    @Steam Trying to get a #Steamdeck. The worst online shop experience so far... Errors in every step and ou have to start from the beginning every time. It's 2021 btw...

  • RyanWaldmania RT (@RyanWaldmania) reported

    @Steam So, first steam locks me out due to errors on their end, then the deck disappears from my cart, and now reservation servers are down. This is going as expected.

  • savinator101 The_Savinator101 (@savinator101) reported

    @Mr_Bo_Jenkins @Steam An error happening to a lot of people today. Either contact support or try again later.

  • NorskPatrol Norsk Skogkatt Patrol (@NorskPatrol) reported

    @ZovKx @Steam @Steam_Support after exactly 90 minutes of logins, gateway 502 errors, page refreshes I managed to put a reservation in my cart. Another 5 minutes struggling to pay and It finally worked for me. So the "account is too new" is just part of overloaded servers.

  • Ero__Terrorist ♡Sin♡ (@Ero__Terrorist) reported

    @Steam Just got the "tried to make too many purchases in the last few hours" error again. you ******* better give the people that put the damn thing in our cart at 10am sharp priority over those who bought it hours later. im not waiting a year for this **** when i was one of the first.

  • danielrphillips Donn13 Dark0 (@danielrphillips) reported

    @JustinRoiland @Steam Same issue for me.

  • Cotyleus LoboGaming (@Cotyleus) reported

  • Dyslogix DYSLӨGIX : That's It, I Quit. (@Dyslogix) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support Um, your client is broken .. I think I'll put off my interest in the hand-held for a while :S

  • hungchad HangingChad (@hungchad) reported

    @Steam I’m getting all sorts of errors trying to reserve mine … here’s the newest one “Reservation Servers are busy, please try again”. Any advice on how to reserve one of these??

  • RazorrazorRedd RazorRedd (@RazorrazorRedd) reported

    @lacecicle @Steam Yep I'm getting the same problem!!!

  • ZeroLegend1996 ZL000000 (@ZeroLegend1996) reported

    @Mortraven53 @Steam problem is, it's not a preorder it's reservation, and Im in the same boat as u, but if it didn't go through probably it will be a year at least, not just a few months

  • jcrowly John Brown (@jcrowly) reported

    @Steam How about you telling us what your doing to fix your broken check out system, and turning off the you've tried too many times feature.

  • refrained Pippity | Sk8 and Haikyuu give me life 🍵🌸|🐻🐰 (@refrained) reported

    @TheOuterOnes @RottyNTeaks @Steam That's what we did. Loaded it on there last night in preparation. Hubby had one error, then it went through.

  • fettouhi Dr.NoNo (@fettouhi) reported

    @Steam anyway that has been having ******* issues. I recommend get some money in your steam cart which will fix the issue with validating credit card or paypal. Also if you still see the server not responding. You need to flush your DNS on the PC you are on. after that I got trough

  • DemonEmperorV DemonEmperorVoid (@DemonEmperorV) reported

    @Steam What is considered a new account? I’ve had steam since day 1(or near enough), not purchased anything for several years but plenty before then. Was getting the new account error, now getting the reservation server busy. Managed to get to PayPal but errored out

  • voyg1 Graymisfit (@voyg1) reported

    @Steam okay I'll be the bigger man and apologize after an hour you did fix the problem and I was able to put my pre-order Reserve in thank you you should be wanting your product to get into the hands of Gamers and not scalpers

  • Hcsif What The Fisch (@Hcsif) reported

    @Steam Was able to add it to my cart at like 1:01 and it wouldn’t let me check out!!! Now I got it in my cart again and same issue won’t let me check out

  • synosuki シノスキー ❄️ (@synosuki) reported

    @SteamStatus @Steam still not working for me in Florida

  • aadamadeola damse (@aadamadeola) reported

    @NikoSkipz @Steam Wait a bit and they will send you an email saying there was an error in the transaction and they will tell you to try again. They will attach a link to that email to try again and you should do that immediately and it should go through. Mine was pending and It just went through

  • FlareGunDebate Slow Hadoken (@FlareGunDebate) reported

    @Protostar @Steam I waited 5 minutes gets rid of the "too many attempts" error, then tried to hook up PayPal. I got an error about failing to connect with PayPal 4 or 5 times but on the last attempt it went though.

  • FoxSalt1 FoxSalt (@FoxSalt1) reported

    @Steam @valvesoftware Why this is important, and problematic.. while that error continues to persist, and other's may be able to get their orders locked in. It pushes people like myself further down the list and a longer wait for the device. To the point, you might as well wait for a full launch

  • kiffylee 🏳️‍🌈🐺Kiffy🐺🏳️‍🌈 (@kiffylee) reported from Manchester, England

    @Camega42 @Steam You'll have a saved cart with the failed transaction. Had the same issue but it eventually worked in the end

  • weirdio Trent (@weirdio) reported

    >Server error >too many attempts, wait a while >hour and a half, get to the next page, stuck on "waiting" for 10 mins,says the purchase might have gone through and tells me to check my recent purchases >recent purchases page errors Really amazing job here @steam #SteamDeck

  • fuzzles4lyfe fuzzles … proud citizen of CHAMPA BAY! (@fuzzles4lyfe) reported

    @jdcrowley @ItsElectric @Steam Try it a couple times. I had the same issue.

  • GaudenTertius Tertius_Gauden (@GaudenTertius) reported

    @downrightdpad @Steam Hahaha. I can by an over 200GB SD card for <$50. Hardly even a problem because I had to do the same exact thing for the Switch. If the joy cons on this don't go to **** within 30 hours of playtime, money well spent.
