    Hey @SeaOfThieves @XboxSupport @Steam yall should fix the issues with your games and their connectivity at some point. I bought SoT a long time ago, reinstalled multiple times and cleared all caches, relinked XBL accounts and STILL can't play your game through Steam.

    @Steam Bought a game from you guys two days ago . Bugs showed up after 3 hours of play. No fix possibleS No refund because I broke the 2 hour play policy. I’ll just buy straight from the developers next time in stead. #theft

    @Steam fix your in game overlay's button recognition. It closes on me every time i try to capitalize anything. It claims it only opens/closes on shift+tab but every other time I press shift while typing it closes the overlay.

  • RedPacketSec RedPacket Security (@RedPacketSec) reported

    @warnerbros what's up with the crappy game save issue with #HarryPotter #Legacy ? @Steam won't allow manual saves at all, seems might be related to cloud saves.

  • TheFrostyPuma TheFrostyPuma (@TheFrostyPuma) reported

    @Steam How about you fix your downloader so it doesn't take an hour to do a 300mb update.

  • TheFrostyPuma TheFrostyPuma (@TheFrostyPuma) reported

    @Steam Can you guys fix your stupid downloads. 1 hour for 300mb is ridiculous

  • DnumaSgt mymomleftdadimsad (@DnumaSgt) reported

  • Elle_scott7692 Elle (@Elle_scott7692) reported

    @Courtne71210762 @CallofDuty @Steam If this still persists I'd recommend contacting #gregtech001 on Instagram He helped me fix something quite similar a couple of weeks ago And he should be able to help you out

  • Jimmy092003 Jimmy (@Jimmy092003) reported

    @hodl2021 @Steam i really fed up when i had similar issues, support system did not even consider my complains i wrote them so many time but no response. i was recommended to #hizafixx on instagram he got mine perfectly fixed fast with everything safe

  • _ReadyCoffee ReadyCoffee (@_ReadyCoffee) reported

    @Steam Thank you. I was an idiot today and fell for a scam and had my account taken over. You guys got it back fast with no problems, nothing missing and no other accounts linked to the email or account touched. Thank you for helping my dumbass.

  • Tuns2G Tuns (@Tuns2G) reported

    @WBGamesSupport why is the @Steam update won’t finish? Keeps stopping at like 10% and I can’t play my game? Any ideas? Steams issue or yours?

  • eltomas87 Tom Shaw (@eltomas87) reported

    @Steam anyone help me out?? My steam account seems to have deleted all of my FM games!! Don't know what's happened or how to fix it!

  • navybratz96 XxAngelsWingxX (@navybratz96) reported

    @ellceetalksalot @HogwartsLegacy @Steam Same, iv been attempting to get more people posting so the company actually sees that there are still issues. Been using #fixHogwartsLegacy

  • Jerem_Psb 안녕 (@Jerem_Psb) reported

    @ByGlace_3D @AvalancheWB @Steam Is your Game installed on a HDD ? I have a 3090 and I had these issue when I had the game on my HDD, moved it to a NVMe SSD and no issue at all after that.

  • ellceetalksalot Doudou🇹🇹 (@ellceetalksalot) reported

    @navybratz96 @HogwartsLegacy @Steam I can’t even get passed the seizure warning. Game crashes with zero error message. How was it even released knowing it was broken? I want a refund

  • ToryMcArthur Lord of Mush (@ToryMcArthur) reported

    This is the most viewed EVER Single player game in @Twitch Killing it on @Steam and that was before it came out. I understand not agreeing with a person but bullying make you the bad guy. an eye for an eye won't fix this. and the hate for the game is not hurting it.

  • benedeikuto ベネデイクト🇩🇪 (@benedeikuto) reported

    I just got a refund for #HogwartsLegacy. Thank you @Steam ! I will think about buying the game again once the performance issues are being worked on.. I really enjoyed the game - or rather - the story and mechanics..., but those FPS drops are just unbearable for me.

  • XureilaYT Reila 💋 (@XureilaYT) reported

    Of course when I want to play I keep getting an "update error" @HogwartsLegacy #HogwartLegacy #steam @Steam

  • ClaretLiamUTC liam UTC (@ClaretLiamUTC) reported

    Are @Steam servers down?
