    @Florianrival @OnDeck @Steam Oh then that's more complicated. I've always used PayPal without issues.

  • Petersoneth23 Peterson (@Petersoneth23) reported

    @i6vnti @Steam That's quite unfortunate, had similar issues, spoke to the customer care but nothing happened until I was referred to @khalid_cybertech on Instagram who helped me out

  • Fropsfn Frops (@Fropsfn) reported

    @Steam Steam ur platform sucks, Fix it.

  • Florianrival Florian Rival (@Florianrival) reported

    @MarcosCodas @OnDeck @Steam Yeah it's really weird. Like it's not like I'm trying to get it delivered to another country or pay with an usual payment method. I'm getting an error with absolutely everything, from any computer and any location! I just can't pay 🥲

  • Alkebulan1991 Alkebu-lan (@Alkebulan1991) reported

    @Steam Can't perform any security actions, can't confirm trade, can't confirm market listings. It says "There was a problem performing that action. Please try your request again later." when I try to confirm from the authenticator. Please fix thanks.

  • LoveGalGadot69 MyYouthIsOver (@LoveGalGadot69) reported

  • LoboStylez Lobo (@LoboStylez) reported

    @Shadowhaxor @iFixit @Steam I played Doom and Darksiders Genesis so far. The fan still pumps and does what it needs to do, but that whine I also had is gone. Fans look identical, but the newer one from iFixIt does have a higher revision number that fixed the whine problem I assume. Happy with the upgrade!

  • Christo37592815 Christopher Chown (@Christo37592815) reported

    @Steam Hello. I have a problem with purchasing my Steam Deck. I got the email telling me I could make my purchase after applying, but now it’s stuck on the Review + Purchase screen. I hit purchase but it’s just stuck on ‘Working’ and has been for some time. Thanks.

    Hi @Steam! I patiently waited for one year for the #SteamDeck, but I moved country in the meanwhile! I have one day left for the purchase and #Steam is having issues with the initializing / updating transaction. Support won't reply, where can I get some help?

  • popgrrrtart Popgrrrtart (@popgrrrtart) reported

    @Steam why isn't there an option to chat with someone? My son had some issues with his account and it's locked. We sent a form proving our ownership of the account and have not heard anything yet.

  • rocinantefool Rocinante Fool (@rocinantefool) reported

    @Dr_Decon_Bel @EpicGamesPub @Steam This is because of DirectX 12, Gearbox doesn’t know how to code properly and will never fix it. Downgrade to DX11 in settings.

    @cs_luminou_ @Steam @CitiesSkylines Bro, my account was also stolen. I locked it an hour late! I haven't replied to steam customer service so far. It's too slow. It feels terrible. The account needs to be blocked by VAC and blocked.

  • L0rdMagnus L0rd Magnus & Pals (@L0rdMagnus) reported from Groesbeck, Ohio

    Shoutout to @Steam customer service for allowing me to get my @OnDeck when I missed my email. Y’all a real one.
