    @Bedrock050923 @Steam I had similar problems,I've made several appeals to support system over and over but no help was rendered until I was referred to #dacktech on Instagram they helped me fix my account they can help you too I admit he's good and legit i think such consistency makes him the best

  • Marvelm3030 marvelm (@Marvelm3030) reported

    @Steam have a little issue with a card I bought

  • AlfonsoCedeo15 Alfonso Cedeño (@AlfonsoCedeo15) reported

    @Steam I have problems with my account, I can not solve it for the support, help me please.

  • jdngr_ Danger @ Home (@jdngr_) reported

    Well I am back on Windows from HoloISO, couldn’t get it to ever update. It was neat but between the update issue and most games trying to stay at 720p (on a 4k tv). Let’s hope @Steam updates the Big Picture Mode soon to be more deck like. Or an official SteamOS 3 launch.

  • james_ochohepo1 James duck (@james_ochohepo1) reported

    @DagocJd @Steam i was really fed up when i had similar issues, support system did not even consider my complains i wrote them so many time but no response. i was recommended to #dacktech on instagram he got mine perfectly fixed fast with everything safe

  • ChangTa37080133 55766048 (@ChangTa37080133) reported

    Having second thoughts of returning my GTX 1080 Ti. Reason? It seems the latest 6.2.X versions of hashcat have issues using them. Yet the card can do graphics benchmarks just fine. Now if @Steam let’s me download my 800GB of games faster, I would have made up my mind faster.

  • S33W4 Doggo Itachi (@S33W4) reported

    @BattleBitGame @Steam i got 20-40 fps with a good pc that can handle 60-120 so please fix that or its unplayable

  • Gamgaam0 Gamgaam (@Gamgaam0) reported

    @S33W4 @BattleBitGame @Steam I had absolutely 0 problems. What is your setup ? You may have an issue

  • __silent_ Silent (@__silent_) reported

    @Mondodimotori @Steam @Steamworks Yeah, SimBin attempted to save to the Documents directory if not running as admin on an OS newer than Windows XP, but broke it - that's why on Steam the game runs as admin to work this issue around. I fixed the save instead, so it always saves to the game dir (for compatibility)

  • Yantoooss Yantos (@Yantoooss) reported

    @Steam Remove games that require you to spend an hour+ to fix to be able to play.

  • THCdonor Donor Gaming (@THCdonor) reported

    @Steam y'all are so ******* dumb how do you have a broken captcha system. ******* morons

  • luvskatya taytum (@luvskatya) reported

    @ZoeWills7 @Tomek69206914 @Steam Does he actually help? I have the same problem but my email is fine

  • Arixse1 Ash (@Arixse1) reported

    @ithan871 @playrust @Steam The issue is literally your 2060. The 2000 series cards, as well as the same generation AMD cards (5000 series) had defective silicon, and are very prone to having dead or dying VRAM. Look up "RTX 2060 Space Invaders" It's time to get a new GPU my man

  • __silent_ Silent (@__silent_) reported

    A new @Steam and/or @Steamworks issue for the month - Steam doesn't detect I am playing TOCA 2 because it doesn't realize that toca2.exe spawns a child tc2.exe process via WinExec. ShellExecute/CreateProcess work fine. At this point I wish I could just contact someone directly...

  • AGsMobileMassag Ashley Green (@AGsMobileMassag) reported

    @Steam why is it is impossible to reach you?? My son is in the hospital, I tried purchasing him a game Sonic the next morning it was refunded, now his account is locked. I went on to my steam tried to purchase as gift and he cant download it. Please fix this!!

  • flamestore_xyz Flame (@flamestore_xyz) reported

    @itchio @Steam @_RyuGames We're a multi-chain wallet, store, and launcher of games that users onboard through a simple social login. We support both web-based and desktop-native Web3 games.

  • PutYourOwnName ¡Christian! 💙🇺🇦💛 (@PutYourOwnName) reported

    @Sinus_Florian @Floridabummer @Steam I’ve looked at this game over the years. My girlfriend and I were interested. But I’ve heard it has lots of bugs and performance issues. Has it gotten any better in recent months or years? Haven’t seen it in a while.

  • TheOneNOnlyAnaB ꨄ𝐴𝑟𝑖𝐵 ꨄ (@TheOneNOnlyAnaB) reported

    @Ghostbebe514 @Steam I may have to check it out and see if it works on my device I think they have a subscription service right

  • thebl4ckd0g Chris aka Blackdog (@thebl4ckd0g) reported

    It's honestly really frustrating that almost all of my games that are older than about 10 years on @Steam - that worked in Windows 10 no longer work in Windows 11. Mostly they minimize to the taskbar and won't let me maximize into them. I wish @Microsoft would release a fix.

  • Reaper_4G RG | Reaper_4G (@Reaper_4G) reported

    yo @Steam @Steam_Support why has it taken over 10 hours to respond to a ticket about my account YOU flagged thinking someone else accessed it when I VERIFIED the login codes and its been logged in the same location every time. Little help here would be awesome! K thanks!

  • roknrolzombie ℜ𝔬𝔨𝔫𝔯𝔬𝔩 𝔓𝔢𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔰𝔢𝔫 🇺🇸🌻4⃣2⃣0⃣ (@roknrolzombie) reported

    @woutervddn @Steam @survivetheark Check out the discussions in the Steam Forums. Linux has never been a priority for ARK - generally when it breaks for me it's 2-3 weeks before (maybe) an update to (maybe) fix it. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...I've had mine way too long but you may be able to get a refund

  • Tomek69206914 Tomek (@Tomek69206914) reported

    @luvskatya @ZoeWills7 @Steam yeah i have problem with email I dont have acces to him

  • JoeyESQ Joey Armao (@JoeyESQ) reported

    Know how I knew @2K updated their launcher? I can’t get @CivGame to launch. Again. Instead of play time, I wish @Steam tracked how much time I’ve wasted trying to get the broken launcher to work.
