    Found an issues with Steam VR when ether trying to load Steam VR or trying to load a VR Game. @Steam and/or @SteamVR would crash. I thougt it was my dying Hard Drive (because sometimes it causes issues) but no, the solution was to unplug my PS5 controller. IDK if its a issue in Steam or Steam VR given I haven't left my PS5 controller plugged in in a while. Also I'm using Linux (CachyOS) and the headset I'm using is the Quest 3 (sadly) @valvesoftware #Linux #VR #Gaming

    @Steam @discord @Windows The CLOSEST thing I got to it working the way I want, is by launching steam or discord via powershell. Which half works (does for Discord). But I launch steam by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Friends' so the friends list appears. Which the powershell thing doesnt fix.

    I was trying to release the update now and this has happened! Basically, had an issue where my phone broke, have a temporary one for now. Now @Steam have apparently blocked me from releasing it for 72 hours due to the new phone! 😭 I have sent a message, hopefully we can get this resolved! #IndieDev #GameDev

    Hey @Steam any chance of talking to someone? Your website is a bit **** when trying to navigate and resolve an issue, so I need a real person.

    Netleaf 🇺🇸 (@netleaf2) reported

    @Steam Will you please fix the damn steam client? I just had to redownload a 100GB game because I couldn't move it due to a 'content lock file' error. That is total nonsense, total bullshit. If I had moved the files manually it would have worked fine. But I'd rather cost you money.

    @TopMdw @Steam Hi Kevin, your game is awesome! D you have a working link to the Contraption Maker Discord server by chance? The one I tried on the Steam page is not working... :(

    @CounterStrike dog **** game full of cheaters 🫠 Why can't @Steam make it that if you have a game ban of any sort you shouldn't be allowed to play online games And multie van bans. gee I wonder how low life this guy is. Fix your ******* game so I can just play against 5 legits!

    @Steam can’t get in to my account, can’t play a game I own because of this and can’t buy a disc to play the game without needing to login to this stupid unnecessary platform

  • CryptoPro2008
    Crypto Pro (@CryptoPro2008) reported

    @ARCRaidersGame #ARCHEATRS Dear @Steam and @Xbox, why is ARC Raiders being sold for $40 when the cheating problem is ruining the experience for legitimate players? Consumers deserve better. Where is the accountability?

  • Conker64_
    Conker T. Squirrel (@Conker64_) reported

    All the piracy issue could've been solved if only you publish games on the @Steam platform. It's really not that hard, you'll gain a lot of loyal supporters if you switch to publishing more games on Steam. @valvesoftware solved this piracy issue before when no corporation did it.

  • EP_SAM09
    SAM🇮🇷 (@EP_SAM09) reported

    @NimBold @Steam, this issue needs to be solved fast. The U.S. treasury department has lifted restrictions set on online platforms since January. Saying "you're sanctioned no can do " is extremely unacceptable. We've just come out of a #DigitalBlackOut. That's not a nice welcome.

    So tradeable Item gets turned into Souvenir --> 7 Day tradelock 1 Day tradelocked Item gets turned into Souvenir --> 1 Day Tradelock I doubt that's intended, @Steam pls fix

  • DrewFlashy1
    Fallout Flashy (@DrewFlashy1) reported

    I was skeptical about @Steam's controller costing an outrageous $100, $30 more than a Nintendo Pro controller. However, I now know you can open it to maybe fix it yourself and if you drop it, it Wilhelm screams. Such humanity is worth it. Our household will have 2.

  • DerpySmoog
    Dracula420 (@DerpySmoog) reported

    @Steam bethesda broke our fallout 4 mods. again. is there any way to tell steam to not update a game ever until i say so and still be able to launch it? please? @bethesda if you are not going to fix bugs in the actual game, stop ******* with the game.

    @Fen0505 @valvesoftware @Steam Prioritize people who bought and played games on their accounts, this with long service badges, and older than 6 months to a year

  • ThorneAbrams
    Thorne (@ThorneAbrams) reported

    @AntiFurVoreGore @valvesoftware @Steam "Fairness" isn't getting special treatment because you've been a user for a long time. It’s everyone having the same 1-unit limit so the scalpers you’re complaining about can’t drain the stock. You’re asking to be part of the problem.

  • kayseeed

    @Feeh_LacerdaS @studiozaum @Steam the specific sentiment was regarding the individuals on the team who were the sole reason the issues came to happen in the first place. don't be obtuse

    @tbsun13 @Moonie__OS @Steam Yeah, and? If I find it funny and even want to pay for that game, what’s the problem? Mind your own business.

    why tf is saints row 2 not working on geforcenow if I already bought the game and i already played it on there @Steam @NVIDIAGFN

  • juliemine_rus
    JuLieMine (@juliemine_rus) reported

    @2_left_thumbs @JohnTit11284680 @Steam i ran into problem of some games not running well because they turned out to be made on unreal engine or unity. i dont have issues with 2D unity games, but a lot of 3D ones run very poorly. i think most other people dislike certain for proper reasons too.

    @itsmja00 @Steam I put in a refund request and they gave me an error lol I’m not even really expecting anything I just don’t morally agree with how they’ve conducted themselves. If the game was still running and being updated I wouldn’t request a refund, and I haven’t opened it in years
