    I've been playing Remember Me on @Steam and my PC is more capable of playing the game. In fact, it exceeds the specs for modern games, yet it struggles to play #rememberme. The #SteamDeck on the other hand has no issue whatsoever. Weird!

  • M00ncast3r

    @Steam I have been trying to login to my account t through the app but it keeps saying my password or user is wrong when it's not I can change the password or the phone number due to the stupid authentication stuff and I can't receive the codes I've tried everything I wanna login

  • olafkswg

    Is this a planned change with no announcement or a bug? Broken trade history suggests the other, @Steam support can't answer this question.

    @Steam I changed the password for the 3rd time but it's still not working.

    @yorksoriginal @Steam Doesn't it fix itself once you close the game?

  • hide_X666

    @valvesoftware @Steam Would've been nice if your servers would've let me purchase it. Got errors 30 mins straight and then it was sold out

    Evan Desjardins (@evandesjardins) reported

    @PlayStation support is pathetic and a scam. I can't wait for the @Steam Machine to come out, as I've had nothing but excellent customer service from @Steam_Support in the very few times I've needed it.

  • MrKillevrything
    Mr. Killeverything (@MrKillevrything) reported

    @GooningOnRumble @Steam Wtf? I don't believe that I have ever had this issue.

  • TacoMaestro_
    Taco Man (@TacoMaestro_) reported

    @ajshpprd @Steam Same here. I even preloaded my steam wallet to try to avoid any issues

  • LuieeSkyWalker
    Skywalker D. Luiee (@LuieeSkyWalker) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support I’ve been trying to checkout the steam controller since it went live keep getting an error and now it’s sold out? I should’ve been able to purchase at 10am pct when I put it in my cart

  • M00nlitCr0w
    Joseph Avery (@M00nlitCr0w) reported

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Apparently it’s not what we thought. PS4 hackers were stealing games. This was a response to that. Buy a game for the duration of the return period it’s a temporary license. After that login and get a new one that’s traditional.

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Have u try to disconnect your PC from internet for a day, then try run Steam and play games there.

  • drakaritto
    Mario Garcia (@drakaritto) reported

    @Steam Dear Steam Support, I have been trying to resolve an issue with my account for over a month now. Despite contacting your online support multiple times, I keep receiving a message that my account is tied to a sanctioned country.

  • NotWoodlin94
    Bigdaddywoodlin (@NotWoodlin94) reported

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Hahahaha wtf are you on about, it doesn’t effect anyone. If you don’t have internet for 30 days that’s your issue not there’s hahaha

    @valvesoftware @Steam Just bought mine had no issues. Im in australia if that makes a difference.

  • TheVisitorSNAFU
    Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen (@TheVisitorSNAFU) reported

    @GooningOnRumble @Steam Did stream also crash? Some delisted products if gifted from an inventory won’t work and can crash the system. Also is the game sold in the West or is it an Asian game like Dead Or Alive volleyball?

  • MikeTriceratops
    Michael (@MikeTriceratops) reported

    @smith_rust @valvesoftware @Steam Anybody that actually pays them those prices and rewards them for their scummy selfish behavior is only perpetuating the issue and encouraging them to continue scalping. Out of principle, I will wait however long I need to in order to purchase directly from Valve.

  • noxtics
    Mark Guy (@noxtics) reported

    @nicholasadeleon @valvesoftware @Steam I got the same error, I didn’t spam it though, I let it sit for a bit and then tried again. It took 5 attempts like this and then I got through.

    @UnfoldedAxe @UbisoftSupport @Steam nope has never worked to fix any UBI game ever, problem always with their launcher

  • JONEZZEEonMMA
    Kurt (@JONEZZEEonMMA) reported

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Yes, Steam generally wants you to sign in periodically to verify your account credentials, maintain security, and update license information.

    "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." yo, @Steam_Support @Steam Let me get a controller.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Fix your launcher, it sucks, or better, let us open the games directly from steam without having to see that mess you call launcher
