  • __silent_ Silent (@__silent_) reported

    A new @Steam and/or @Steamworks issue for the month - Steam doesn't detect I am playing TOCA 2 because it doesn't realize that toca2.exe spawns a child tc2.exe process via WinExec. ShellExecute/CreateProcess work fine. At this point I wish I could just contact someone directly...

  • Marvelm3030 marvelm (@Marvelm3030) reported

    @Steam have a little issue with a card I bought

  • luvskatya taytum (@luvskatya) reported

    @ZoeWills7 @Tomek69206914 @Steam Does he actually help? I have the same problem but my email is fine

  • __silent_ Silent (@__silent_) reported

    @Mondodimotori @Steam @Steamworks Yeah, SimBin attempted to save to the Documents directory if not running as admin on an OS newer than Windows XP, but broke it - that's why on Steam the game runs as admin to work this issue around. I fixed the save instead, so it always saves to the game dir (for compatibility)

  • Tomek69206914 Tomek (@Tomek69206914) reported

    @luvskatya @ZoeWills7 @Steam yeah i have problem with email I dont have acces to him

    @Steam I have problems with my account, I can not solve it for the support, help me please.

  • Arixse1 Ash (@Arixse1) reported

    @ithan871 @playrust @Steam The issue is literally your 2060. The 2000 series cards, as well as the same generation AMD cards (5000 series) had defective silicon, and are very prone to having dead or dying VRAM. Look up "RTX 2060 Space Invaders" It's time to get a new GPU my man

  • james_ochohepo1 James duck (@james_ochohepo1) reported

    @DagocJd @Steam i was 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 #dacktech on instagram he got mine perfectly fixed fast with everything safe

  • PutYourOwnName ¡Christian! 💙🇺🇦💛 (@PutYourOwnName) reported

    @Sinus_Florian @Floridabummer @Steam I’ve looked at this game over the years. My girlfriend and I were interested. But I’ve heard it has lots of bugs and performance issues. Has it gotten any better in recent months or years? Haven’t seen it in a while.

  • ChangTa37080133 55766048 (@ChangTa37080133) reported

    Having second thoughts of returning my GTX 1080 Ti. Reason? It seems the latest 6.2.X versions of hashcat have issues using them. Yet the card can do graphics benchmarks just fine. Now if @Steam let’s me download my 800GB of games faster, I would have made up my mind faster.

  • JoeyESQ Joey Armao (@JoeyESQ) reported

    Know how I knew @2K updated their launcher? I can’t get @CivGame to launch. Again. Instead of play time, I wish @Steam tracked how much time I’ve wasted trying to get the broken launcher to work.

    @woutervddn @Steam @survivetheark Check out the discussions in the Steam Forums. Linux has never been a priority for ARK - generally when it breaks for me it's 2-3 weeks before (maybe) an update to (maybe) fix it. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...I've had mine way too long but you may be able to get a refund

    @Steam Just remember that if anyone scams you its all your own fault. Steam wont help, wont take action against the account that scams you, wont even block the IP of scammers. They empower scammers to abuse you and do nothing to fix the holes in their API! #ValveMustProfit #ScrewUsers

  • BuduKhalifa Khalee want some more🧲 (@BuduKhalifa) reported

    @Youtann_You @Steam I understand how you feel ..I also had the same problem with you but I was referred to @divine_temi who helped me recover my account in less than 30 minutes message him he's definitely going to help you

    @Steam Remove games that require you to spend an hour+ to fix to be able to play.

  • _OrderDisorder OrderDisorder (@_OrderDisorder) reported

    Thank you @Steam for taking my money twice and not even letting me have my game. And also thanks for not letting me file a report to get my money bacm because of some error

  • thebl4ckd0g Chris aka Blackdog (@thebl4ckd0g) reported

    It's honestly really frustrating that almost all of my games that are older than about 10 years on @Steam - that worked in Windows 10 no longer work in Windows 11. Mostly they minimize to the taskbar and won't let me maximize into them. I wish @Microsoft would release a fix.
