@Steam “There seems to have been an error initialising or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance” Not like that’s an option since it’ll be sold out

@Cvhs7Brown @Steam I saw this coming so I added 10 dollars to my steam wallet beforehand and it gave me little to no problems except trying to slog through the server crashes to checkout and confirmation

@PotatoVerseVEVO @jackson_txg @Steam valve promise that games within this device will work 100% without problems and that means proton will be upgraded further to match up with the Windows counterparts. So, I hope Valve fulfil its promises.

@rickyberwick @Steam I know its likely no longer a hassle but for people who get these errors, try doing it on the browser version.

@Steam Feels very much like a solution looking for a problem. Nice spec, the usual * at every qualifier no doubt, but sure... nice. But why? It is a beefy switch essentially and that's it by the looks of it.

@Steam #SteamDeck Fix your hot garbage running on an Intel pentium you call "servers" people can't preorder ****.

@JustinRoiland @Steam I had this problem as well, but I added the money to my Steam wallet, and then used it to pay and it went through just fine.

@Daniel15 @SixaxisVidya @Steam Update: Order was jacked up. I cancelled it and immediately got an email from steam more or less saying something went wrong with the order, please re-order. Second time, no problem, confirmation email came through, no errors, no pending.

@Steam Maybe you should go back and fix the orders and queue position of the people who got f'd over by hour long processing payment issues. No reason my order which was placed on 10:01 am should be Q2 2022 when people who ordered ~10:50 am are seeing Q1 timeframes

@Steam I tried get in as soon as they went live, but it took an hour for me and far too many error messages, so now my reservation is for Q2 2022.

@filmbubs @Steam The same happened to me, they charged me but there was an error saying that my purchase was not complete even though I was charged. There was a note saying that it's possible to get charged but the purchase still won't count. Make sure to re-order again.

(@ThatGuyNedd) reported
@Steam I honestly am unsure why people are comparing it to the Switch. This device is ideal for someone unable to get a PC up and running because of part stock issues and wants to play their games they own on steam. However the switch is ideal for multiplayer party games or couch co-op.

@Steam Can someone explain to me why the screen borders need to be so thick? The Switch has the same problem.

(@DJGranblue) reported
@Steam Still having trouble. I cancelled my order (decided to get 256 instead of 64) but it still recognizes I have my 64gb preorder in my Steam library. Please help!

@berkchops @Steam I had to cancel mine. Once I did, I immediately got an "hey we ****** up your order, please purchase again" email, then I was able to reserve no problem the second time through

(@wallmanfx) reported
@rikupone @SurelyBuirley @Steam No, it's not a Windows emulator, but it is a extra translation layer, which is not even up to par with Windows equivalent libraries, resultaten in many issues. The underlaying xorg layer is not great as well. The performance therefor will in most cases always be worse.

(@srv_watch) reported
@Sanikyuu @Steam connect the preorders with the serial a check if the Ip that bought it is connected to the account on the device if not ban the buyer that resold (should solve that issue when you order with your second account cause of steam wallet since both accounts have the same ip)

@Steam curious, with the steam deck? What happens if an analog stick becomes loose or starts having a drift issue. Any way to replace those parts?

(@monster_jky) reported
@oxacillin @Michael_Kan @Steam That happened to me. I got my order in at 1:01 EST, but it was stuck in Pending status. At 2:30, I got an e-mail saying that there was a problem with my order and it had been canceled, but the item was left in my cart. At that point, I was able to order it again (Q2 2022)
