    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It’s not broken, you just had to keep clicking. Worked for me on the 10th try. They were basically being ddosed so this is to be expected

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam clearing steam's download cache does not fix "games not starting" issues at all, ubisoft. it only deletes what is currently being downloaded... Why would a game that relies on your useless launcher not start because of a download happening on steam, when it's ready to play?

    @Feeh_LacerdaS @studiozaum @Steam the specific sentiment was regarding the individuals on the team who were the sole reason the issues came to happen in the first place. don't be obtuse

    @lichqueenie @UbisoftSupport @Steam I tried to play Far Cry 3 but it kept crashing constantly. Ubisoft launcher was the issue and best way to fix it was pirating it because it avoids ubi launcher lol

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I had no issue. It likely crashed do to high traffic

    @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.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Only took 50 minutes of spamming the continue button. Maybe some launch-day payment processing server allocation? Monday at noon pacific is a low time for gaming, might as well, right? Gonna need to fix this for the Machine and Frame...

  • Disco_Drew523
    iDrinkBourbon (@Disco_Drew523) reported

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That happened to me too. You have spam that check out button eventually it loaded correctly and went to next step. At the end of the day it was broken. Also I noticed controller went live 3 min before 1PM EST. Maybe that’s what broke it

  • gengamer110

    I've been playing Remember Me on @Steam and my PC is more capable of playing the game. In fact, it exceeds the specs for modern games, yet it struggles to play #rememberme. The #SteamDeck on the other hand has no issue whatsoever. Weird!
