Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MrBnBain Cuffy (@MrBnBain) reported

    @Battlefield @Battlefield - @steam won't honor my refund because I spent 2hr trying to get the game to actually work on my PC. Now I have an unplayable/broken game that I pre-purchased early. Not able to function on a 2080 Super GPU.

  • LibertyForAll19 Old School Wargamer (@LibertyForAll19) reported

    @Steam This looks very enticing till I remember what an unstable wreck Steam is, how often I cant play games I paid for in full, and how many of them lay broken cause of steam updates . One literally for years.

  • jengnoo 𝐉𝐞𝐧𝐨. jfb? (@jengnoo) reported

    @almirante_ff @Steam having same issues and have being trying to email the support team for some weeks and literally they didn’t even meet up to my request till i saw the good recommendations about @Piratesppy on Twitter and I give it a Trial in less than an hour my account was restored peacefully.

  • Konni Konni Winkler (@Konni) reported

    Ehm, @Steam? "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again." Eigentlich nichts laut Verlauf. Hat gerade jemand noch das gleiche Problem? Kann gerade nichts kaufen.

    @devapsingh @Steam Sorry about the issue concerning your account but in my opinion there’s a chance of recovery contact #ethanmatheew on Instagram

  • DamienXIII Damien (XIII) (@DamienXIII) reported

    @perverteer @Steam As in my opinion @Steam doesn't have any reason to not allow this game..... Even I think, #AdultGames (especially #AVN) industries are getting bigger and bigger..... So, hopefully, there will be no problem.....

    @almirante_ff @Steam Sorry about your account I had a similar problem but I got external help from @coderzeelox on Instagram because support wasn’t really helpful. He might be of help to you too, look him up…

  • TrueWolfy True Wolfy (@TrueWolfy) reported

    @MrBnBain @Battlefield @Steam My boyfriend has the same issue, he spent so long trying to make the damn game playable that he can't get a refund.

  • dyeoxy Cody (@dyeoxy) reported

    So with both Crab Game and @DeadByBHVR having vulnerabilities leaking players IPs, has @Steam addressed this issue? I feel like with two major games, it's worth them looking into than just pass it off as game devs ******* up.

  • JonGarbee Jonathan Garbee (@JonGarbee) reported

    The @Steam and @NVIDIAGeForce Now integration is pretty bad. Accounts are connected, but I still need to login with my username/password to start a game. With a password manager made long complex password, it's not happening. Can't paste it in either. This is unusable.

  • IxidorsDreams There Are Other Worlds Than These (@IxidorsDreams) reported

    @EpicGames Never buy @EpicGames they are fraudsters, they literally make me reset my password everytime i wanna play Kingdom Hearts— basically have an internet connection and remember to have all kinds of sign in info just to play a game— NO THANKS stick to @Steam

  • mcgregor1345 eka safitri (@mcgregor1345) reported

    @Pchaz_ @SkyMavisHQ @Steam Sorry for the inconvenience, I had this same issues few weeks ago, I contact the support but there was no response so I was recommended to carrick_cyber1 on Instagram, he help me solved my issue. I’m sure he can help with yours too.
