Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Tikuros89 Adam Simon (@Tikuros89) reported

    A question for @Steam and @valvesoftware: Why is there no option for Steam downloads and updates to first download the data and then install it? My internet is faster than my drive and this constant stop and go because of the bottle neck causes issues with the file integrity...

  • subiectiv Alex (@subiectiv) reported

    So, I tried CrossOver from @CodeWeavers with @Steam on my Mac, it was a total fail, got some "Polygon crash" error after error. I'll now try installing Steam via Parallels, fingers crossed.

  • diddle783 Diddeke (diddle783) (@diddle783) reported

    @Steam i really hope you can fix the error with cloud sync..having issues with it for a couple of days already..its getting annoying to restart steam or pc all the time

  • saenz_colton Fatherc0lt aka Colt Saenz (@saenz_colton) reported

    @Steam have yall ever considered optimizing your service to do this really cool thing called work? Its really cool.

  • balta1701 Balta (@balta1701) reported

    @Steam I am trying to register with your website as a new signup and am having a technical issue. No matter what I do, it says I have not completed the captcha required to register a new account. As a consequence I can’t access your normal help system. What do I do?

  • diddle783 Diddeke (diddle783) (@diddle783) reported

    @Steam Not gonna buy anythibg till steam fixx the server..getting nuts off the cloud errors after a week

  • bebrws bebrws (@bebrws) reported

    @Steam security must be a dumpster fire. I setup their best practice 2fa option(mobile app) and they just disabled it, let someone login to my account, change my password and email. This is far from the first time this same person has done this too. What a jk

  • random_niko Okashi Yukisaki 🤍 (@random_niko) reported

  • XOset Tickle Me Elvis (@XOset) reported

    @lVloLLyy @VerizonSupport @Steam left my home but it was yeah. they just tweeted it was a known issue for multiple users.

  • CosmosNihil Cosmos (@CosmosNihil) reported

    @leydong2134 @Steam It's only with steam that I have this problem and it happens too often I'm not going to be told that they don't have enough money to make a quality downloade system..

  • lVloLLyy mike (@lVloLLyy) reported

    @cdog158 @SteamStatus @Steam i been trying to play pubg all day lol but i’m having the same issue since i’ve been on

  • HYPERSTRANGE HYPERSTRANGE🇺🇦 | Blood West out on Steam! (@HYPERSTRANGE) reported

    @DottorHealer @Steam Good thing Polygon stayed the f away from it then, eh? Generally, you'd be right. But you know what they say about a broken clock. That it's busted. Try the game.

  • eeicy çay (@eeicy) reported

    @CapcomUSA_ @Steam guys pls fix re4 guys i bought it but all I see is a black screen n I only hear the audio guys pls fix I'm begging

  • cheyneos Cheyne (@cheyneos) reported

    @uselessfame @Steam short answer, its a phishing link or a scam trying to get your account. Steam or any other service are not going to message you through a random account and tell you you're getting banned?? You would get an official email from steam support...

  • stephen_ideas Stephen Rodriguez (@stephen_ideas) reported

    @SteamStatus @Steam guess I'm in the 1% cus I cannot BUY anything from the store I keep getting an error communicating with steam servers message. Or it's not actually up.

  • skygamer69 jojobest (Deidara) (@skygamer69) reported

    @DominaGame @NotSaige @Steam Did I try something illegal? No because I’m well aware that if I did I would be kicked out lots of other people have tried and got kicked out or were denied service how do you expect to talk to the girl when you can’t even get let into the building?

  • TTLCasts TimeToLight (@TTLCasts) reported

    .@PUBG_Support @valvesoftware @Steam I having issue, PUBG keeps saying corrupt download, tried logging in & out, uninstalling & reinstalling, taking over Antarctica, the works. nothing working plz help <3

  • badboy_da_killa badboy (@badboy_da_killa) reported

    Hey @fromsoftware_pr I was updating @ELDENRING on @Steam but right before it finishes, it says the content file locked. I've tried everything that I read on how to fix the problem on internet but nothing worked. My account on steam is badboy-da-killer. Is there a way to fix it?

  • DominaGame DOMINA (@DominaGame) reported

    @NotSaige @Steam Perhaps something is broken with twitter?

  • saenz_colton Fatherc0lt aka Colt Saenz (@saenz_colton) reported

    @Steam ive now been trying to download an update for 3 hours now and your service has managed to freeze the entirety of it. In the 3 hours its managed to download 1.6 gigs. My internet download speed is 1 gbps. Explain.

  • junkedjunkie Eternal Mind Soup (@junkedjunkie) reported

    @EA your app is so lame, if only @steam wasn't lagging in Ukraine, I wouldn't ever use your apps. Somebody took my nickname and I can't use it because you aint allowing same nicknames in the game. That's BS.

  • Dyslogix ĐɎ₴ⱠØ₲łӾ (@Dyslogix) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support Every time i close my steam down, i'm having to constantly sign in? With Steamguard on that's irritating as hell, any idea why it would be doing that? cheers.

  • RoyBamboozle Roy (@RoyBamboozle) reported

    @jackkmuggo @Steam I've tried so much to fix it :/ no luck

  • MattOliver18 Matt Oliver (@MattOliver18) reported

    @Steam Ignore the haters in here. Sure it has it's issues but it is still worth a go. But then people like to hate don't they.

  • AdamLeyton Adam Leyton (@AdamLeyton) reported

    @balta1701 @Steam I'm having the same issue. Quite frustrating!

  • x_yorkie xYorkie (@x_yorkie) reported

    It's appears that @Steam isn't letting me make a purchase with Paypal. Whenever I click the Paypal option and click continue it says there is an error... Anyone else having this issue/ know of the issue? #steamsupport
