Steam Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Big Gamer (@I_Am_Fred7) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Costwise it's feature packed, so I don't really have an issue with the price however the plastics used look a bit cheap. Also the Puck adds another dimension of friction, the controller might work without it but it adds clutter and a point of failure to the system.
-
Wyrd (@I_am_Wyrd) reported@Steam I'm not sure what the issue is, but in South Africa @Steam browser barely loads. I have done all the trouble shooting, nothing fixes it. Looking to buy a game? Can't. Nothing loads. This problem has been persistent for over a year. Please fix!
-
John GameFix (@John_GAMEFIX) reported@Q4Q4U @UbisoftSupport @Steam Still having the same issue?
-
Joseph Avery (@M00nlitCr0w) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Apparently it’s not what we thought. PS4 hackers were stealing games. This was a response to that. Buy a game for the duration of the return period it’s a temporary license. After that login and get a new one that’s traditional.
-
Gengoralt (@GengoraltP) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam The problem is YOUR ******* LAUNCHER YOU USELESS PIECE OF ****!
-
Camarada Pedreiro de Software ☭ 🇧🇷🌻 (@javadadepressao) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Brazilian players want to buy Valve hardware officially, at a fair price, with proper support. We are not asking for magic. Just a legitimate way to buy the product without gambling with bureaucracy and warranty issues.
-
Taco Man (@TacoMaestro_) reported@ajshpprd @Steam Same here. I even preloaded my steam wallet to try to avoid any issues
-
ViDEOGOMEZ (@videogomez) reported@Null1130250 @valvesoftware @Steam They've had YEARS to fix their international supply problems, I had to buy my Steam Deck from a third party just because I live a few kilometers below Texas.
-
Rennette 🐘 (@CodenameTHO) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Yeah, because Steam is totally the issue you prat.
-
cofffin (@HWMreb) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Fine for me. User error.
-
ScareCrow (@Scare_29_Crow) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam It was mis-reported. Everyone gets a 30 day offline license, which converts to a permanent license after you login on the 15th day or later after purchase. All is good.
-
Yorks (@yorksoriginal) reported@SleepingFumo @Steam Glad someone understands the pain. It's gotten way worse lately too; always had issues but would maybe get 2x the actual playtime logged, annoying, but not the end of the world, but now I'm two hours into Higurashi and somehow already have over 200 hours logged!!!
-
Sydney Louw Butler (@GendoWasRight) reported@TankeryChan @valvesoftware @Steam Just FYI, Amazon pulled out of SA temporarily because of how much theft there was in the postal service. It came back after establishing a private shipping network, and clearly is happy with the risk level because Amazon is building a local warehouse here now.
-
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.
-
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.
-
bobbynk (@bobbynk69) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Why don't you fix you're **** *** launcher
-
Joenziii ☦︎ (@Joenziii) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Listen I had the same issue but if your gonna complain don’t use ai to ******* do it
-
Barry Ticks (@BarryTCks) reported@valvesoftware @Steam just a friendly tip for my favourite company of all time, due to the controller issue recently, limit the steam frame and machine 1 per household, and a similar process to the new controller protocol you just announced. To stop trolls. So we don’t miss out.
-
Undefeated (@NeedtoKnowBassi) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Bad enough they got issue that they can't fix with the console itself.
-
Lucoa's Husbano (@Lucoa_Star65) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Here's an easy solution: Delete your ****** DRM Launcher from existence. That will solve the problem.
-
hombo (@RGB_MIDAS) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Actually the issue usually lies within your launcher and not Steam's. There is absolutely no reason why I need to enter my password every time for *some* games but it works fine for others. There has never been a single day where uPlay/Ubisoft Connect has been good.
-
******* (But it is gender) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ ⚲✨️ (@nett00n) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam If YOUR launcher is a problem - just get rid of it
-
mr orange (@streamingdeluxe) reported@Tyretes @valvesoftware @Steam Not helpi g with error
-
ComicalRock (@comicalrock) reported@The_FrostySinZ @UbisoftSupport @Steam As they say, piracy is a service issue, in this new age of lack of real ownership, bad launchers, bad products, DRM ruining performance and etc., it is no wonder piracy is on the rise again. I don't do it myself, but I get it, they need to earn our money and trust again.
-
ammar (@AMMAR1137205) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Rainbow Six Siege is asking for an activation code even though it's free-to-play. The game shows as owned on both Steam and Ubisoft Connect. Steam ID: 76561199701512544. This is a license sync issue on your end, please escalate to your technical team
-
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.
-
Sydney Louw Butler (@GendoWasRight) reported@TankeryChan @valvesoftware @Steam Through the government postal service maybe. Never had a DHL or other private shipping company lose a single item, and I receive a LOT because of my job.
-
ty (@thetyl0413) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam 11 times out of 10 the problem is with Uplay tho
