Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JohnMuellerTMG Johnathan (@JohnMuellerTMG) reported

    @EA @Steam ( 1/2 ) Well it stops games from starting / running offline as it requires you to login to your EA account on their servers, it also makes it trickier to launch on a Steam Deck. For the first time I decided to ask for a refund on a Steam game. . .

  • HiltonsLeighton Leighton Hilton (@HiltonsLeighton) reported

    Can’t access my @Steam account and the recovery process won’t work due to the verification emails not sending. No live chat service or anything to help with it either. I can’t provide proof of ownership because they still want email verification which again, won’t send. Any help?

  • rf3333lix Rob Feeley (@rf3333lix) reported

    @Steam i've lost access to my steam guard device, and Steam isn't allowing me to recover to a new device. I get a message that there was an error during recovery, and it looks like even devices that were already signed in are now inoperable. What is happening?

  • szotsakos Akos ☀️ (@szotsakos) reported

  • DavrimTV Davrim (@DavrimTV) reported

    Pretty crappy service from @Steam I bought Halo Infinite for $60 1 week ago. It is now on sale for 50% off. My refund is denied because I played more than 2 hours. That is really really bad policy / service. I don’t want a full refund just the difference from your price change

  • hawkinson88 Hawkinson (@hawkinson88) reported

    @TishToshTesh @Steam Steam can't have actual support. They are work on projects as they want, no one wants to be customer service
