    @Steam hey guys i’m having an issue with a few of my new games on the steam games launcher. I thought i’d solved the problem by uninstalling the game that caused it but i’ve had no luck. I still have games affected by this issue and i refuse to redownload them.

  • PavelTuborg Pavel Pavel (@PavelTuborg) reported

    @Steam I was blocked from an account that is more than 11 years old and has spent more than 1,000 euros, for fraud, support responds with "unsubscribes", the problem is not solved. They don't want to unblock it.

  • Kinzuko Kinzuko (@Kinzuko) reported

    @OnDeck @Steam @valvesoftware I have found an expedient way to lock up the steamdeck with no added software, code, or internet connection. Steam button>desktop mode>steam>big picture mode. It never launches and the whole interface is frozen until i force a crash through clicking

  • Delta_studio_ Delta (@Delta_studio_) reported

    @Nors3 @Steam Didn't expect a new peek without new lockdowns. Honestly don't know how this happened, maybe the steam deck or the updated steam mobile app helped since the in-game record was not broken

    @Steam Is it possible to fix the EAC for battlefield 2042 and Dragon Ball The Breakers for the Steam Deck?

  • mousepointer121 mousepointer12 (@mousepointer121) reported

    So I've been having this issue for months. Has anyone started SteamVR and had themselves spawn under the world with no dashboard window? @Steam has been trying to help me but without the dashboard window I can't give the report that they need.

    Gave a chance to Final Fantasy Online on #Proton and it was nice to see @SquareEnix fixed the launcher issues. Most likely motivated by @Steam Deck. Had to use Proton GE other wise the first boot movie won't play though.

  • Princess_pangea PrincessPangea (@Princess_pangea) reported

    @Steam I have an issue with a faulty steam deck and when I messaged Support, their reply was "No documentation on the Steam Deck Bug Reporting --> ESC for better handling". What does that mean?
