Steam Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Naskye_ Naskye (@Naskye_) reported

    @downrightdpad @Steam 100fps more than switch, lol. I've pretty much stopped using it due to performance issues. I played quite a bit of Minecraft Dungeons with my son, but the drops to single digit fps is painful.

  • Wacho51 Wacho (@Wacho51) reported

    @Steam Sorry Steam, the proposal is good, but it looks uncomfortable, you must bear in mind that there are players with hand problems, and this would worsen their playability.

  • TheLastDonut TheLastDonut (@TheLastDonut) reported

    @Steam Wait wait wait wait, these are pc games we're talking and these days huge updates can be a huge issue, what are our options if we buy the base model?

  • _BitMan BitMan 🔜 BLASTER MASTER ZERO 3 (14 DAYS) (@_BitMan) reported

    @TheMrMo_ @Steam actually it might I bet Cemu or one of the Switch emulators would work no problem

  • HJayZ91 Mr. Jones (@HJayZ91) reported

    @Rooflemonger @Steam Could this help with moving the FGC towards PC? No different specs and variables(to change the amount of input lag), console price point and will run any Windows 10 fighting games

  • BanjoSteamboat Tails (@BanjoSteamboat) reported

    @Steam finally no more lag

  • AndrewBavaro Andrew Bavaro (@AndrewBavaro) reported

    @Halo @Steam You need to fix the latest season 7 bug: pressing windows key or alt+tab causes mcc to disappear. Still shows in task manager but you can't get back into the game! It's the worst!

  • zebraramtin ram7in (@zebraramtin) reported

    @Steam I’m sure valve is much smarter than you keyboard lawyers and have all their issues covered in this project

  • MegaSpeedRed Mega Speed Red (@MegaSpeedRed) reported

    @Steam Looks interesting but already i have a problem with it. what ******** with that button layout?, was it really neccessary to sacrifice a good layout for some touchpad ****?.

  • SpeedStriker SpeedStriker (@SpeedStriker) reported

    @Steam @VJ_frmk Switch Pro: Haha. I'm in trouble.

  • efrenventura efrenventura (@efrenventura) reported

    @groganard @Steam On IGN video mentioned that you can put Windows without a problem

  • Philip23980 PHILIP 🇱🇷 (@Philip23980) reported

    @FlyBoiPlays @Steam @Steam_Support I had a similar hacked problem with my account until Thomas_hacker02 on Instagram helped me recovered my account

  • ISOUP6 ISO-UP (@ISOUP6) reported

    @luke_luckyshot @PapaWeeners @Steam I think Valve actually fixed Proton to play multiplayer games with anti-cheat, but they have not released this version yet. The devs were pretty confident in their interview with IGN that we can play all multiplayer games with no problem whatsoever.

  • zeCatDoesntSass Sarah ×͜× (@zeCatDoesntSass) reported

    @Twitch @Steam hush, run along now, stop trying to piggyback onto another company's actual relevancy. fix your own first.

  • beinfoolish anders. (@beinfoolish) reported

    @Lizardguy17 @JustAnLED @Steam Why the hell would I ask for the same switch re-released that fixes none of the problems of the previous release? I'll wait for a Switch 2 lol and probably throw a preorder down on the cheapest option for the steam deck as well.

  • SeiberSaiban Seiber Saiban (@SeiberSaiban) reported

    @Steam Tempting, but my number one general complaint about steam is having to sign in just to play a game even it's just for the single-player experience. The convenience is great, but it does not translate well in portable form.

  • NessIsMyMain Chris (Cross Will Make You) (@NessIsMyMain) reported

    @Steam Hm, interesting. Doesn't *seem* like it's just another streaming/games as a service piece of plastic. I'm sure I'll have other concerns along the way (annoying DRM like Denuvo, always online stuff, maybe some compatibility issues with older games), but I'm at least intrigued.

  • chavez90988 JustAnother (@chavez90988) reported

    @downrightdpad @rougesome @Steam Medical bills for carpal tunnel sounds like a Country problem to most

  • AladMocu AladMocu (@AladMocu) reported

    @mph2210 @LadyLavinias @Steam 2. I think that this problem can be solved w the ethernet port in the dock idk

  • InsertNameHRM Hermanni (@InsertNameHRM) reported

    @BobHughes13 @JacobSBrowning @Steam I'm also aware of the Switch's issue with the drifting joycons (which i won't forget), but at least the handeld's entire gimmick allows you to either repair or change joycons to your liking without taking the whole system apart (except for the Lite model),

  • PedroArochaS Pedro M Arocha Silva (@PedroArochaS) reported

    @Steam greetings. I have problems accessing my account. I am prompted for a code that support should send to my email account, which never arrives. I have checked and the account is correct, and have gone thru the process detailed in support website, and still nothing

  • frankunusual Frank (@frankunusual) reported

    @AdrianPowerRP @Steam Looking for assistance, I advise you to contact the service of *@tech_hacktools* on Instagram, he's the best in all various hacking services. you can also contact him on WhatsApp +1 (724) 602-6716

  • VeganskKorv Vegan Sausage (@VeganskKorv) reported

    @JustAnLED @Steam Outselling Steam in consoles or broken joycons?

  • MarcHattem Mooze Likes naps (@MarcHattem) reported

    @BPropellors @Very_0wn @Steam At 720 it has no problem running most games. All that power can go to graphics instead of driving a larger resolution.

  • konatizer kona (@konatizer) reported

    @SquirrelKiev @Steam Proton has been in development for years and they're just now getting to this? I can't say I trust they'll resolve this issue before the deck's release.

  • jesterx64 Jesterx64 (@jesterx64) reported

    @downrightdpad @Steam I mean, it's just under a pound and a half. That shouldn't be an issue for nearly anyone. It's 100 bucks more and has more than double the horse power and double the storage with the base model and can play your whole steam library. My only complaint is the resolution.

  • Doran81644542 Doran (@Doran81644542) reported

    @Steam I'm sure it's good because it's valve but when will you FIX YOUR GAMES

  • b133d_4_u Lord of the 'Pais (@b133d_4_u) reported

    @downrightdpad @Steam I never play my Switch without some kind of resting platform like a table or my legs anyways, so weight doesn't matter. I can finally play my Steam games portably and I don't have to rebuy games I already own just to do that. 3rd party wraps will be out in months if it's an issue

  • TheFlo84 Florian Brenninger (@TheFlo84) reported

    @Steam @der_Zote For some Reason i think there is a huge Lag built into it. And thats is not good. It might be just me but i doubt it. Something seems off. Hope you can sort it out. Other then that… ok. But Lag would kill this for me. There is no worse Thing then that.

  • zOOpygOOpert zOOpy (Real Mario) gOOpert🆖️ (@zOOpygOOpert) reported

    @Steam It seems too big on the sides Like the actors seem to have problems reaching the buttons
