    @Steam #1 problem I have, PC steam app looses contact with installed game and NO WAY to show the app that it's still installed. Happened numerous times now requiring me to delete 75+Gb and re-download the game.

    Hi, there @Steam . Neither the app nor the web browser let me log in my account, it keeps saying I've introduced wrong my credentials (even though I haven't). I've changed the lots of times but it keeps saying the same. I've been having this problem a while now...

  • flame13th Llyod Frontera's Stan / Azrie (@flame13th) reported

    Please fix your game launcher app @EA. Not only it went down a lot of times, can't even unlock @Steam achievements when playing @masseffect Legendary Edition game 2 and 3. You guys forced Steam players to use your app, but not able to fix things like this?

  • lambfever Jason Lamb (@lambfever) reported

    @Steam I get roughly 13 email notices a day from you about someone logging into my account. Triggering the email auth code to be sent. I've tried messaging you to help change my login name or email. (Not password - that's been done). What is going on here?!!

  • cowsofoblivion fungus (@cowsofoblivion) reported

    @heavvenIydesign @Steam No problem!! I’ll dig out my laptop and get my login info figured out just in case!! I’ve only ever used it when my bf wanted to play Stardew valley together and I got that from the Humble store so I don’t have any steam purchases lol

  • outcoldman Denis Gladkikh (@outcoldman) reported

    Cannot say if those are steam issues or a game. But definitely see a lot of things @Steam can improve about game saves. Simple versioning for file would be amazing, and I will pay for it.

  • JODADTweets JODAD (@JODADTweets) reported

    @pcgamer Can’t believe I’m gonna say this but I prefer Epic grow and take market share from Steam. I used to view Steam as the best company for games, but after I had a issue that I went to @Steam support over, I was insulted and called a liar even with proof of their error. Finally…

  • ImoleayoAdemide manchester forever👹 (@ImoleayoAdemide) reported

  • visorrepublic Visor Republic (@visorrepublic) reported

    @funktroniclabs @MetaQuestVR @Steam There are certianly a lot of fixes, the framerate is noticably better, resolution too and the little quality of life changes are nice. However, the tracking issue is still there where it pops you into 2D mode, it's very confusing as it doesnt happen with any other game.

  • copituki_suki VaneStan (@copituki_suki) reported

    @Steam Fix Argentinian payments *******

  • jeremymoorenc Jeremy Moore (@jeremymoorenc) reported

    Anyone else ever had an issue with @Steam being shady and saying your credit card purchase of a game failed when it very clearly didn't fail and is seen in your credit card transations?

  • heavvenIydesign 𓆩♡𓆪 ヘブンリー✨️ (@heavvenIydesign) reported

    @Steam why can I not email someone or chat to someone about an issue I'm having that isn't showing in the FAQs? I just need support from a human.
