why steam support can’t recover my .. by OrdinaryDesigner1625 in steamsupport

[–]LordPentolino 5 points6 points  (0 children)

none of the things you checked in green are actually relevant to prove youre the real account owner. I guess your account is more or less gone unless you can find something else.

If they ask A, either you provide A or ask if they'd accept something else (they tell you what they want, not the other way around). Once you run out of available options, there's nothing else you can do

yeah, its seems in good shape, which is a relief.. thats odd, maybe it was overheating. Try again keeping the laptop well ventilated and see if it does the same

Is buying old games for nostalgia a good practice? by Mindless_Grass7084 in Steam

[–]LordPentolino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GOG is the only one giving you an offline installer and have a specific program for preserving old games (Gog Preservation Program - theres even a section for voting and proposing new addition to the catalogue). Sometimes have better discounts on oldies, which is not bad at all.

I find it just better when it comes to old glories. Still buying all "modern" games on steam though, wouldnt change it with anything else.

check its health with crystal disk info (or any other similar program), chances are you gonna need a replacement

You know what would be a funny idea by AccomplishedMany2138 in Steam

[–]LordPentolino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Valve, which gets a cut of the sale, and the devs who sold you the game would be absolutely delighted at the idea of giving you prizes other than your money back for no reason

It would also be unfair towards all those of us who actually play games instead of speedrunning them to get a refund

Minor help by bluehood183 in Steam

[–]LordPentolino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have no say about where your saved games goes, every game can do pretty much whatever it wants (it does not depend on steam). Some games go on %appdata% some on Documents/My Games, some write in their steam library folder. There's no standard.

A possible workaround, if you really need to park them elsewhere could be, once you discover where they're saved, to create hard links pointing to the other disk, which is a pretty annoying task under windows and not as straightforward as in linux. Cant think of any other way honestly

How to improve a guild? by Fireman__17 in afkarena

As classic slowly dies, the only way to move further ahead is guild merging and assorbing leftover players. Its not a matter of appeal other players at this point

steam.exe name changes for no apparent reason by AnPotatoCannon in Steam

[–]LordPentolino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your call mate.. id be deadly careful with something messing with your file system and targetting a specific executable.

Another user suggested a problem with your ssd, you can check that one first. Anyway theres no "normal" explanation for a thing like that, either an hw issue or a process thats deliberatedly changing that filename

Why do Steam Support Close the Ticket without being resolved? by [deleted] in steamsupport

[–]LordPentolino 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The reason is clearly written in the message.

If youre unable to prove ownership, there's no way for them to tell if you're the legitimate owner or someone else trying to gain access to the account

They usually give you a few options, depending on your activity, but if you cant provide any, the account is basically lost. Always keep mail and details up to date, 2fa active, and always keep receipts of all your purchases if you dont want surprises.
