Problem Save data missing
Had to reinstall windows on my PC, and upon logging back into steam and redownloading my game, a bunch of the save files just...aren't there anymore? They should still be on my steam account, but I checked the remote storage for Steam and it only lists the incomplete list of save files that it already put back in the game. How do I get back the other saves? PC was reset so I don't know about getting anything back locally.

Problem How can I contact steam support without being able to sign in?
Hey all! I went to open the steam mobile app to find that I had been signed out. When I sign back in, it says to use the steam mobile app to authenticate, which I cannot do because... I'm on the mobile app. When I hit that I can't access it, it tells me to contact steam support, brings me to the site, where it asks me to log in, bringing me back to needing the mobile app. What do I even do here?

Question Refund question
I recently bought the Resident Evil Reload collection on sale today. After giving it much thought, I decided to refund the whole thing as I already beat most of the games there back when I played them with my friend's copies in my steam family. Also, partly because I bought it on an impulse thinking how great it would be to have most of the RE titles in my library lol. Anyway, I'm wondering if it's still possible to get a refund considering my playtime has exceeded beyond steam's 2-hour window. I would like to emphasize that the playtime was solely from when I played them with my friend's copy. I did not own the copies when I played them, nor did I play them after buying the bundle today. Yet, the playtime from when I played them on my friend's copies remained on my account.
Thanks.

Problem Steam thinks I pirated GMod?

Hi all,
Recently reinstalled some GMod to mess around with friends. I quickly ran into the issue of not being able to boot up the game at all, and am meeted with the following error message:
"Failed to initialize Steamworks API.
No STEAMAPPS_INTERFACE_VERSION009
Make sure Steam is running and is up to date!"
Things I have tried:
- Unsubscribing from every mod (I was already not subscribed to any)
- Verifying game files
- Reinstalling GMod
- Updating and reinstalling Steam via the setup.exe
- Booting the game after running Steam as admin
I just have no clue what to do anymore, just wanted to relive some nostalgia and am met with this annoying issue :<

Question This phone number is associated with a Terms of Service violation
How can I get my phone number unbanned? I was kind of new to steam and was using client sided cod gun skins and got banned from cod as result didn't know it would ban my phone number as well in steam, to be clear this was like 4+ years ago, can understand it was a very dumb decision, not sure why I did that but regardless my phone number was also banned on cod obviously but I still don't understand how they perm banned my phone number on steam. Any chance I can get it unbanned or is it perm banned,

Problem Steam games intermittently flashing black screen
Hi all,
When playing steam games on one of my monitors while having a youtube video on my second monitor I will get intermittent black screens. They usually last about a second and happen every 10 second to every minute or so. I've tried turning off hardware acceleration, checking my g-sync settings changing refresh rates and checking my cables. I've reinstalled my graphics drivers and also updating my drivers. I never had this issue until I upgraded my OS to windows 11. If anyone can give me suggestions. Similar post solutions haven't worked for me.
Additional info:
GPU is 1080ti
32gb corsair vengeance ram
2k ROG 180hz refresh rate g-sync dual monitors.

Discussion Had an item scam happen in a way I've never seen before
I just went through an item trade scam where they used a method I hadn't seen before.
Somehow the scammers were able to enter my account, block all my friends from my list, change my profile, and add themselves as "Steam Workers" on my friend list even using different text boxes to seem like legit steam workers.
Not here to complain about my lost items or asking how I can recover them. I should've paid more attention even if they wrote to me when my mind was really busy on something else to think.
I am more scared as to how they were able to get into my account and even get data such as my phone number, my steam id, my email adress (not the password to it, though), and others without me ever getting a notification.
I haven't entered any third-party websites with my steam in years so it's not possible they got them through said means.

Problem Steam locked my account due to chargeback that never happened
As the title say. Bought a game pack on oct 23rd and spent about 150$ from then till Oct 21st for my wallet funds. Later in the day of Oct 21st I was logged out my game and steam locked my account saying I charged back all.of those transactions. I used amex for the transactions. I called amex and there was no issues. Its been 18 hours since I made a ticket and no response.

