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!
-
markemark1286 (@MarkBerryh45268) reported@ThisOldGuy3 @Steam @grok I've never played. Is it good? I need a good game to fix my brain.
-
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
-
Glorious Kev (@GloriousKev) reported@itsunforgiven @valvesoftware @Steam couldn't get one? skill issue
-
Michael Spencer (@ReadFuturist) reported@Steam are you using AI in your customer service now? Literally the worst experience I've ever had being locked out of my account! Definitely considering migrating off of this platform. About to tell everyone I know.
-
97skynet (@97skynet) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Added to cart at launch, but then nothing but error messages until a minute after launch when it showed out of stock. But at least the scalpers were able to get them. They are gong for $300 on eBay. Can’t say I’m surprised, just disappointed.
-
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.
-
スペンサー (@Augm3nt3_1) reported@valvesoftware @Steam To those getting the “transaction” error just keep spamming continue, it take a minute or two but it will go though!
-
RarelyBarelyGaming (@Barelygaming0) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That is a broken system. Valve knows the base, how you not ganna make enough.... Wut.
-
яυѕтуρωη (@Rusty_PWN) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your game, not their, and it's your launcher causing the problem. Nobody likes you and the reason is this kind of bullshit on top of your dogshit code
-
Warrior_Nation (@BWarrior76) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam This thing is blown way out of proportion. I do not see a problem with it, nor a reason for it. No internet for 30 days, your game is disabled until you re-connect? Ok lol
-
Adam Orand (@King_INF3RN0) reported@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...
-
Adam Mckeithan (@Adammck) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Gave up on trying to buy one. Damn store was broken with nothing but errors. Guess I’ll get one in a year or so.
-
nomellamesfriki (@nomeIlamesfriki) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam You don't own any game bought digitally in Sony or Steam. You only own the license to play it thrugh Sony/Steam. They can close the service when they want. It is all in the TOS.
-
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
-
Steward (@wolfybbad) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck You just had to keep clicking continue. There was a bajillion users all trying to buy at the same time, no system can handle that its basically a DDoS attack lol.
-
Stephen McHugh (@longshotmagoo) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I knew the controller would sell out fairly quick like but 30 mins is insane haha. Valves biggest problem is filling demand, that's a great problem lol
-
unknown (@oggyglu) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam The only problem is your trash launcher.
-
Márcio Freitas (@marciovmf) reportedYep, after owning all Playstations since PSOne, and being a PS+ subscriber since the service started, I feel it is time for me to abandon console gaming moving to @Steam definitely.
-
Vinnie2004 (@Vinnie20041) reported@Steam Fix steam support Pretty Pretty Please, I need to refund four sims packs.
-
Erasmus Magnus (@erasmus_magnus) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Hope it works in browser games, my Steam Deck had weird binding issues with that.
-
olafkswg - Buying Skins 95% (@olafkswg) reportedIs this a planned change with no announcement or a bug? Broken trade history suggests the other, @Steam support can't answer this question.
-
Taco Man (@TacoMaestro_) reported@ajshpprd @Steam Same here. I even preloaded my steam wallet to try to avoid any issues
-
IoriShakor (aka Jamaal) (@IoriShakor) reported@Snowmobile2004 @Steam @OnDeck I'm glad it worked for you, but it looks like a lot of other people have the same issue and tried more times. The algorithm God blessed you
-
donna berry (@tnafanforever) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam I guess that's why i choose to play on xbox series x, i set mine as my home xbox and even if there is an internet outage i can still play my games offline
-
Kompeter (@benKompeter) reported@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
