Steam Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Avalice Productions (@DaveTheRetroGuy) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This wouldn't be a problem if your launcher actually worked 🙄
-
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 :)
-
Spacefish (@Spacefish) reported@valvesoftware @Steam "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." :(
-
яυѕтуρωη (@Rusty_PWN) reported@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
-
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.
-
Operator01 (@SamuelvandBerg) reported@VHSDVDBLURAY4K @Steam Anti-piracy is all about maximizing profits.. rather than fighting piracy.. Forcing 70$ games in your face that need patches from day 0.. to fix the game..
-
venuswa (@vv_venuswa) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam dude, most of the time steam is not the problem but yours.
-
Colton Pospichal (@PospichalColton) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Fix your storefront so people can actually make transactions or stock enough so people can purchase them.
-
justinseans (@justinseans) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck "That’s not demand, that’s a broken purchase system." Shut up Grok
-
Julianthethief (@RedeYesHood) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam @UbisoftSupport the source of the problem is ur own goddamn launcher and not steam so don't spread misinformation .
-
Hellothere (@Injuryyuy) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Yeah I'm not happy with Valve right now. I was there right on time. Every time I tried to push payment through the page gave a weird error. Next thing you know I check and it's sold out. They need to figure some sort of system out to fight off the bots to make it more fair.

ꞡɍ੩ɏཏħⱥđθⱳ (@gr3yb1rd) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam just don't buy Ubislop games and the problem is solved
-
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
-
Adam Orand (@King_INF3RN0) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Only took 50 minutes of spamming the continue button. Maybe some launch-day payment processing server allocation? Monday at noon pacific is a low time for gaming, might as well, right? Gonna need to fix this for the Machine and Frame...
-
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.
-
Sydney Louw Butler (@GendoWasRight) reported@TankeryChan @valvesoftware @Steam Just FYI, Amazon pulled out of SA temporarily because of how much theft there was in the postal service. It came back after establishing a private shipping network, and clearly is happy with the risk level because Amazon is building a local warehouse here now.
-
135.x (@135dotx) reported@Pirat_Nation Don't care. Microslop had years➕ to fix @Windows & are only doing it now bc losing ppl to Linux & @Steam. These companies will never learn – I hope gamers finally do. Money is voting power & I haven't spent any since "Xbox One (won)".
-
Yorks (@yorksoriginal) reported@SleepingFumo @Steam Glad someone understands the pain. It's gotten way worse lately too; always had issues but would maybe get 2x the actual playtime logged, annoying, but not the end of the world, but now I'm two hours into Higurashi and somehow already have over 200 hours logged!!!
-
Jeremy Wood (@excitedpixels) reported@Steam @Steam_Support do you have a random shipment generator for orders as it seems you are shipping the steam controllers randomly. I ordered at 57 just before, and my wife's at 18 past because you were broken for her. It's Def not in any kind of order which seems unfair. :(
-
DEVIOUS///DEVO (@FancyMeatCPU) reported@SubmarineTower @Steam I got the same error too.
-
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.
-
William (@WilliamTimeMage) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Just bought mine had no issues. Im in australia if that makes a difference.
-
KV12 (@KnightVision12) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck “That’s not demand, that’s a broken purchase system.” ok clanker
-
Red (@redre1ated) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Many will have you believe this was a sort of bug, glitch, accident...I think ive read all sorts of damage control nonsense in the last 36hrs. Sony consoles had DRM. And the only reason WHY they didn't use it fully was due to the backlash of the 2013 Xbox One E3 conference.
