  • ZacharyHazelwo1 Zachary Hazelwood (@ZacharyHazelwo1) reported

    @Steam If special k can fix FF XV the steam versions performance mostly, that means you guys honestly need to do something similar to fix the game on your end, and ALSO FF XIII. It stutters on a 5950X and I know what im doing. The RPCS3 versions significantly faster.

  • therealFAR3 (@therealFAR3) reported

    @Steam Well looking at all the problems people are having below I'm glad I'm not psyched for this, save my money

  • ZombieOfun Alexander Scorza (@ZombieOfun) reported

    @calebvw @Steam Same here. I had errors for 2 straight hours despite being there at 10am PDT. This is a load of barnacles

  • dbgSynergism Mothtasia's mentally-unstable Moth Dust **** -🌺🐚 (@dbgSynergism) reported

    I think the most bullshit part of my situation is i paid all my spending money on music and NONE of it is playable, I got scammed by @Steam and have the bank records to prove it as a fraud case if they don't fix it

  • Draesk Performative Normality (@Draesk) reported

    @film_girl @Steam I have 3k titles on Steam and I don't see this being an issue warranting anger? Folk aren't owed a reservation, and this has no negative impact on our existing libraries... Valve haven't done us *****. It's a booking system getting overloaded, which is hardly unique to Steam.

  • TaylorMgaming Spencer Taylor (TaylorMadeGaming) (@TaylorMgaming) reported

    @Philltering @Steam @FootballManager Yeah I normally save mine local but after losing a 10 season save last year i saved locally i moved over to the cloud. If you had an issue with synching yesterday then im guessing thats whats done it

  • Emjay_86 Emjay86 (@Emjay_86) reported

    @CompanyOfHeroes @Steam Already done, although there's a bug that is currently preventing me from pre-ordering it for some reason... hopefully you are working on a fix?

  • SATTY094 Sean Buckley (@SATTY094) reported

    @thexpaw @Steam @aldenkroll plz fix 🙏

  • littlemorte Paulette (@littlemorte) reported

    @PetePugger @Steam Yeah, just sucks that my purchase for the first batch had an error and I had to repurchase for a later date

  • Injimaru ♏T'Challa D. Senju of House Stark,The Saiyan King♏ (@Injimaru) reported

    @CuddlePotato @Steam I mean, that sounds like a you problem

  • C_Austin_Cox Austin Cox (@C_Austin_Cox) reported

    @JohnSheafferSr @Steam @TheAtari_VCS This tweet makes me concerned there's "a lot of💩" when I was just about to go pick one up. Now I'm going to hold off. Hold no ideas there were problems getting Steam on the VCS. But if others have problems, this makes me wonder if I would too. Probably best to hold off then.

  • dcracy3 AndrewB (Elsie) (@dcracy3) reported

    @Barnacules @Steam Trouble is as with other hardware, they have a track record of dropping it very quickly.

  • BlueRoseMark MadMan (@BlueRoseMark) reported

    @Steam please help me. They changed my email and password to the account...I know I was stupid and I know that it was moronic but please, i bet my whole life on that account, everything i have is on it...im broke and im broken, i'm even contemplating a bad thing, I just need help

  • Podbod10k Paul Denning (@Podbod10k) reported

    @AName05990807 @eurogamer @Steam how come steam side issues like this can't be rectified after the fact? Isn't that the fair thing to do?

  • John86569600 John (@John86569600) reported

  • ZacharyHazelwo1 Zachary Hazelwood (@ZacharyHazelwo1) reported

    @Steam Ive been trying to get the PR elitists to cover my work, but ive found the generalization darwin was far too richard dawkins best seller in mentality to be of much service. Over time ive stopped trying to hard to please the widest breadth of audience since its basically futile.

  • Coatlursa Mint Fish (@Coatlursa) reported

    Is there any way to stop that livestream broadcast thing from popping up in store pages on @Steam ? Always ends up lagging my potato internet/computer with it autoplaying.

  • ZacharyHazelwo1 Zachary Hazelwood (@ZacharyHazelwo1) reported

    @Steam I dont think anything pisses me off more than multi million dollar art where developers shrug and just kind of forget about that investment. If I ever learned how to breach into the source, id literally fix their work for them. Its infuriatingly lazy.

  • ClorithMJ Marius Jensen (@ClorithMJ) reported

    Wanted to do the Steam Deck thing, but it's limited to USA, Canada, UK, and EU... Literally everything western hemisphere except Norway... Great job @Steam 🤷 (same problem as I had with the Steam Controller...)

    @CuddlePotato @Steam This just sounds like first world problems
