    @Steam wow, I just installed 33gb out of 112 for #RedDeadRedemption2 and since my PC blue screened, I HAVE TO RESTART THE ENTIRE ******* THING need to fix this ****, so annoying, it was already supposed to take till 3 a.m to finish, now I'm ******, thanks #Steam #bug

  • darren_fm 𝕯𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖊𝖓 (@darren_fm) reported

    I think @Steam reviews should have embedded PC specs from the reviewer. Then we could see that the game wasn't actually poorly optimized, but maybe that Slayer69's Nvidia R300 could be the issue. #EldenRing

  • vanfanel340 marcos dopazo (@vanfanel340) reported

    @BabylonsFall_EN @PlayStation @Steam Wait a minute, the game doesn't even have texts in Spanish?!? only English, German and French… but what serious problem does Square have with localizations? Well goodbye Babylons, I don't buy games or localized

  • theguruofvoodoo retrocoregaming (@theguruofvoodoo) reported

    And I'm kinda glad that @steam and @GabeNewell1962 have finally pushed the problem of GNU/Linux and the lack of proper support into the light for developers to see and maybe become ashamed of ignoring. #WeWantLinuxSupport @Nexon_America... we shouldn't have to beg like this.

  • JakeSkoch skoch (@JakeSkoch) reported

    @Steam fix your ******* cloud saves I lost 8 hours of Elden ring process and there is literally no way to recover it

  • RaeTheVirgo Raven🏳️‍🌈 (@RaeTheVirgo) reported

    @Steam For some reason, ever since I updated Power wash simulator I cannot open the game. I keep getting an error

  • Colt17752 Colt (@Colt17752) reported

    @Steam FSX Steam edition keeps crashing without any apparent cause. I've verified file integrity, reinstalled, etc. The issue hasn't stopped. Any ideas?

  • Stepmomwhatyd Stepmomwyd (@Stepmomwhatyd) reported

    I don't know if it's an @ELDENRING problem, or a @Steam problem, but many players have been losing their saved progress thru the steam sync issue when loading the game (myself being one and losing about 20 hours of progress). Many players are mentioning they will not return.

  • Aim15472043 Aimツ (@Aim15472043) reported

    @Steam im trying to buy elden ring and it is not working please contact me back i need to play this game.

  • TRiG80 EvilInYourCloset (@TRiG80) reported

    @monsterprom @Steam Hey guys, do you have a support account I can message about a version mismatch issue between the Steam and GOG Version of MonsterProm?

  • antibiaka Серж Шевченко (@antibiaka) reported

    @Steam ru continue to play games and closing eyes on what happens. Disconnect ru from servers , they should woke up! 🇺🇦

  • potatosordfight Will Stonehouse 🌐 (@potatosordfight) reported

    @notch @Steam No problem. There are still some issues I find in digital logic sim, but it's a fun little program. I do find it limiting. A 16 bit ALU was too big to use. I'll look into this game though, it looks like it might solve some of my issues in DLS.

  • mmmbizNFT MMMNFT (@mmmbizNFT) reported

    @BeeperShimi @discord @Steam Your customer service is hideous and I’m losing money bc I can’t connect to Discord. I have 4 open tickets and zero help

  • AirtheNeko Catboi Air / Neko Kitty Boi (@AirtheNeko) reported

    Hey @Steam you know that funny alphanumeric sequence you record on every crash report that gets sent to you? Log it onto the account and stop asking for 2FA on every login. Mac address doesn't change, computer is trusted, but for some reason been asked 4 times today for 2FA.

  • adradiologia adrian espinal (@adradiologia) reported

    @Steam I cant login in my account. Is something happen with steam right now?

  • benrwatt Benjamin Watt hates fash (@benrwatt) reported

    @Bareashi @ELDENRING @Steam Okay cool. Now my confusion sits with how my SSD which has other games on it AND installed ER just fine cannot take the update. I experience the issue last night when it was released and hoped they'd get a fix before I sat down to play today.

  • Kiwourr Kiwi lvs Cometxio (@Kiwourr) reported

    @notch @Steam Idk why but that seems like an NFT's game I have problems with the NFT's

  • Bareashi Zane (@Bareashi) reported

    @benrwatt @ELDENRING @Steam Yeah that's a bit goofy. I'd say a clean reinstall should fix it but I'm no expert

  • notch Notch (@notch) reported

    @potatosordfight @Steam It has a few issues though, ranging from a baffling selection of wire colors through to random crashes. Still, I got 100 hours in it, and it gets almost too frequent updates.

  • parth__0 parth (@parth__0) reported

    @Steam_Support @Steam Purchased Elden Ring PC version on March1,2022 & facing performance/heating issues (recurring game crashes, overheating, glitches). lost 60-70% gaming hours to relaunch and constant hanging, need imm. refund !! and action on this

  • astromecanik astromecanik (@astromecanik) reported

    Looking for advice! I play on PC with #yoke/quad config for @MSFSofficial, and also an @Xbox gamepad for other games. On @Steam, the yoke seems to interfere with the controller config, and the gamepad doesn't work unless I physically disconnect the yoke. Any tips? (1/2)

  • CashcowsT CashcowsTv | Dape (@CashcowsT) reported

    @Steam can’t sign in

  • DakDreaded Dak RESURRECTED(see pinned) (@DakDreaded) reported

    @BabylonsFall_EN @PlayStation @Steam Can only hope Square doesn’t take it out Platinum for a stupid game they thought would work. This was doomed from the start Stop with the live service ideas
