Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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
-
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.

CelticTiger (@IRISHANARCHY199) reported@KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam I think the main reason for the frustration is the storefront collapsing under the pressure within the first second of the item going up for purchase. I wouldn’t have gotten one myself if I hadn’t brute-forced the continue button on the purchase screen that kept giving errors.

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.
-
Avalice Productions (@DaveTheRetroGuy) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This wouldn't be a problem if your launcher actually worked 🙄
-
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
-
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

Red Sox Royal Rooter (@RoyalRooterSox) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Unable to buy due to errors for 20+ minutes, then it sold out. Crazy.
-
Bigdaddywoodlin (@NotWoodlin94) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Hahahaha wtf are you on about, it doesn’t effect anyone. If you don’t have internet for 30 days that’s your issue not there’s hahaha
-
Mark Guy (@noxtics) reported@nicholasadeleon @valvesoftware @Steam I got the same error, I didn’t spam it though, I let it sit for a bit and then tried again. It took 5 attempts like this and then I got through.
-
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.
-
Johnny Costello (@johnnyluvschu) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam I fully intended to get GTA 6 ok PS but with this I’d rather wait until it come out on PC. Not even a PS issue but the inconvenience and mental load of having to open my PS If I’m playing on PC, it’s not much, just more effort than I’m willing to give.
-
William (@WilliamTimeMage) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Just bought mine had no issues. Im in australia if that makes a difference.
-
GoodStuffPuff (@PowPowPony) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Just make it so your games can be played directly through steam and these problems would cease to exist for people, your launcher IS the problem
-
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.
