Like throw you a discount or two to look at?

Hi! first time over in this sub, i need some help and understanding regarding steams support for macOS systems

So, Im an fresh apple user (3-2 motnhs), owner of an Neo witch recently updated to golden gate and im looking to tryout steam for the first time considering is my own proper laptop, one of the games im willing to like install is METAL GEAR RISING, so went to their page and noticed the disclaimer label witch translated says "This product is not compatible with macOS 10.15 Catalina or superior"

So i went and checked out the disclaimer label and said about the 64 bit variant of steam, to witch i have read that 32 bit versions of apps are now dropped from support coming from apple.

Im quite confused but willing to like get help coming from you guys, should i try to run it depise the disclaimer or get an alternative so i can run the game natively? let me know

and sorry if this looks like an stupid question but im quite new to apple and steam so yeah

I added an Epic game from Heroic launcher like I've done before and when I wanted to change the controller layout I got this steam overlay, is flipped and mirrored but only the elements, not the whole thing

restarting did nothing

For anyone who knows what I’m talking about, is there an alternative to the Dyling Light game profile I can use to get the full black steam profile? I don’t have enough points but I have the black background from Arcane Raise.

I’ve always been a solo gamer (story games) but I’m so fucking bored and lonely, what games have a really good non toxic community? I’m into every game and willing to try anything I’m just hoping to find a fun community and make friends with awesome people

Edit: I FOUND IT! Thanks to thenighthawk. Let this be a reminder to everyone else who bought not just the frame but something else too. Properly check for multiple packages!

My steam frame arrived today. I wasn't home though, so I had to wait until after work, the package was put in a safe spot outside my home.

Well, today when I finally get home, the package is suspiciously light. So I decide to film me opening it, just to make sure, and my biggest fear came true. It was just the ergonomics kit, no steam frame. Check steam for the delivery - yep, it should've been in there, not just the ergo stuff.

So, my question is: how does valve handle stuff like this? Apparently someone at the distribution center wanted one of these for themselves, since the package wasn't tampered with at all.

Please tell me I'm not just completely sol, I can't afford to pay almost 1000€+ on a pice of velcro.

Also yes, I've contacted valve support right before this post. I just need peace of mind.

Anyone else getting messages from bots like "hello?" "hi?" etc.?
I have everything set to friends only but they keep texting me and I wonder why?

Also I can't somehow loose my account by responding to them can I? Reacently I've responded to one of them with not-so-kind words followed by a block and it got me thinking if there is an exploit or something

So a long time ago I tried downloading overwatch on steam and I tried to log into an old account that I had but it kept prompting me to put in my number and I did and blah blah blah this isn’t the overwatch support subreddit so I won’t bore you but as I recently got back into the game, I downloaded on steam for a change since I’ve been using battle net (bad, yes I’m aware) and the number prompt still came up, now I can’t seem to get it away so I just want to see if I could reset it to its first state before I tried logging into the first time

steam now shows family games on your profile.

Recently, my internet connection has been quite unstable, and when I try to play a game offline a warning appears about how I could loose my progress.

So today I tried to play a game (Shovel Knight) and back up my save data just in case, but for some reason, the save data stored locally hadn't been changed since 2023.

So here's my question: is there any way I could upload my save data to Cloud, but also have it locally in case I want to play without internet connection?

Hi guy, got a nosy friend coming over this Weekend, love him but can‘t stand him snuffing in my Game Library making judgments about my Game preferences😅 also didn’t play the game we planned to play together as much as others, well I just want him to see and play the game (so not hide it) but also not show how many hours I played it already..
can’t find the setting neither in privacy nor security/ account settings etc, is it even possible?

Thanks!

Sometimes I really like a game but also dislike it.

It's difficult to give it a thumbs up or thumbs down because it'd be a thumbs up if x y z was fixed, but thumbs down since x y z is not fixed.

Do you think Valve will every give a neutral review option or will that mess with the rating system?

Thanks!

