virhillyo (@virhillyo) reported@Steam @Steam_Support @OnDeck hey valve, I was wondering if someone can help me with an issue I have with my Steam Deck? My deck won’t go into sleep mode if I press the power button and I have to do it through the steam button which is a bit tedious. Would appreciate any help :)

John Kennedy Peterson (@skyshark88) reported@Steam What is the major malfunction with your system? I’ve had to create new account. Try to sign into the old one give reset Passwords. What a ******* nightmare and still can’t sign in what what’s wrong with your system? Same thing happened to my nephew. What’s wrong with your system?
-
Wyrd (@I_am_Wyrd) reported@Steam I'm not sure what the issue is, but in South Africa @Steam browser barely loads. I have done all the trouble shooting, nothing fixes it. Looking to buy a game? Can't. Nothing loads. This problem has been persistent for over a year. Please fix!
-
AzureCrux (@AzureCrux) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Payment processors have rate limits, chief. Too many people wanted controllers at once. Every platform exclusive has this problem, it's frustrating as heck.
-
135.x (@135dotx) reported@Pirat_Nation Don't care. Microslop had years➕ to fix @Windows & are only doing it now bc losing ppl to Linux & @Steam. These companies will never learn – I hope gamers finally do. Money is voting power & I haven't spent any since "Xbox One (won)".
-
Kurt (@JONEZZEEonMMA) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Yes, Steam generally wants you to sign in periodically to verify your account credentials, maintain security, and update license information.
-
Stephen McHugh (@longshotmagoo) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I knew the controller would sell out fairly quick like but 30 mins is insane haha. Valves biggest problem is filling demand, that's a great problem lol
-
ComicalRock (@comicalrock) reported@The_FrostySinZ @UbisoftSupport @Steam As they say, piracy is a service issue, in this new age of lack of real ownership, bad launchers, bad products, DRM ruining performance and etc., it is no wonder piracy is on the rise again. I don't do it myself, but I get it, they need to earn our money and trust again.
-
Hellothere (@Injuryyuy) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Yeah I'm not happy with Valve right now. I was there right on time. Every time I tried to push payment through the page gave a weird error. Next thing you know I check and it's sold out. They need to figure some sort of system out to fight off the bots to make it more fair.
-
unknown (@oggyglu) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam The only problem is your trash launcher.
-
Adam Orand (@King_INF3RN0) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Only took 50 minutes of spamming the continue button. Maybe some launch-day payment processing server allocation? Monday at noon pacific is a low time for gaming, might as well, right? Gonna need to fix this for the Machine and Frame...
-
Calculated (@CalculatedNtry) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your ****** launcher that's the problem
-
Glorious Kev (@GloriousKev) reported@itsunforgiven @valvesoftware @Steam couldn't get one? skill issue
-
olafkswg - Buying Skins 95% (@olafkswg) reportedIs this a planned change with no announcement or a bug? Broken trade history suggests the other, @Steam support can't answer this question.
-
justinseans (@justinseans) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck "That’s not demand, that’s a broken purchase system." Shut up Grok
-
Lucoa's Husbano (@Lucoa_Star65) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Here's an easy solution: Delete your ****** DRM Launcher from existence. That will solve the problem.
-
Yorks (@yorksoriginal) reported@SleepingFumo @Steam Glad someone understands the pain. It's gotten way worse lately too; always had issues but would maybe get 2x the actual playtime logged, annoying, but not the end of the world, but now I'm two hours into Higurashi and somehow already have over 200 hours logged!!!
-
ComicBorgs🦾🤖🤳 (@ComicBorgs) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam That **** never happens. If there's an issue with your game not launching it's probably the game not being compatible with your setup as in the OS/Hardware/Drivers or you moded **** of the game files. Your stupid launcher on even a super computer lags like ****.

Cameron (@DESIREUwU21) reported@lotfgame @Steam I have an issue where the host dies in a co op and it crashes their game and they have to reset every time

PoLy. (@TheRealDarkSole) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This is a problem Ubisoft created. Not Steams fault.
-
cofffin (@HWMreb) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Fine for me. User error.
-
Johnny Costello (@johnnyluvschu) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam I fully intended to get GTA 6 ok PS but with this I’d rather wait until it come out on PC. Not even a PS issue but the inconvenience and mental load of having to open my PS If I’m playing on PC, it’s not much, just more effort than I’m willing to give.
-

Sarge 🔞 (@hiddensarge) reported@cooliocool7997 @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah it's really pricey for us. However I do prefer this at that pricepoint than my current xbox one controlller that got a tons of issues (one been they sometike forget they are linked to my pc, or refuse to close down while holding down the xbox logo buttons

Undefeated (@NeedtoKnowBassi) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Bad enough they got issue that they can't fix with the console itself.

Fredinator (@Fredinator85) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This is bullshit and you know it. It is your broken launcher failing. Get rid of uplay. Nobody uses it anyway unless they are forced to
