_MIDAS) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Actually the issue usually lies within your launcher and not Steam's. There is absolutely no reason why I need to enter my password every time for *some* games but it works fine for others. There has never been a single day where uPlay/Ubisoft Connect has been good.

    @valvesoftware @Steam To those getting the “transaction” error just keep spamming continue, it take a minute or two but it will go though!

    @HyperLovingBun @valvesoftware @Steam The controller isn't effected by RAM price increases, so that shouldn't be an issue...

  • TehadmireChris
    Chris Thompson (@TehadmireChris) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Tried to buy, checkout was broken, now sold out 😭

    @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.

  • Rusty_PWN

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your game, not their, and it's your launcher causing the problem. Nobody likes you and the reason is this kind of bullshit on top of your dogshit code

  • nomeIlamesfriki
    nomellamesfriki (@nomeIlamesfriki) reported

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam You don't own any game bought digitally in Sony or Steam. You only own the license to play it thrugh Sony/Steam. They can close the service when they want. It is all in the TOS.

  • torelethain
    Torelethain (@torelethain) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Seriously guys, why did you not roll this out like the Deck to prevent scalpers? You already had this problem solved. Big disappointment, guess I'll have to wait now.

  • SigmaTheFox
    Sigma The Fox (@SigmaTheFox) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam clearing steam's download cache does not fix "games not starting" issues at all, ubisoft. it only deletes what is currently being downloaded... Why would a game that relies on your useless launcher not start because of a download happening on steam, when it's ready to play?

  • Snowmobile2004
    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

  • BiohazardHawk
    HellowJack (@BiohazardHawk) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam will it be a revisioned model soon? usually the first batch has some problems

  • delapaz_matt

    @0bscuratea @valvesoftware @Steam Meanwhile ps5 is $60 with stick drift that can happen out of nowhere with no good fix

  • tnafanforever
    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

  • MatthewLauseng

    @AgbaG257 @Steam Thanks, I finally got logged in after issues with my VPN.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Keep getting transaction error when checking out?

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam play the dam game is all it is. Just login and play a game

  • MydiaStardream

    @valvesoftware @Steam Scalpers took all the stock. Please fix.

  • mortifera142
    Nick Lopez (@mortifera142) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Your payment processing is tossing our errors.

  • 97skynet
    97skynet (@97skynet) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Added to cart at launch, but then nothing but error messages until a minute after launch when it showed out of stock. But at least the scalpers were able to get them. They are gong for $300 on eBay. Can’t say I’m surprised, just disappointed.

    Cap'n Slipp (@CapnSlipp) reported

    Dear @Steam, the useful Verification Code From E-mail feature in iOS/iPadOS doesn't work with e-mails from Steam. I believe this is because iOS only looks at the notification, not the whole e-mail. Please move the code further up (text-wise) in your e-mails to fix this. #UXBug

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Steam has the same issue

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Why don't you fix you're **** *** launcher

  • Lucoa_Star65
    Lucoa's Husbano (@Lucoa_Star65) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Here's an easy solution: Delete your ****** DRM Launcher from existence. That will solve the problem.

    @jdezutter @valvesoftware @Steam they seem to still have *memory* issues

  • benKompeter
    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

  • Zamaszysty
    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.

  • tappinfrogo
    frogo // カエル (@tappinfrogo) reported

    @yorksoriginal @Steam Doesn't it fix itself once you close the game?

  • Adammck
    Adam Mckeithan (@Adammck) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Gave up on trying to buy one. Damn store was broken with nothing but errors. Guess I’ll get one in a year or so.
