Was trying to readd my SATA drive as a recording and screenshot folder but it keeps blocking the setting to do so. I am using a custom theme but i just updated the entire thing. Please help

Last night my account got compromised. I got contacted by Steam support to work through the problem they were very helpful and I am so glad they are real people and not just automated AI like Microsoft anyway when I woke up in the morning I was logged out of my account so I kind of panicked and tried to reset it without looking inside my Gmail then when I looked inside, I discovered that Steam had reset my password to temporary one for me so I logged back in and successfully recovered my Steam account and changed my password TLDR STEAM SUPPORT is goaded as ever, and the Microsoft support can go straight to hell

after moving to windows 11, i still have all of my steam games in my D: drive, but steam is saying every single game has an update queued which is all really slow, been like 3 hours and im only 41% thru the first game, which is REALLY odd, as usually just downloading a 100gb+ game like baldurs gate 3 takes 30 minutes tops. is there any way to tell steam “hey, all files are already downloaded, they are right here” or any other ideas?

Hi, every time I try to open Steam I am stuck on a loading screen which will go on for at least 20 minutes. I've quit steam, restarted my computer, repaired all C++ systems, and turned off and on WiFi. No results. What should I do?

So I got this weird bug where some games just don't launch the same when I start them from the exe file manually in the file explorer and on the Steam launcher.

For instance, I was trying to launch Crawl on Steam but it would just be a white screen for some odd reason. After hours of research and testing I realized that the issue isn't even there if I launch it from "Crawl.exe" in the game's local files, meaning it didn't even launch the same way.

Crawl was simply an example, this happens for other games with all of them having different things happening.
I do not have any launch options on any of the games I'm having this issue with.

Do any of you have a solution or something I can look into to fix this damn thing? Been having trouble with it for almost a year now.

I apologize if my post is unclear or vague, if you have any questions regarding clarity I'll be happy to answer it as soon as possible.

My store page in the steam app has been like this for days now, i dont know what it is, please help

Hello,
I did upgrade to windows 11 today and ever since I can’t launch any game through steam for some reason even though it was working perfectly fine before upgrading

Whenever i record something with steams Record function i can only hear my voice while my friends are very very silent or not hearable at all.

How do i fix this?

every time I try to install games now on my outside drive for my pc it takes an absurd amount of time. This just started and the last thing I remember doing was a call of duty 4 mw1 mod and then this started. I've tried clearing cache, testing with CrystalDiskInfo, wifi testing etc, but this problem only appears with my outside drive. When I've tried using my other drive {1 of 3} it takes 24 minutes, so it's just with the one drive. Along with all of this I've ran many tests like malware or integrity and get blanks, please help me out.

Hello everyone

help me please get access to my steam account, what should I do? I don't have access To my steam guard because my brother jokingly Deleted the mobile app for me and now I can't log in in any way, they threw up their hands at support because I have like "not enough evidence" although I have everything from the account except for the steam guard and the special code. What should I do?

Anyone else having issues with Steam sign in today? I feel like there's something going on with steam slowing down my arc Raiders experience today.

Anyone else?

I've recently bought a game and it just looks like this no matter what I do. I tried anything and everything and honestly reaching out through this post is my last shot please help me

By my own fault I used a 3rd party website that was not secure when I thought it was. My account was taken. I had put in a support ticket over 3 weeks ago and within the ticket I had received confirmation that the account became locked and I would receive it back last week. I did not receive any new confirmation that I have it or that I will be getting it back. Also with that a day before I was supposed to have it back a friend told me that someone was messaging them from my account and it was not me. I also somehow have another account hooked to the same email. I have 30k hours of gameplay and thousands of dollars spent on games and in-game purchases. So I would really like to not lose that progress and money.

I’ve put in a new ticket a few days ago and have given the same information and now gotten a different answer that it wasn’t sufficient information. They now need a CD key that I guess has been used on the account. To my knowledge I have not used any sort of physical steam code into my account. And if I did it was many years ago and I don’t have access to the code any longer. And so they have told me if I don’t provide this code I will no longer be helped and the support ticket will be closed. I have offered bank statements of purchases and emails of purchase confirmations and even people to state that the account belongs to me. But no response to any of it.

So I’ve come here to see if anyone has anything else that has worked for them or am I just fucked.

hey eveyone, how are we? good i hope, i really could use some help, while already posted over on r/HalfLife and r/Valve i tought i'd post here to because its relevant. for over a year now i have not been able to play Half-Life 2 OR Portal 1, the game keep crashing on launch and i have no idea what to do anymore because it feels like i tried everything, let me fill you in one what happens, when i click launch on both games a black screen will appear for a second before the game suddenly closes. When i validate portal, everything checks out, when i validate Half-Life 2 though, it will tell me that 64 files failed, and despite how many times i've tried it will not reacquire them.

i have tried the fallowing
validating
fresh install
cleared steam cache
cleared workshop folder
changed install location
changed versions from anniversary to pre anniversary
checked drivers
used control panel to scan pc health
used event viewer (when i use it, it logs the error but fails to log what the source is)

despite all of this the same issue remains, however there is some extra context that might give clues to those who are much smarter then me, while trying to fix the game once, Half-lifes icon suddenly turned into a globe without reason, and there was an event that happened prior to them breaking to, back in November the hard drive they were installed on began to fail and slowly corrupt, the drive was replaced and i've had no issues with other games that were once on the failing drive, the drive was a external one meant for non important files, half life and portal were on it when it began to corrupt, however they both got a fresh install on a new drive, other Source 1 games such as Gmod, Black Mesa source, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2, Left 4 dead 2, Day Of Defeat Source and Counter strike source all function as intended

i've given you the current situation and a little backstory of an event that happened before they stopped working. i hope someone, anyone can see something i've missed, i LOVE these games with a passion and do not want to give up on them, thank you for reading this far, have a wonderful day

I'm getting this weird issue where a lot of images on the Steam client aren't loading properly. I'm not sure what caused this or how to fix it. Anyone know what to do?

I've tried clearing the Steam cache and opting into the beta and that didn't seem to do anything.

This is unrelated to me using the linux client
I also was given this error on windows

Im trying to reset my password, but whenever I do the capcha, an error message says

"Your response to the CAPTCHA appears to be invalid. Please re-verify that you're not a robot below.

(Reference ID: 14230917048923066)"

I've cleared all my browser history and cookies, I've cleared temp files and all that, still nothing.

I went to make a second account to open a ticket but the capcha prevents me from doing that.

Anyone know how to help, cause im a little frustrated rn😭

I'm looking to reddit as my last resort because I can not fix this for god knows what reason, ever since I've upgraded my pc (CPU, Motherboard and DDR5 Ram) I have not been able to view my profile not even in game, I can see it when I fully load into steam (screenshots provided) however when in game I can not see my pfp or view others its just a question mark, I've done everything to solve this and even went to lengths of factory resetting my pc, I have two accounts on steam, my main one and my old one I just managed to recover not long ago and it affects both accounts, the Binding of Isaac screenshots are from my main account and the rocket league screenshots are from my old account, for some reason I can not fix this no matter what I've done does anyone have an idea of what I can do? (I included something I found in Big picture where it says I'm not connected to the internet despite having a connection to my ethernet)
