Steam Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Howarding_ 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢 🐉 (@Howarding_) reported

    @SquareEnix @Steam It's not "still playable". None of the Core (1-6) and LAU games are playable - not without fan patches/mods. HOW is Squeenix/CD spending #TR25 promoting sales of broken, unsupported products?

  • NailamMazida Naila♠ (@NailamMazida) reported

    @YFNMetalman @Steam Finally my hacked account was perfectly fixed by @Ballersacademy. He is trusted and guaranteed for the service

  • GossipPurr GossipPurr (@GossipPurr) reported

    @playlostark My codes in my email say they are duplicates when I try to activate it in @Steam. Any fix for this? #LostArk

  • YFNMetalman Dylan M Olson (@YFNMetalman) reported

    My @Steam account got hacked today as an impostor tried to get my friends hacked with a link to make an account for a CSGO tourney. I'm sorry if this has happened to you. I have changed my login. I don't play CSGO. Why do I have 2FA if it doesn't work? I didn't even get notified.

  • soldieroffuton Soldier of Futon (@soldieroffuton) reported

    Well... I was gonna pick up the new #GuardiansoftheGalaxygame but my @Steam is doing that thing where the store is blacked out, and I can't remember how to fix it without looking it up. 60 bucks saved! (For now anyhow)

  • Telominas Telomina 🌸Emote Artist🌸 (@Telominas) reported

    @MoonglowBay @Steam I had an issue that I googled.. you can't actually call the radio to get towed back? Or does that only work if the boat is totally crashed?

  • Li_Desin Dex Lee (@Li_Desin) reported

    @Steam give me a ******* human being to solve my account issues

  • SiteMangatom Mangatom / Indie-A-tom (@SiteMangatom) reported

    @Steam Hi. I believe I may had my account hacked. I have acess to it and changed password. The problem is that I'm a reviewer and I tryed to add games I received from diferent devs and it got the duplicated message. Can someone be intercepting these keys?

  • CROFTM0RGAN reboot lara defender (@CROFTM0RGAN) reported

    @SquareEnix @Steam it's only playable after you downloaded 2847283 fan patches because all the classic games are broken and that's why we need ports, remasters and remakes. have a good night

  • CalypsisCroft Calypsis (@CalypsisCroft) reported

    @JimmyBeon @SquareEnix @Steam Widescreen issues, no controller support, at least 1 or two of the classics don't even open for people without patches, etc. Yes it OPENS, but it sure as **** isn't enjoyable without the fixes.

  • yujiniator Yūjinia (@yujiniator) reported

    @SquareEnix @Steam Fix them I’m sick of having to download 183730394 patches with hard instructions to follow 💀🙄

  • DmsDafuqq runehearth (@DmsDafuqq) reported

    @Steam @DeadByBHVR THIS GAME HAS AN ERROR EVERY TIME YOU GET INTO A LOBBY, COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE AND NOW STEAM WON'T GIVE ME A REFUND BECAUSE I PLAYED BEFORE ON FREE WEEKENDS

  • WlfbrProduction Kevin (@WlfbrProduction) reported

    @TaxiChaos @knight_vulgar @Steam Gotta give him credit for noting the repetitiveness of the dialogue at least, seems like it's only an issue on Xbox and Steam, PlayStation and Switch thankfully doesn't have that issue

  • bingobrewster bingo brewster 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #Vets4EU👨‍👨‍👧‍👧FBPE (@bingobrewster) reported

    @steam some of the games on your platform stop working, some take more than 2 hours to diagnose as not working. To say you are not interested if someone cannot play a purchase after 2 hours is not acceptable! I have spent many hours trying to get Startrek Bridge crew to work

  • izedatwolf Ize Dat Wolf (@izedatwolf) reported

    @Steam I keep getting auto-responses that are not helping me with a support issue. Can I please speak to a human being?

  • GodoyCarlos13 charly96 (@GodoyCarlos13) reported

    @SkyMavisHQ @Steam hi, i had an error sending eth from my metamask to ronin, i sent it directly to bridge, but from metamask. Please, Can someone help me.

  • Sid_Lazer Sid Lazer (@Sid_Lazer) reported

    @Steam I use a PS3/PS4 style controller but every game shows me an Xbox controller layout. Steam even detects my controller as a PS3 controller and the games still show me Xbox buttons. How do you fix this?

  • lucialambda Luciλ (@lucialambda) reported