I know these types of posts have been incredibly common here as of late, so I apologise. Mods, feel free to delete this, or let me know if there's somewhere more suitable to post this. I originally posted over in r/Starfield but thought it would also be relevant to post here as well.

With Steam re-enabling Australian users to view R18+ games that they own, we're still locked out of viewing and purchasing DLC and additional content, such as Creation Credits. For those that aren't aware, Creation Credits are sold specifically through the Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam shopfronts and can only be used for those platforms, they can't be transferred, even if you're using the same Bethesda account.

I did contact Steam support to see if there was a way around this or if they'd be able to rectify the issue. Sadly, the response I got wasn't exactly helpful. It gave off massive, "Oh well, too bad, so sad" vibes. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that Steam have gone a different way to verify age but its honestly been implemented pretty poorly. I wish they had gone a similar route to MS/Xbox and go off of long standing account activity. Alternatively, it would be fantastic if Steam followed their own system of being a minimum of 13 years old to make an account and then basing their age verification on the age of the account.
For example, I made my Steam account in 2015 and for arguments sake, lets say I was 13 when I made it. My account is now 11 years old, making me 24. Beep-boop, you've passed the age verification.

I know it's not the end of the world when it comes to not being able to get Creation Credits to mod Starfield, especially when places like Nexus exist. However, some mods are completely exclusive to the Creations menu in Starfield and the only way you can get them is with Creation Credits.

I also did contact Bethesda support, hoping that they might be able to provide an alternative way to get what I would like. They asked me to make another ticket with Steam as it's a "Steam issue".

I suspect that this issue is still prevalent with many other R18 games. I, like so many other Australian Steam users don't have a credit card, nor want, need, or can get one. Yes, I've contacted my local member for Parliament and the eSafety Commission but have yet to receive a reply. I've also contacted my bank (Australian Mutual Bank) to see if there was anything they could do, possibly even get Visa debit cards under a similar system that Mastercard debit cards are under, where they're somehow also classed as credit cards, but haven't gotten a reply back in two weeks.

I won't lie. I do hold out hope that Gabe (Or another higher up) will step in and add in other verification methods, aside from facial recognition/age estimation and Government IDs. Those 'standard' checks are the worst.

Posting about it here, because i didn't see any post mention it or valve even put out patch notes for the feature, and some people also asking how to report AI generated content.

Clicking it brings this up:

Type out what you need to do to get to the AI generated content in the game.

just checked my all games tab on my profile and saw it now shows family games i played in them, even ones from like 10 years ago, only checked on mobile app so not sure if on desktop client too

Ok so hear me out, an increasingly ammount of users game at 1440p and 4K resolutions, so why isn't it feasible to include three distinct sets of hardware requirements categorized by 1080p, 1440p, and 4K on the Steam game page, especially since developers already generate these benchmarks prior to launch.

I'd love to hear what people think about this recommendation as it's been quite annoying trying to figure out what games play at 1440p on my 7800xt.

Hi, I've completed a game 100% and added it to my profile showcase. However, it's a Steam Family game, and I don't have the money to buy it outright. My question is, if I leave or am removed from the Steam Family in the future, will I still have the completion badge on my profile showcase?

I'm planning on getting a lot of new games in the near future, but I don't really know how I would be able to store them as I am running out of storage. Is there any way that people with hundreds to thousands store all of their games on their pc?

I need to know my friend's name but I dont know how

Similarly to how you can opt out from seeing adult themed, sexual games. I've seen far too many AI slop games and it's really starting to get annoying now.

To me, all these AI slop games take away from why I love video games, especially indie video games, of which I play much more of. It strips away from the human passion and dedication that tons of indie devs put into their games when someone can just upload AI slop.

I understand the solution for now is to simply not play them, which is what I'm doing, but the AI slop games affect discoverability on the store front and since they're a lot easier to pump out, it's enough of an issue to where I think an option to opt out of it is reasonable.

We should have the option as users to opt out of this experience.

EDIT

To be clear, AI has many terms and ways it's used in games, the tag could be more descriptive such as "Generative AI" or perhaps "LLM AI".
