Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
J. Ilmari (@hide_X666) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Would've been nice if your servers would've let me purchase it. Got errors 30 mins straight and then it was sold out
-
SLayer (@Slayer_Int777) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam I don't see a problem. Just a game.
-
toad (@punishedtoad88) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam What's the problem? That's generally how it works
-
Dan Bowman ✝️ (@dplancephd) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam this looks like a fun game what’s the problem?
-
Agent Spirit (@CodenameSpiritR) reported@Steam Can ya'll fix your refund system please so I can refund an absolute piece of garbage game
-
that guy (@danny_mcnasty) reported@smith_rust @valvesoftware @Steam While I hate scalpers, and they were no doubt part of the problem by being apart of the server load, it's not their fault I couldn't purchase one. I had it in my cart at 10:00 PT, immediately went to checkout, and was never able to complete the purchase. My error message didn't change from "error initializing your transaction" to "items in your cart are out of stock" for 40 minutes. This is on Valve and their backend not being able to handle the purchasing traffic. I just hope they're able to identify the issues and make updates so this doesn't happen again in the next batch, the Steam Box, or the Frame

0G_M3T47R0N (@Met47ron) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I was met with that error and just spam clicked the link until I got a different page to finally populate!
-
CelticTiger (@IRISHANARCHY199) reported@KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam I think the main reason for the frustration is the storefront collapsing under the pressure within the first second of the item going up for purchase. I wouldn’t have gotten one myself if I hadn’t brute-forced the continue button on the purchase screen that kept giving errors.
-
TheVark (@isthatvark) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Had this issue as well, truly unfortunate they didn't let cart holders hold onto their spot. This error eventually went away after 30-40 mins, and just got a sold out notification at check out. truly cooked.
-
Jamil (@dick_face242) reported@valvesoftware @Steam @valvesoftware you guys do grateful work but the scalpers have made the lanch of the steam controller impossible to buy. I hope there is solution/fix for the controller and for whenever you release the steam machine and the steam frame
-
Royal Ryoto (@royalfort100) reportedI had my account hacked by some random guy on steam a while back around 2024, Well i contacted steam and they got me my account back within a day but also gave me a free 100 dollars for the trouble I just wanted to make this post because steam is awesome @Steam yall are goats!
-
Samy (@LongDuZgegs) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam Where is the problem? It’s a plantation simulator. Did you go to school and learn anything about history?
-
Dalanar (@DalanarTV) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I'll just be happy if it doesn't crash or freeze when I try to make my reservation
-
MildMillenial (@MildMillenialUS) reported@painmute @Moonie__OS @Steam There is the problem.
-
HoundRyS (@HoundofHope) reported@stroopwaffelyt @FzzyBzzy @Steam Having freedom is a problem according to people like you. It's a free market and it's not even telling people commit ****. Don't bring that "it influences people" Personal choice is personal choice just as you are virtue signaling right now.
-
DEVIOUS///DEVO (@FancyMeatCPU) reported@SubmarineTower @Steam I got the same error too.
-
Mary Erickson (@MaryEricks51284) reported@OKarma_OK @Steam @Steam_Support had this exact problem and ADCGSECURE fixed it.
-
Skywalker D. Luiee (@LuieeSkyWalker) reported@Steam @Steam_Support I’ve been trying to checkout the steam controller since it went live keep getting an error and now it’s sold out? I should’ve been able to purchase at 10am pct when I put it in my cart
-
Skylar167 (@Skylar167Twitch) reported@DaynglsGuides @valvesoftware @Steam I got this error and couldn't get it, and now its out of stock
-
Thorne (@ThorneAbrams) reported@AntiFurVoreGore @valvesoftware @Steam "Fairness" isn't getting special treatment because you've been a user for a long time. It’s everyone having the same 1-unit limit so the scalpers you’re complaining about can’t drain the stock. You’re asking to be part of the problem.
-
Meatball545 (@meatball545) reported@KalitoKalo @YoukaiNewsEN @Steam Do you have a problem with holding people accountable? Just because you like them doesn’t make them immune to the bare ******* minimum standard
-
Frank_nice94 (@MRloveyourite) reported@NakiVT @Steam If it was Black people, you wouldn’t have had a problem that slaves
-
Sapien Voice (@Sapien_Voice) reported@Steam So fed up, having to log into those UNNECESSARY gaming-platforms (even f offliners)! Let's look at the consumer-perspective: you are forced into being monitored and exploited! I remember much better user-service as long as developer/publishers managed servicing all by themselves.
-
Torelethain (@torelethain) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Seriously guys, why did you not roll this out like the Deck to prevent scalpers? You already had this problem solved. Big disappointment, guess I'll have to wait now.
-
ℳ (@BrianKent460131) reported from Genesee County, New YorkWho sends such blasphemous drivel on such a stout and honorable platform as X platinum? Wait, is this X platinum? Doxxing the nefarious Indian engineers at every attempt to scam me of a $40 @Steam gift card. Timeless wavelength. But can he sustain it through the market rush for @arcimoto stock this morning. Magic Eight-Ball: Sources say it's a possibility. Coffeepot check? coffee pot is locked in. Is @tomhanks tired, tied, awake, asleep? Does Jennifer Aniston not know that our "relationship" is strictly public. I have had women injure me; I'm sure Rikki will write to me in less than 90 minutes. I will slap some restaurant-quality cologne and take forkfuls of my slovenly self down to her office By 3pm we'll probably have cancer half cured. And then you'll all be like, "no, really, how in ******** did he just vanish in the night DESPITE ALL THOSE NIFTY SATELLITES that you *think* can track me. One day you will understand why every time you try to think of the next step you fail. One person makes their first jump. You don't usually live. Time goes so very fast. And? Well, then Twitter is STILL BROKEN. Or.... This: Becomes yet another curious description of the way people approach me...or someone is afraid of me. And to that I say sad again, but I still will not quit.

Star Scream (@StarScream7wj6) reported@Fen0505 @valvesoftware @Steam Prioritize people who bought and played games on their accounts, this with long service badges, and older than 6 months to a year
-
Zenzen (@zenzen65935550) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam Just consider it a historical game. Problem solved.
-
William (@WilliamTimeMage) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Just bought mine had no issues. Im in australia if that makes a difference.
-
Ignyte (@DJignyte) reported@Steam @discord @Windows The CLOSEST thing I got to it working the way I want, is by launching steam or discord via powershell. Which half works (does for Discord). But I launch steam by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Friends' so the friends list appears. Which the powershell thing doesnt fix.
-
Jeremy Wood (@excitedpixels) reported@Steam @Steam_Support do you have a random shipment generator for orders as it seems you are shipping the steam controllers randomly. I ordered at 57 just before, and my wife's at 18 past because you were broken for her. It's Def not in any kind of order which seems unfair. :(
