Steam Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Eldritch Boggart (@EldritchBoggart) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Fix your system, given that everyone was getting a transaction error, this has to be one of the biggest console hardware launch debacles in the last decade. Guess people who wanted one are out of luck because you can't handle payment transactions properly during a blitz.
-
Jeff Finkelstein (@jfinkelstein) reported@valvesoftware @Steam There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact Support for Assistance.
-
スペンサー (@Augm3nt3_1) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Keep getting transaction error when checking out?
-
PoLy. (@TheRealDarkSole) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This is a problem Ubisoft created. Not Steams fault.
-
Mike Odyssey (@MikeOdysseyYT) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Anyone having issues, try via the app.
-
Cuprumator 🇺🇦 (@Cuprumator) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Dudes, fix payment in Europe. I cant proceed with my purchase
-
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.
-
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
-
Avalice Productions (@DaveTheRetroGuy) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This wouldn't be a problem if your launcher actually worked 🙄
-
135.x (@135dotx) reported@Pirat_Nation Don't care. Microslop had years➕ to fix @Windows & are only doing it now bc losing ppl to Linux & @Steam. These companies will never learn – I hope gamers finally do. Money is voting power & I haven't spent any since "Xbox One (won)".
-
bobbynk (@bobbynk69) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Why don't you fix you're **** *** launcher
-
ty (@thetyl0413) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam 11 times out of 10 the problem is with Uplay tho
-
Taco Man (@TacoMaestro_) reported@ajshpprd @Steam Same here. I even preloaded my steam wallet to try to avoid any issues
-
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen (@TheVisitorSNAFU) reported@GooningOnRumble @Steam Did stream also crash? Some delisted products if gifted from an inventory won’t work and can crash the system. Also is the game sold in the West or is it an Asian game like Dead Or Alive volleyball?
-
Clemson Cuz (@ClemsonCuz) reported**** @Steam and their broken website.
-
Torelethain (@torelethain) reported@KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam **** off ****, there is plenty of reason for criticism, scalpers are an issue they had figured out and solve on the Deck launch, this was failed roll out. If it genuinely was sold we would be more understanding and happy for Valve. This was a mistep **** sucking fanboi.
-
Spacefish (@Spacefish) reported@valvesoftware @Steam "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." :(
-
Snow (@Snowmobile2004) reported@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
-
AzureCrux (@AzureCrux) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Payment processors have rate limits, chief. Too many people wanted controllers at once. Every platform exclusive has this problem, it's frustrating as heck.
-
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
-
moT (@moTtheWhite) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Lol, steams not the problem. Your ****** launcher is
-
iaya (@IayaXcxcx0) reported@valvesoftware @Steam When will it be back in stock I tried like 20 times to purchase it and I kept getting an error. 😭
-
Cap'n Slipp (@CapnSlipp) reportedDear @Steam, the useful Verification Code From E-mail feature in iOS/iPadOS doesn't work with e-mails from Steam. I believe this is because iOS only looks at the notification, not the whole e-mail. Please move the code further up (text-wise) in your e-mails to fix this. #UXBug
-
PaTryk_Gracz0l (@patrykgracz0l) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam funny that isnt a problem with any other non ubisoft game, detele the ******* launcher requriement
-
Figgle **** (@FiggleJizz) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Steam isn't the problem lmao.
-
Agent Spirit (@CodenameSpiritR) reported@Steam Can ya'll fix your refund system please so I can refund an absolute piece of garbage game
-
Fikusoowy (@Fikusoowy) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Just fix your ******* code at least
-
Active Tower Lore (@SubmarineTower) reported@Steam I am unable to request a refund at the moment. I get a red error and when I hit try again I get the message error code: -379.
-
Kyvlash (@Kyvlash) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I’m fine with a reservation system. But this is honestly ridiculous. This is a controller, not a Console. There is no Pandemic. This is normal Supply/Demand. And limiting customers to one reservation is a little silly imo. The demand for the Steam Controller exists, but it’s not going to rival its Console competitors. The outrage is mostly due to the payment system failures rather than people raging out about a non-existent scalper problem.
-
It's Totally Mikoto Time! (@MikotoWolfskin) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Selling out in 36 minutes is absolutely bathetic! Where is the Que? Preorders? Why did you not stop scalping! 2 per customer didn't help! in the start 1 per customer and stop reviewer from getting one in the start. Endless transaction error. Highly disappointed!
