    @eavnoui @Steam @Steam_Support I can help you fix it

  • Kidult66255488 Kidult (@Kidult66255488) reported

    @SteamDeckHQ @EA @Steam Yeah, so it switches to ‘playing’ then hangs without booting anything before closing automatically. Like it can’t initialise the game. After installing it in desktop mode I’ve had no issues until today. Frustrating as it’s one hell of a trilogy!

  • mmomtchev Momtchil Momtchev (@mmomtchev) reported

    @Hetzner_Online and @Steam are currently realizing the problem with helping a crime organized because of a penis-size problem - the fact that you don't get anything out of it is only 1% of the problem

  • RealMarcFoxx Marc Foxx (@RealMarcFoxx) reported

    How long until Steam implements a monthly game subscription service? For better or worse, subscription models seem to be the future for digital content. @Steam

  • KAY1WON_MAYANI KAYCEETY⛓️ (@KAY1WON_MAYANI) reported

    @FriendInTheFire @Steam My account got hacked and support service aren't doing anything about it. Someone recommend me to @10ectoolz and they successfully recovered my account. Good luck message him

  • DyIharr 𝔡𝔶𝔩𝔞𝔫 🥀🎸 (@DyIharr) reported

  • redzzza Tetangga Sebelah (@redzzza) reported

    @Steam just fix or upgrade your server, please...

  • vvsor_ru Viacheslav Sorokov (@vvsor_ru) reported

    @Steam - the most disrespectful customer service I have ever encountered: incredibly long responses, not reading my messages and, worst of all, probably doing it on purpose.

  • DBoneJ1 wen weaver stan account (@DBoneJ1) reported

    @_bigmook2 @Steam you gotta get the steam deck, i haven’t had any issues w/ downloading on it

  • A_Islamovic Abdul(lah) Исламовић (@A_Islamovic) reported

    @Steam you guys have to do a better job than just sending automated responses for refunds. AoE4 is broken. I've been working with support for over 2 weeks without a resolution.

  • Morganborn3 Morgan born (@Morganborn3) reported

    @DyIharr @Steam I can only recommend you to #Adamstech50 on Instagram who was able to help me get mine fixed, wow that guy is extremely a professional in this he fixed mine within some minutes am sure he will help you fix yours too,be careful when contacting anyone apart from him

  • ads_brustad85 Adam Brustad (@ads_brustad85) reported

    @CallistoTheGame My game won’t even boot up after the patch. Crashed with an Unreal error. @Steam how do I get a refund? This game hasn’t worked since launch.

  • DeltaRayquaza4 Alex Axew (@DeltaRayquaza4) reported

  • CodeGlassy TheHugZ_ (@CodeGlassy) reported

    @WisdomAegis @CallistoTheGame @Steam karen alert! dont know what you expect since its only been out for not even a day there is so much other developers who released games that are buggier than this like cyberpunk and they still have yet to fix there game but atleast callisto is actually fixing stuff.

  • ALIANZGBL ALIANZ (@ALIANZGBL) reported

    Do not get The Callisto Protocol on PC until they fix it. Luckily, @Steam is amazing and processed by refund within the hour of requesting it. Such a bummer. At least I'll get to play it on PS5.

  • MorenoArtist MorenoArtist -COMMISIONS OPEN- (@MorenoArtist) reported

  • F1fanNover NoverF1fan (@F1fanNover) reported

    @Steam how come I'm the one to get a ban from your forums? I told y’all that this was an issue and now that it’s come to ahead, I get the ban? How is that ok?

  • UnityOfPeace Ade (@UnityOfPeace) reported

    @Steam They need to fix the high CPU usage with the new patch temperatures are way too high

  • freadoom666 Freadoom666🇺🇦 (@freadoom666) reported

    hey, @CallistoTheGame, why on the @Steam version with the connected #DualSence controller, all buttons in the game just show as #XBox controller connected. Not available in PSStore and not supported DualSence? how do I need to play with that issue?

  • ReclinerG Recliner Gaming (@ReclinerG) reported

    @Steam @CallofDuty I’ve played one match of Warzone 2.0 and steam has disconnected twice. Love the game! Just hope these problems can be fixed soon! My console friends havnt hardly had any problems!

  • DeltaRayquaza4 Alex Axew (@DeltaRayquaza4) reported

    @eavnoui @Steam @Steam_Support I had same issues with my account also. It’s quite surprising support system doesn’t work Luckily for me CLOUDMAN_TECH on Instagram helped me, Send him a message he’ll help you.

  • NomadCanid Bryce (@NomadCanid) reported

    @Lucas_Zerong @iimZeon @Steam I skipped V but I heard the same thing happened there, they made it good and then stopped making content for it lmao it def has issues but 2042 is really fun, hope they stick with it, but I'm doubtful if the playerbase doesn't pick back up

  • MVman21 MMVman21 (@MVman21) reported

    @Steam I have had enough of that digital equivalent of **** of a game, to many bugs cheaters and broken balance.
