Steam Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SnaggsPanda Snaggs (@SnaggsPanda) reported

    Apparently, @Steam believes it is totally ok to sell customers a faulty product (DMCA issues) and not only fail to automatically offer refunds on take-down but deny refunds to anyone who waits a while in good faith to see if the take-down was an error/temporary problem.

  • 84_175 Andreas Lenz (@84_175) reported

    I've been trying to buy a game on @steam for two days now. Apparently they don't want my money. The checkout keeps failing with an "unexpected error". That's apparently what you get for not supporting the one tried and true payment method *everyone* uses in Germany.

    @Steam China Mainland How to solve error code 118

  • addison_ann Dude, Mom (@addison_ann) reported

    Third time this month the Boy bought a @Steam card (one was a gift) and it was worthless. Getting pretty damned sick of my kid spending his gift money and @Steam stealing from my child. Save your "we're sorry" horseshit @Steam you thieving *****. Fix your product. Also,eat ****.

    Is anyone else having issues with @Steam gift cards? Went to apply the funds of a card to my account around 10:30am and it wouldn’t work, so I tried again around 6:45pm and it still isn’t working? It hasn’t been used, and the code was just revealed this morning.

    @SteamSupport10 @SteamSupport9 @Steam I ran into a hacker in Black Ops 3 Multiplayer today. When I went to go report him on the Steam Client, nothing popped up but a box with a loading circle. I did some poking around and noticed others were having similar issues since 2019.

    @Steam Hi guys, I've been trying to reach you on your support form for several days, but no reply. My email server no longer exists. Can you check my request to login to my account? HT-TKY6-FFYN-KGXT Thanks so much!

  • officialvenlord 50fifty (@officialvenlord) reported

    @GameeHoo @Steam You’ve got to be careful who you contact for help cause not everyone mentioned in the comments section is actually out to help. If you’re having any trouble with your account and you need help i can only suggest you reach out @utopiantechh, that’s the only person I’m sure of

    @Steam_Support I've been trying to play The Witcher for 2 days now and @Steam "fails" to request a product key. Impossible to report this issue on the @Steam_Support site since they blame all technical issues on the game manufacturer... FIX IT!

  • wawawasimo wawawasimo (@wawawasimo) reported

    @Steam .... then play an Epic game instead? If @Steam is so bad, and you already got it for free on Epic then what's the problem here? Or do you want some cool achievements and badges too and not pay a thing?

  • Namaslays Jewel (@Namaslays) reported

    @Gaiscioch @playnewworld @Steam I think the issue is more so not with HOW many total are playing but how many servers are suffering with under 1000 people playing per. Most under 500 playing per. Once they can figure out better merges and higher caps it will be in a better place.
