-
スペンサー (@Augm3nt3_1) reported@valvesoftware @Steam To those getting the “transaction” error just keep spamming continue, it take a minute or two but it will go though!
-
Taco Man (@TacoMaestro_) reported@ajshpprd @Steam Same here. I even preloaded my steam wallet to try to avoid any issues
-
hombo (@RGB_MIDAS) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Actually the issue usually lies within your launcher and not Steam's. There is absolutely no reason why I need to enter my password every time for *some* games but it works fine for others. There has never been a single day where uPlay/Ubisoft Connect has been good.
-
Undefeated (@NeedtoKnowBassi) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Bad enough they got issue that they can't fix with the console itself.
-
Jeremy Wood (@excitedpixels) reported@Steam @Steam_Support do you have a random shipment generator for orders as it seems you are shipping the steam controllers randomly. I ordered at 57 just before, and my wife's at 18 past because you were broken for her. It's Def not in any kind of order which seems unfair. :(
-
LoppyDaCutie (@DaNamesLily) reported@Steam hey somebody at the steam vr dev team made it so i get a 450 error everytime i press play on steam link on the oculus quest 3S and its pissing me off because im sitting here draining my headsets battery while trying to play vr
-
Julianthethief (@RedeYesHood) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam @UbisoftSupport the source of the problem is ur own goddamn launcher and not steam so don't spread misinformation .
-
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 ****.

RomanInDaRain is Writing... 🇲🇽🇬🇾🇵🇷 (@RomanKingKriz) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam At least steam games drops work, yall twitch drops page been broken for 6 months not a single tweak to it.
-
titan.holo (@TitanHoloCS) reported@nobullet4u @Steam no problem 🙏
-
GoodStuffPuff (@PowPowPony) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Just make it so your games can be played directly through steam and these problems would cease to exist for people, your launcher IS the problem
-
⚡ Luis Montes - @monteslu@fosstodon.org (@monteslu) reported"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." yo, @Steam_Support @Steam Let me get a controller.
-
Red (@redre1ated) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Many will have you believe this was a sort of bug, glitch, accident...I think ive read all sorts of damage control nonsense in the last 36hrs. Sony consoles had DRM. And the only reason WHY they didn't use it fully was due to the backlash of the 2013 Xbox One E3 conference.
-
Camarada Pedreiro de Software ☭ 🇧🇷🌻 (@javadadepressao) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Brazilian players want to buy Valve hardware officially, at a fair price, with proper support. We are not asking for magic. Just a legitimate way to buy the product without gambling with bureaucracy and warranty issues.
-
яυѕтуρωη (@Rusty_PWN) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your game, not their, and it's your launcher causing the problem. Nobody likes you and the reason is this kind of bullshit on top of your dogshit code
-
iDrinkBourbon (@Disco_Drew523) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That happened to me too. You have spam that check out button eventually it loaded correctly and went to next step. At the end of the day it was broken. Also I noticed controller went live 3 min before 1PM EST. Maybe that’s what broke it
-
R Daneel Olivaw (@thelinemain) reported@MCDEEZFN @Half_Life_III @Steam No third-party controller will work on Xbox without a paid license, and even then, it will only work via cable. Xinput is the issue for Windows PCs, but it can be used with an Xinput emulator, just like any other third-party controller such as the DualSense.
-
PoLiiQa (@PoLiiQas) reported@rvmpvq3 @CantAiim @Steam the problem is, you shouldn't NEED to use these workarounds considering that the games are still 20 dollars on sale
-
Dana percefull (@DanapStevep) reported@CaptHardii33600 @Steam @Steam_Support Report your issue to EliXyber here on X
-
Snow (@Snowmobile2004) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It’s not broken, you just had to keep clicking. Worked for me on the 10th try. They were basically being ddosed so this is to be expected
-
Joenziii ☦︎ (@Joenziii) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Listen I had the same issue but if your gonna complain don’t use ai to ******* do it
-
Clemson Cuz (@ClemsonCuz) reported**** @Steam and their broken website.
-
kayseed (@kayseeed) reported@Feeh_LacerdaS @studiozaum @Steam the specific sentiment was regarding the individuals on the team who were the sole reason the issues came to happen in the first place. don't be obtuse
-
Ignyte (@DJignyte) reported@Steam @discord @Windows The CLOSEST thing I got to it working the way I want, is by launching steam or discord via powershell. Which half works (does for Discord). But I launch steam by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Friends' so the friends list appears. Which the powershell thing doesnt fix.
-
Calculated (@CalculatedNtry) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your ****** launcher that's the problem
-
Cosmodiver (@Cosmodiver) reported@CharlieFlufboi @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah, looks like even people trying to buy it on Steam are running into errors and can’t purchase it lol
-
Thorne (@ThorneAbrams) reported@AntiFurVoreGore @valvesoftware @Steam "Fairness" isn't getting special treatment because you've been a user for a long time. It’s everyone having the same 1-unit limit so the scalpers you’re complaining about can’t drain the stock. You’re asking to be part of the problem.

Evilyn G Havisham (@EvilynHavisham) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY CONTROLLER TO ARRIVE BROKEN IN THE MAIL!
