  • harmfuleffect Ray Capetillo #StandWithUkraine (@harmfuleffect) reported

    @b_rad3005 @Steam Had a similar issue. I have multiple steam libraries and one of them got uninstalled. Went to libraries, re-added it, and games came back as installed.

  • Hakumen08 Hakumen08 (@Hakumen08) reported

    @Steam go **** yourself and your ******* dumb as hell look out bullshit. too many failed login on this network? you guys ******* know my ip you know if its my ******* pc. why ******** do this ****. you ******* **** heads

  • ManuelGPz12 Manuel Garcia Perez (@ManuelGPz12) reported

    @Steam @SNKPofficial A kind of a SNK rollback service similar to @Fightcade (not saying that is how Fightcade works)that hopefully could be updated and improved independently from the games that host so all the game's netcode updates all at once If feasible that might reduce netcode improvement costs

  • Richard42731979 Sargenbob (@Richard42731979) reported

    @Steam after playing tf2 my screen is still stuck in its pixelated format even after restarting, what can I do to fix the problem?

  • guy_familiar Familiar guy (@guy_familiar) reported

    @SpaceBunkerz @Steam Yep argument lost get outta here and learn to fix your problems. Something this basic should have been taught by your parents but sadly they didn't

  • OrphicNinja OrphicNinja (@OrphicNinja) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support My steam account has been hacked and I cannot submit a ticket through the support site as it errors when I try to reset my password or email and I can't login. I can prove ownership and have screenshots of how the hack/scam happened. What can i do?

  • msammar882 Nilufer Denizer (@msammar882) reported

    @TimTamWolf @Steam Sometime I wonder what is the use of support system when they don’t give validated solutions to problem on their network. After no response from the team for 4 months I was referred to @zems_ins and they immediately help me restore order to my account

  • Kheryn_ Kheryn (@Kheryn_) reported

    @Steam Is there any way to message support directly, my problem isn't in any of the FAQs

  • seeja555 سبحان الله (@seeja555) reported

    @CampfireJax21 @Steam Contact @kawasandistro now to fix your account immediately

  • SpaceBunkerz Bulmas Side Piece (@SpaceBunkerz) reported

    @guy_familiar @Steam Then explain how I installed the same game on epic launcher and it didn’t give me the same issue steam did? Explain why people in this same thread are having the same issues with way better ssd’s then you and I? I’ll wait

  • guy_familiar Familiar guy (@guy_familiar) reported

    @SpaceBunkerz @Steam You're the only stupid donkey over here. Still can't accept the fact that not every small issue is steam related. Most of the time it's just you who is poor and can't afford nice stuff

  • monteiro_nerd Júlio Monteiro - Nerd Pai (@monteiro_nerd) reported

    Anyway, all my history with @Bungie was useless for almost 5 years without any problem, using Destiny as part of the daily routine, now I'm bullied in the @Steam comments because I have a 37-day ban from Destiny (only ban on my entire gaming life).

    @Steam HOW TO SOLVE THE RECAPTCHA PROBLEM?

  • CelticUchuu Craig M. (@CelticUchuu) reported

    @quill18 @Salvaged_MadCat I think that has more to do with the game engine the devs went with. I've had several games that require 1-3GB downloads even for small patches. MSFS certainly has massive downloads. Would prefer them on @Steam servers so I don't have to login to the game to update.

  • pinkeslime pinke slime (1/100 centipede legs) (@pinkeslime) reported

    why do i have a $32 charge from @Steam for cult of the lamb if there's an issue with my purchase & i can't download it off my account and play :(

  • wugeball Jack Melillo (@wugeball) reported

    @Steam why doesn’t the menu for creating an account work properly? We’ve tried verifying that we’re human 26 times (I repeat: 26 times) and there’s a problem with captcha, even as it verifies that we’re not robots. What is going on?!?!?!?!?!?

  • TimTamWolf Timbrewolf (@TimTamWolf) reported

    Forgot my password and made too many login attempts to @Steam days ago, getting locked out. I'm still locked out today. Even with the correct password. I try to go to support to ask for help but I need to login. Which it wont let me because too many attempts. Brilliant.

  • HlYl5m 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡 (@HlYl5m) reported

    @RageUseAimbot @Steam Just came across your tweet. I suggest you an alternative. It must be frustrating missing a lot of memories because you got hacked unknowingly. I had the same problem but my account was retrieved by ```gilestoolx``` on IG and my database was intact too. Thought this would help

  • mrravagen MrRavagen (@mrravagen) reported

    @Steam Funny. Even if I wanted this game, I can't buy it. PayPal & Visa methods are broken and dont work when I try to buy 1 game for a friend.

  • moonsara418 mohamedali (@moonsara418) reported

    @TimTamWolf @Steam Good thing I didn’t wait for the customer support as they were unresponsive for my account to be fixed, I was referred to @zems_ins by a friend and they were able to resolve the problem.

    @SpaceBunkerz @Steam Dude I don't give a crap what other ppl are having issues with. If I have a problem I deal with it on my own rather than crying like a donkey in social media. Grow the fk up and find a solution to your problems. Unless you're too stupid to do that then it's fine

  • TopazBlaze Topaz🎮 (@TopazBlaze) reported

    @Steam if you see this tweet my dms are open so let's talk this out and I'll explain my problem lol I'm desperate

    @SMPL64 @Steam I suggest you go check out #tech.hackpro on instagram he’s in the place to get this done, I had similar issues with my account when I tried laying complain to the support team they didn’t reply or give me feedback not until a friend here got me recommended to #tech.hackpro,

  • ManuelGPz12 Manuel Garcia Perez (@ManuelGPz12) reported

    @Steam @SNKPofficial Now SNK with rollback support for several games would be worth conisdering if a unified rollback solution is something feasible A SNK rollback and matchmaking service where all SNK games connect and share the same rollback and matchmaking improvements & updates at the same time.

  • TeamMysticMA Team Mystic MA (@TeamMysticMA) reported

    @CampfireJax21 @Steam I suggest you reach out to @Martin_Sol_tech on twitter for recovery of any issue on your account, hacked, banned or any issue ✅

  • SpaceBunkerz Bulmas Side Piece (@SpaceBunkerz) reported

    @guy_familiar @Steam Guarantee my pc is 10x better than whatever you have and we already confirmed it’s a steam issue not a hardware issue my guy lmao

  • SuBOURBONtales SuBOURBON Tales (@SuBOURBONtales) reported

    @bryanboling @Steam Steam is probably the most popular and legitimate gaming purchase platform. I’d be willing to bet the problem is more related to macs not being designed for gaming (even though it says you meet specs).
