Steam Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
X|1MantisPhoenix (@1mantisphoenix) reported@Masterchiefin21 the problem is that @Steam allows publishers to treat gamers based on where they are from, whereas they should PROMOTE treating ALL GAMERS equally on the steam platform. The very same game above is 1/2 the price because someone lives in China VS South Africa. WTF is the reason for needing more from us Africans?!
-
Abandoned Account 🏴 🇬🇧 (@Abandac123) reported@Dexerto While @Steam's refunding system is the gold standard for consumers, it's not without its issues. There should be additional rules on the length of gameplay. Like, if u reach 1/4 of the game or the 2 hour window. That's fair. @Steam_Support
-
Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam The problem is that you can return any game through steam within 2 weeks and played under 2 hours, and many devs who have made critically acclaimed but very short games have made this same complaint about people beating & returning the game. It's a a problem steam needs to fix
-
Slave to the Caffeine (@SlavetotheCaff1) reported@SmashUltimateB1 @Zoroarts @Steam It's the easiest way to address the problem. I didn't and wouldn't do it but steam isn't going to budge
-
Levi Benoit (@lildeviousdude) reported@Steam @Steam_Support Steam is inaccessible in the profile selection screen without a mouse. Can you guys fix this? I can use spacebar AND enter to select the options bar and even remove the account, but I can’t sign in. Actual L right here
-
Whiteevo6 (@White_Evo6) reported@PlayStation Change the laws so we own digital games, movies and music we purchase If you want a digital future then we own what we buy and can trade it just like a disc and you’re forced to provide this service otherwise you, @XBOX and @Steam can all go to hell
-
Formal Gangster (@FormalgangsterK) reported@PlayApex I can’t buy apex coins for some reason. Steam won’t authorize. You might see if there’s a fix you guys could make with @Steam @Steam_Support I just want to support a game and a couple of companies I love 🫶🏻💙
-
Tappin (@t4ppin) reportedFix your game please add elo rollback for cheater games. The amount of cheaters is disgusting and your killing your game by allowing this to happen. Just played against two blatant hackers and lost -450 cause of it. @valvesoftware @Steam @CounterStrike
-

Maxie 🎮 Bloodstained CotM | Visions of Mana (@maxieaftermdnyt) reported@PlayStation If I wanna play co-op games, I’d rather play on @Steam No need to pay for multiplayer for online co-op. And they have good customer service when it comes to digital purchases, which you DON’T Ya sure can REALLY afford to go discless? #NoDiscNoBuy
-
Virileth (@VirilethDerg) reported@Ain_Macdougal @Zoroarts @Steam You just can't have a refund policy unless it's broken, defective, or not as advertised. Sure people will ***** about no refunds, but that's only because they want to steal. We don't have the kind of high trust society needed to allow for refunds.

-
Zynner (@zynnachin) reported@Shinogi_Trench @BasedBickle @Steam Wow, the game has some glaring issues that it takes playtime to figure out? Because they didn’t adequately playtest it? And I don’t get to speak about it? You are a spiritual slave

James M ✝🇻🇦 🇮🇪 (@Jimmay94) reported@Steam Im more of a fan of being allowed to login to the account I own with my games without being dicked around, too bad steam can't do that it seems
-
🥞 (@pannkisss) reported@martis_off @Steam you need to log out all devices immediately and change ur password, fix steam guard and delete your api key
-
KalicoShade (@MidKnightKurama) reported@jx @ImCadeYT @Steam Take 5 seconds to go to the article, “CEVA received specific delivery-related information from Steam to be able to ship physical hardware to customers in Europe, and told us these are the details the attacker likely took.” So yes it COULD lead to order issues.

Azzys Design Works (@AzzyDesignWorks) reported@ntbrown01 @Steam I have a 2nd gen MS Surface that I want to turn into a portable steam machine. Problem is going to be cracking it open to replace the battery.

-
Gordon G. Hicks Jr. 🔞 (@Gordon_GHIII) reported@Steam if my vanish worked both the Dragon Ball Z fighter games would be the best with a few issues in the 2D where it becomes like an FTK fighter. they blame me for their mechanics.

Cogglesz (@ColinEspMusic) reported@Tardgrde @ImCadeYT @Steam Be careful buddy. Seriously. I noticed with the controllers my reservation was due November 26' So guess what? I've already got it in my hands, a week ago i checked the controller page again to see if my reservation was still active and it literally told me i had 2 days left to buy the thing or i'll lose my (Nov 26') reservation. You'd think, They'd email people who got pushed ahead yeah? No..Not one pop up, not one email telling me the controller was available for purchase. If it wasn't for me wanting to check my status on the controllers store page i'd have lost my reservation and been screwed into 2027. I'm absolutely positive this is happening with the hardware too. I put in a purchase request the same day they announced the steam controllers on the store page (and influencers already had reviews up day 1) So, Not only did i have to spend money prior to when i wanted to? I'm sure there are people who live paycheque to paycheque that can't just spend $100 on a whim. They didn't even notify me with an email or in-steam UI pop ups which they should do for things like this. I really advise everyone checks their hardware orders daily on steam or at least emails about reservations, it's the only way to prevent reservations slipping through our hands because we take a break or are too busy IRL. I've been with valve since 2007 and even bought the V1 controller & Steam Link back in 2015. The quality of service has severely been hampered by Valve selling these things on their own storefront which didn't give me a heads up at all. Be careful!!!!

Cirstu (@Cirstu2) reportedYour servers are having issues NA east at least. @Steam
-
MaximusChaddikus (@MaximusChadikus) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I have a question Steams refund policy has been around how long? And you put this game on steam knowing this why? Sounds like a you problem.
-
Mona Roy (@Mona__Roy) reported@monteslu @Steam_Support @Steam that error sucks
-
AureusCrush (@AureusCrush) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Idk man feels like you could just idk, make a slightly longer/more challenging game and your issue would be resolved.
-
pikachufrankie (@pikachufrankie) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Portal 1 is roughly a little over an hour long, yet has never had this issue. Limbo is only a few hours long, and also never had this issue. You can make short games that people won’t want to refund. If people are mass refunding your game, it’s because it isn’t worth the price.
