  • TzTokDad Jay (@TzTokDad) reported

    @yoits_Kiefx @Steam No idea, I downloaded a different game to test and it went though nice and smooth, I’ve seen a few others on steam with this problem!

  • PhantomOverload Ricardo Arano (@PhantomOverload) reported

    @gallatron76 @Steam Alright, if it's like Origin even if the person changes your info they should be able to use your original login info to get your account back. When my Origin got hacked they used my original login info to prove it was my account.

  • BigRTipper The Incredible BurnVictim TrashMan (@BigRTipper) reported

    @Steam your 2 hour gameplay refund policy is a goddamn joke and you don't allow for people to contact chat support to make their case or get answers to questions. It's absolutely abysmal customer service. Will be taking my game purchases elsewhere since you don't care.

  • thiagogroff thiago (@thiagogroff) reported

    @trees97 @Steam Having the same problem here. It's verifiying and when it gets to 4%, it says it's going to take 1 day to finish. WTF is this

  • Adoul945 GodGiven (@Adoul945) reported

    @JBM_89 @ultra_io At least I know after 15+ years, they wont have stupid problem like @Steam

  • George_G_arry George Garry (@George_G_arry) reported

    @LeoReap3r @Steam So sorry you can still get it back . I just got mine back from the hacker not long ago with the assistance of some tech support service on lnstagram. Look them up @ veektechs on their insta page bet the help you out. They are professionals and they are registered.

  • its_Plexsure Plexsure. (@its_Plexsure) reported

    @Steam W. Now fix GTA IV and make it playable

  • Tartarus_King TartarusKing (@Tartarus_King) reported

    @Steam Preloaded, and turned on right away no issues, only thing i notice is no fullscreen option, not a-big deal just wondering if there is a way to go fullscreen instead of borderless

  • aubhik_nath Aubhik Nath (@aubhik_nath) reported

    Hi, so it's been more than a week now since I have been unable to login or reset the password of my Steam account and still no word from Steam. @Steam

  • Triggershot4 Triggershot (@Triggershot4) reported

    @Steam someone hijacked my account i locked it but I don’t know anything else about the guy could we try and fix this fast? I have no idea what I’ll be able to do without everything I have

  • HackyScientress Jenny 🏳️‍⚧️ | @hackyscientress@chaos.social #5369 (@HackyScientress) reported

    Still angry that because @steam's ****** DDoS protection that didn't take into account server errors on their side, caused me to not be able to order a Steam Deck until hours into the pre-sale and hence pushing my delivery slot to Q2 or after.

  • Patches439 Zero439 (@Patches439) reported

    @PlayStationCA Playing the god of war on @Steam and been playing it 7 hours now but suddenly ran into a problem. What does it mean by saying “G.O.W: out of memory”?

  • Obiwanjerrnobi Obiwanjerrnobi (@Obiwanjerrnobi) reported

    @Steam so you are NOT refunding people who bought @Battlefield ? Only 2 hrs of gameplay is allowed? Takes 2 hrs just go get queued and into a decent hack free, glitch free lobby…

  • Filter_of_Chaos Kevin (@Filter_of_Chaos) reported

    @Steam So is GOW bad or is your platform trash? Had to download 3 times and erase entire SDD for game to work. Brand new, under warranty, 6 months no issues SDD, and Steam ***** it in 1 day? How can I sue you for ******* up MY hardware? Eat ****.

  • IKONIK246 IKONIK (@IKONIK246) reported

    @Steam I am having problems with getting my account back. I have not been on playing any game for 3 days and I come back telling me that my email and password has been change. I have sent a request and I put a card in that I used and it still did not work. I’m very upset.

  • ExodiaTheFx1 ExodiaTheFx1 (@ExodiaTheFx1) reported

    @Xbox @XboxSupport yall should follow in @Steam footsteps and give full refunds for Battlefield 2042 haven't touch the game since release date it's so broken

  • Laura_87121 Laura Christopher (@Laura_87121) reported

    @Rhaaps0dy @Steam I’d similar issues at the train station, Tbh is so frustrating when your account gets hack and you can’t access it, but I’m glad I got it recovered back by Hackwizard06 on Instagram, He’s legit and trusted!!..he’s also on WhatsApp +1 (601) 879-4615. You go send him a DM!

    @Steam @Steam My game won't install and continually gets stuck after verifying, all of which is incredibly slow. I preloaded and that seems to have compounded the issues. How do I resolve?

  • TheSh466y Thesh466y (@TheSh466y) reported

    @PlayGodfall Just stay away from @Steam, until you fixes all the issues.

  • yoits_Kiefx Kief {x} (@yoits_Kiefx) reported

    @TzTokDad @Steam sounds like HDD/SDD problems with corruption occuring from bad read/writes?

  • mario_tristao Mário Tristão (@mario_tristao) reported

    @Steam I've problem with the save loop

  • TechnoLay Jason Lay 🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈 (@TechnoLay) reported

    I wonder if @Microsoft will ever work with @Steam to fix their Fable III product that hasn't worked since the microsoft gaming store stopped functioning..

  • Filter_of_Chaos Kevin (@Filter_of_Chaos) reported

    @Steam FIX YOUR ******* PRE LOAD SYSTEM!

  • AeonsAlex Alex (@AeonsAlex) reported

    @TzTokDad @Steam Honestly I've had so many issues with pre-installs that I'd rather just install it normally and wait

  • Dark_0riginal Dark0 (@Dark_0riginal) reported

    @Steam Servers down till when?

  • jmilb10053 Jim (@jmilb10053) reported

    Don't use the USB c to c cable for your @SamsungUS T7 SSD to run @Steam games on @Windows 11. The games will crash. The USB c to USB 3 works.

  • TzTokDad Jay (@TzTokDad) reported

    @tagethemage @Steam Incorrect, steam problem :)

  • FenixRyze Kiba (@FenixRyze) reported

    @Steam Games are dirt cheap on the PS4, why not make it at least $20. You literally get it free sometimes on PS Now also the game ranges from $5-10 on sale. With availability of Video cards this is a crash grab lol. Will def rebuy once it is dirt cheap for PC.

  • tunnel77x tunnel77 (@tunnel77x) reported

    @Slaking__ @claudiu_cobbo @Steam that is very unfortunate but that's how bugs usually go. you fix one thing and something unintentionally happens somewhere else. The good news is that it should be fixed pretty soon lol
