    @Steam_Support When can we downgrade updates? Im so sick of broken updates. Atm i can't play rdr2 singleplayer because it crashes every 10-20 min. And you know what is ******* funny? The people who downloaded cracked version can play it but the ones who paid can't.

  • MRRATCHET_ MR RATCHET (@MRRATCHET_) reported

    @Steam_Support Is there a fix for the high CPU usage caused by 'Steam Helper' on MacOS? I've identified that this appears to be linked to the Friends list. Closing 'Steam Helper' stops the friends list from working but CPU usage drops back down to normal levels (1/2)

    Hey @Steam_Support I bought the complete package for DA2 with all the DLCs but only Black Emporium shows up in the game. Any idea why or how to fix it?

    @Steam_Support I know I'm supposed to send a ticket but when I tried was redirected to EA. I bought the version of DA2 that comes with the DLC bundle, but the only thing that shows up in my library is main game & black emporium. Please tell me who to contact to fix this problem.

    @Steam_Support I put in a ticket on steam support about 3 weeks ago, hoping to get my issue resolved with my Index Controllers. Both controllers have now died, and wont charge, or switch on. Ive had no updates, and feel like my controllers will never get RMA-d.. How long does 1/-

    I see others saying #Steam is down, but not for me, yet at least. I'm only missing all content in my uploaded images, which is also rather annoying but hopefully due to the same problem @Steam_Support ?

  • VizardJeffhog Jeffhog || Wear a Damn Mask (@VizardJeffhog) reported

    @yaboyNinja It keeps wanting me to open a support ticket, but to do that I need to login. And there's no email address or phone number I can contact. @Steam @Steam_Support What the hell, man?

    When the steam authenticator is broken so in order to log into the authenticator app you need the authenticator app number, but to get the number you need to be logged in leaving you in a loop unable to log in at all. Good job causing a loop and locking me out @Steam_Support
