Steam Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

    @rodrigo_zarate0 @GMcdoof @Steam It's great, when it works. However, Epic's Services cause lots of matchmaking problems. It's also the host to other issues, like being unable to access another player's profile(rendering the option useless) as well as being unable to have your profile picture as icon in a lobby.

  • QuizzicalSystem Quizzical System(Quiz)📣 (@QuizzicalSystem) reported

    Anyone else have issues with having your @Steam account always give you warnings to change your password?

  • RehabDave David (@RehabDave) reported

    @Respawn @PlayApex I kinda wondered why I couldn't login yet again. Every damn time folks. Is it too much to ask to test the @Steam integration before releasing a patch? Just once? For kicks?

  • uniterhs221 Unity Briggs (@uniterhs221) reported

    @AGravadora @Steam The problem with all this customer support is their no response or automated replies that does not solve anything. When I had similar difficulties with my account I had to reach out to Thecyberhussar on lnstgram for help. Good thing is they did help fix my acct.

  • Darkelru Mitchell Holland (@Darkelru) reported

    @Steam Tried to link my steam account to my elder scrolls account, made it to character creation. Then the system booted me back to login and wasn't able to get passed that as the system kept trying to link my account and that was already done. Nice offer in theory but bad in prac.

    @Steam Careful with Steam, if you buy a game and it doesn't work, they WILL NOT return it, so you are stuck with a broken product. #ScumbagSteam

  • MatthewMFM MFM (@MatthewMFM) reported

    @tct_adventures @Steam @GOGcom I keep getting a "Cannot connect to Photon Cloud" error when trying to start a multiplayer game - any suggestions?

  • gradunza Charlie Roode (@gradunza) reported

    I notified @Steam support in a ticket. Hopefully they can patch the problem, because someone will eventually fry their deck in their case.

  • obliviondoll Oblivion Doll (@obliviondoll) reported

    Still better than @Steam but "refusing to fix known medical problems with your platform, breaking privacy laws and instructing customers to harm themselves" is pretty far from the type of support response you want your service to be compared to.

  • Ezyrile є z я ι ℓ є™✨ (@Ezyrile) reported

    @Steam you need to fix the cloud saving!

  • smugger21 Smugger's Tech & Games (@smugger21) reported

    @RockstarGames do you even care about your game at all or is it just a money grab for you? There are more modders/cheaters in the game than honest players. I think some people have it right, why is @Steam allowing this to continue! FIX YOUR GAME AND STOP THE CHEATING! #GTAV

  • JASEEMXX91 JASEEM MOIDU (@JASEEMXX91) reported

    Call for advice :) I'm running a study in which Ss are playing @mohawkgames Offworld Trading Co. Need to run simultaneously on multiple PCs. Can I do this with @Steam? Is there a good workaround? A way to download directly to the PCs to obviate the one-account issue?

  • RedNomster Red Nomster (@RedNomster) reported

    @XGenStudios @Steam I would've played to completion but every playthrough I get soft-locked in the casino, please fix /s

  • klee_444 ⚡K-lee Anderson-Hedley⚡ (@klee_444) reported

    @CollegeKings @Steam Game is beyond broken, after waiting so long for something that never came (act IV) i am really disappointed for this to be what we receive, get it fixed so it's actually playable.

  • TechLifeMore Nathan (@TechLifeMore) reported

  • bulius 🎵Jerkface🎵 (@bulius) reported

    @gradunza @Steam Did the power thing at least fix the Wi-Fi issue? I can’t wait for mine!

  • BranMalin Bran Malin (@BranMalin) reported

    @NotcherBeeswax @micah_gj Except for @Steam . Steam, alone of all software I have used in the last 5 years, allows me to meaningfully schedule its usage of internet bandwidth for times that actually work, and then manages to cleanly stop and resume when my internet does have issues.

    @manez091 @Steam Try @hytechcyber now to fix your account immediately

    @AmongUsGame @Steam Can you do anything to help me here? This issue is exclusive to the Steam version of Among Us. I've now got a worthless app I paid for I can't use. Please help. I just want to play the game I paid for :(

  • NOONE420057 NO ONE (@NOONE420057) reported

    @CollegeKings @Steam Unfortunately, you didn't deliver on your promise of a continued story. The path builder, is trash. The first two decisions, broken. More bugs than a termite ridden deck. Anyone reading this, DON"T WASTE A DIME ON THIS TRASH.
