  • FarFetched731 Far Fetched 🇺🇦 (@FarFetched731) reported

    @slice3d @Subnautica @Steam That did fix the problem in the video I sent. The problem with wall textures in the cyclops remains, but that may not be what you are after, but it is the original thing I posted about. Either way, the experimental branch "appears" to be no worse that the release branch. :-D

  • JoPortgas Capt. John (@JoPortgas) reported

    @lireaxT @Steam so the game that i had problems with? Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga. Had it on an external Hard Drive, i saw no other choice then to uninstall it and put it on the main drive. Another half an hour wasted even longer if you have worse download speed then me lol

  • cptvictory19 captain victory (@cptvictory19) reported

    @microsoft you know after having several issues with all of your gaming software and the troubleshooting I’ve followed, I shouldn’t have had to buy #SeaOfThieves again on @Steam after having it since 2019 just to be able to login.

  • expectopadonut Denee (@expectopadonut) reported

    @steveracing7151 @Steam I’m having the same problem!! @Steam came here to see if I was the only one.

  • JonASinaga5 Jon A Sinaga (@JonASinaga5) reported

    @Steam Hey help me sign in my acc, i forget last password, forget email and phone nmber,, last online 2017 help me

  • sudoaptgetlife Dave 🐹 (@sudoaptgetlife) reported

    @OnDeck @Steam An example game I've noticed the issue with is Resident Evil 5. I understand there are community mods to get around these issues but since you already patched the issue in Windows is there any chance this fix will be extended to Linux/Proton/Steam Deck users too?

  • rex4by Jimmy Alayon (@rex4by) reported

    @Steam I am having trouble closing the Steam VR app in my Oculus 2. It will not close. The icon keeps spinning and never shuts down.

  • JacobinCG JacobCG (@JacobinCG) reported

    @Steam I need a steam support staff to help me with a problem

  • NothingButWOT Casino Luigi (@NothingButWOT) reported

    why didnt @Steam accept my refund request for geometry dash 2 months ago i just tried to fix it and now its made even more problems **** YOU STEAM!

  • Tim43205953 Tim (@Tim43205953) reported

    @playnewworld @Steam Im experiencing quite alot and high ping spikes since the update...never had this problem really but my internet itself is more then fine. Pretty unplayable at the moment :(

  • TheGarruk Garruk (@TheGarruk) reported

    @playnewworld @Steam I feel like In order to get most people back that left, you’d have to fix all the game breaking bugs and gold dupes, add new content so it doesn’t feel like you’re seeing the same 5 mobs and then relaunch the game with all servers being wiped so that it’s equal for everyone again

  • OvOAsuka Gawr (@OvOAsuka) reported

    @Steam can u guys fix up the server?its very difficult to log in when I changed account :(

  • hex_andrew Cataclysm void Hex (@hex_andrew) reported

    @Steam LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE HAS BUGS TO FIX!

  • ivyfeenix Ivy (@ivyfeenix) reported

    @GreenManGaming @chronogame Is it a @Steam issue because the game already launched on other platforms and people are playing the game?! Didn’t realize purchasing, using this method, would be such a hassle.

  • iyanuoluwasongs @iyanuoluwapraise (@iyanuoluwasongs) reported

    @GooglePlay I check through @Steam and @amazon they didn't have this issue of stealing money ey from their customer but google you thieves bunch if rubber

  • GreenManGaming Green Man Gaming (@GreenManGaming) reported

    @ivyfeenix @chronogame @Steam The game is not live on PC yet, and will not be for approximately 4 more hours. There is no issue at play here, this is just normal for how games launch on this platform.

  • ForishKing Forish king (@ForishKing) reported

    @MrInvinn @playnewworld @Steam My son jumped in on this today, not the free server but Fae. Is that an issue? Can he transfer for free afterwards to another server eg Barri? Or is it only if he played on a free server?

  • sudoaptgetlife Dave 🐹 (@sudoaptgetlife) reported

    @OnDeck @Steam There seems to be a problem with certain former GFWL titles that for whatever reason try to run the GFWL version instead of the Steam works patched version when running the game under Proton on Linux, the GFWL launcher errors and the game refuses to launch.

  • MelonyThelma Melony Thelma (@MelonyThelma) reported

    @xpeachflavor_TV @Steam The problem with all this customer support is their no response or automated replies that does not solve anything. When I had similar difficulties with my account I had to reach out to Metahacksupport on lnstgram for help. Good thing is they did help fix my acct.

  • Rguod Douglas Johnston (@Rguod) reported

    @Steam @OnDeck pretty disappointed with Steam support regarding my steam deck order. Basically told me to go away and refused to do any investigation into issues or direct me to anyone who would...

  • HibariSama_ AJ (@HibariSama_) reported

    @MegaRan @OnDeck @Steam Just don't play destiny 2 on there. Accounts have been getting banned for some reason when playing on Steam Deck. Something to do with the anti cheat not working right iirc

  • qawas__ qawas (@qawas__) reported

    @EekGamesLLC @Steam A solution i saw before was devs selling their game on their own Website, not through Steam, which circumvented the issue. I have the game, but can't buy future dlc's (bought it before Steam banned it)

  • lireaxT lireax (@lireaxT) reported

    @JoPortgas @Steam Hey, how did you fix it? I have the same problem...

  • Alxous Loading... (@Alxous) reported

  • MatynosBuritos MatynosBuritos (@MatynosBuritos) reported

    @BattleBitGame @Steam i see you fixed the grammar error, well still my ***** are bulging with excited

  • rob81NL RobL (@rob81NL) reported

    @Steam #Steamworks got some problems! I can't even connect to my local server because it's the middle man. Sad times :(

  • bpl1027 Mark Hutchinson (@bpl1027) reported

    @Steam motorsport manager aint loading , is there an issue?

  • Lex_Burgess Lex Burgess (@Lex_Burgess) reported

    @Steam I have been trying to purchase a game for 24 hours now. Every time I do it I have an authorisation error. I am on my last thread with steam? There are no help buttons or FAQ's on the 'checkout failed' page. Can't do anything about it.

  • falloutpvige p̷a̷i̷g̷e̷ ✌️ (@falloutpvige) reported from Toronto, Ontario

    @Steam you denied a refund request for me today on the grounds that it was purchased more than 2 weeks ago buy I said in the initial request that the game DOESN'T work despite my laptop running many other games. I've bought dozens of games and never had a problem until now

  • Tokolose Tokolose (@Tokolose) reported

    @AstonVillaDoge @danthegit @Steam What? Where did the murder came from?!?! Dude you have issues in your current mental state you should not be playing any modern videogames at all. Also did you notice that action movies and porn have different ratings right? Did you wonder why?