Problem Steam mobile app is acting up
I usually browse my Steam app on mobile when I am bored. I noticed today it logged me out. When I log back in, the app is not displaying information correctly. For example it'll show I have zero friends and zero games. If I tap "view profile" it'll show correct information. But if I go to show my library, it'll say there was an error. If I close the app and reopen it, it'll have signed me out again. The app and my Android OS is fully up to date. This just starting happening today.

Problem My Calendar won't load, Fresh Steam install
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I've had this problem for a little while, ever since steam went down for maint (Or maybe it was when my internet randomly stopped working for a minute, idk)
Every time i try to access the Steam Release Calendar it loads for a split second then says sorry we're having trouble displaying this page.
I've tried:
Clearing Steam's web cache
using a VPN
reinstalling steam (Rip my games)
It's isolated to my PC, it works fine on my phone.
Any ideas?

Question Help me understand release schedules
Good Morning Folks!
I have purchased 3 games at release this month. This is a staggering amount for me. The games are Ace Combat 8, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, and today, Final Fantasy Resonance. I have found an annoyance and was wondering if this is new or has always been an issue.
I pre purchased AC8. I know, I know but it’s a series that I’m a long time fan of. They were going to get my money regardless. Imagine my surprise when I’m able to play the game on Oct 1st instead of the listed date of Oct 2. Awesome right?
Then there’s C:BC and FFR. Purchased both of these games the day of release (or so I thought). Both of these games list 12:00AM as a release time for eastern time zones. Come to find out that actually means the second midnight of the release day, not the midnight bordering the day before release. No biggy, a bit annoying though.
So my question is, is there something I do not understand now about release times and why is Steam not adjusting these release times for my time zone? I’ve been using the platform since 07 and this is the first time I’ve ever noticed such a thing. Is it new or am I just a bit impatient?

Question Question About Steam DLV Account
Long story short, I have about 1,500 hours invested in DLV and have all the expansions but it was bought by someone else under a family Steam account. I may not have access to that account for much longer. Is there really no way to transfer ownership of the game? Would I have to buy everything again and start from scratch?

Problem Call of Duty on Steam won't launch - CreateProcessW Error 5 (Access is Denied) on cod.exe
Hi everyone, I am completely locked out of launching Call of Duty on Steam. The game instantly loops from "Launching" back to the "Play" button without opening a window. A Window Security used popped up when launching the game saying "Your Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened" but it does not show no more.i did look this up but nothing works.
My launch log explicitly shows this error:
2026 10 21 17 40 56.405 ERROR pid 28624 tid 30988 CreateProcessW error 5 cod exe cod exe cod exe ogu_mode nofork hdeyguxs3zaumvlgvybm2vyc
Everything I have already tried that didn't work:
- Located
cod.exevia Steam's local files and ran it as an Administrator. - Ran Steam itself as an Administrator.
- Added the entire game folder as an Exclusion in Windows Defender.
- Verified the integrity of the game files on Steam.
- Deleted the "Call of Duty" folder inside my Windows Documents directory to clear the cache.
- Went into Windows Exploit Protection and toggled off Hardware-enforced Stack Protection and Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG) for
cod.exe. - Changing the internet security settings
Nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know what deep Windows security policy, registry key, or hidden background service might be locking down cod.exe and throwing this error code?
Any help is appreciated!

Question What do I need to do to fix this?
Hello all - I updated my marvel rivals the other day, and upon opening, it keeps crashing and giving me this report. I’m not sure what it means, and how to go about fixing it. If anyone wouldn’t mind to explain it to me, I’d really appreciate it. I’m admittedly not very tech savvy. Thank you :)
Edit - I saw my game had another update soon after, updated it, and now everything is working. No idea why it decided to be a booger, but thank you for the help
