    @Steam_Support Any backend issues reported for the client store pages? Can personally navigate them - just not add anything to my cart. I've seen other people saying the store just won't load for them.

  • JarleAGhostWolf Jarle Syvertsen (@JarleAGhostWolf) reported

    @Steam There seems to be an issue with steam remote play on MacOS Monterey, if you tab away from steam while it displays games that is avaliable to stream, the entire application hardlocks. At this point only a hard reboot of steam will fix it. Smells like race-conditions.

    G-String Update. It's done! Ready to go and ship. But I still can not because @steam will not send me the login authentication codes to my email. It has been days, and I've had the same email and steam account for 10 years. Sorry to anyone who was excited for our Steam sale!

  • mineatomtr MineatomTR (@mineatomtr) reported

    @CSGO @Steam Ayo I've got a problem, so I want to buy prime but there's a huge inflation on Euro which results in Prime being overpriced in Turkey (literally more expensive than a fat electricity bill). Can you do something about that? (eg:add regional pricing for prime)

    @RockstarGames for the love of your flagship franchise, please update/fix the old GTA's on @Steam GTA3, GTA:VC & GTA:SA - they're unplayable. People on the community tab have 'bug' fixes or downright downgrades to fix these horrible ports. The games haven't worked since WinXP.

  • TheCamarilla1 TheCamarilla (@TheCamarilla1) reported

    @Steam Steam - why am I suddenly being asked for refresh logins all the time? Every single time I turn my laptop back on, it prompts a re-sign in. I've not changed a single thing, this came out of nowhere and I can't get rid of it.

  • xCustomGraphix CᴜsᴛᴏᴍGʀᴀᴘʜɪx (@xCustomGraphix) reported

    Hey @play_pso2 @Steam @Steam_Support Any idea when the verify file integrity of PSO will NOT cause the game to completely uninstall itself? had a few issues in game with invisible names on a few items so checked integrity, now i have to re download the full 82gig again.... #PSO2

  • imjustintan Justin Tan (@imjustintan) reported

    @Steam having some trouble with my purchases. You lads are taking forever to reply…..

  • Di_Craveiro クラベイロ, ジエゴ (Diego) (@Di_Craveiro) reported

    @Steam Why is filtering by bookmarks not working in the store? The maximum I can use now is 1 marker, and that makes the search very comprehensive, which is contrary to the intention of using a filter.
