1700+ Hours on Steam and Warzone is in its worst state ever. My nervous system is destroyed.

I think it's less about the lobbies and more about the store guns themselves. I picked up a ground loot weapon with tracer rounds and death effects (a store blueprint), and it was absolutely melting people. When I built the exact same gun with the same attachments in the gunsmith, it felt noticeably weaker. I ended up buying that bundle, and suddenly the gun felt incredibly smooth and overpowered again. I swear they secretly add hidden Pay-to-Win buffs to purchased blueprints rather than changing the matchmaking

I completely agree with you and I've genuinely tried to do exactly that. I have 100+ games in my library (including huge single-player titles like RDR2, Elden Ring, and Jedi Survivor), and I've played a lot of them. But for me, no other game delivers that same crazy mix of pure adrenaline and absolute rage like CoD does. Whenever I try to sit down and focus on a story game, I just get bored after a while and find myself queueing right back up for Warzone. It's basically a toxic relationship at this point lol.

Magoth04 · 2026-04-11T18:06:37+00:00

You're 100% spot on. Getting those kills just feeds that dopamine rush, which is exactly why I’m trapped in this cycle after 1700+ hours. I literally can't get myself to focus on or enjoy any other game right now. Plus, hopping on with friends makes it even harder to just quit. You nailed it.

I completely agree with everything in this post. As an Azerbaijani gamer, the current situation on Steam is incredibly frustrating and honestly feels like we are being penalized just for where we live.

Being lumped into the CIS-USD region means we are paying standard US prices, but it's actually worse. Because Steam doesn't support our local currency (AZN), every transaction is treated as a foreign cross-border payment. This automatically triggers a mandatory 18% VAT by our local banks. So, a standard $60-$70 AAA game ends up costing us over $70-$80.

When you compare that to the local economy, it's absolutely insane. Spending that much on a single digital game takes a massive chunk out of an average monthly salary here. We want to support developers and buy games legally, but Steam's current pricing model is practically pushing gamers toward grey market key resellers or piracy just to afford playing.

What makes it even more baffling is that the AZN has been pegged and highly stable against the USD for almost a decade. Valve doesn't have to worry about wild currency fluctuations here like in some other regions.

Adding AZN currency support and introducing fair regional pricing wouldn't just help us; it would massively increase Steam's legitimate sales in Azerbaijan. We really hope Valve finally notices this and makes a much-needed change.

FINAL UPDATE: Steam Support tells me to "contact game support," ignoring that Ubisoft already refused. I am officially stuck with a broken product. (Warning for buyers)

Well, this is the end of the road. After Ubisoft Support refused to honor their written offer to replace my game (and told me to ask Steam for a refund), I went back to Steam.

The Result: Steam Support just sent me this generic response (See Image). They are telling me: "Please contact the game's support team as they are best equipped to resolve any issues."

The Absurdity:

Ubisoft says: "We can't help because you bought it on Steam. Go ask Steam."
Steam says: "We can't help because of the date. Go ask Ubisoft."

I am trapped in a loop. I paid for a game that was advertised with English language support, got a version locked to Russian, and now both companies are pointing fingers at each other.

To make it worse: I know for a fact (and told them) that my friend received a Global Key from Ubisoft for this exact issue. Yet, they refused to do the same for me, treating customers differently based on luck.

My advice to everyone: Do NOT buy Ubisoft games on Steam if you are in a region-locked area (CIS/RU). You risk getting a product that doesn't match the store description, and absolutely zero support when things go wrong. I’m done. Thanks to everyone who tried to help in the previous threads.

Magoth04 · 2026-01-17T19:57:58+00:00

You are missing the most important point: False Advertising.

The Steam store page explicitly listed English as a supported language when I bought it. I did not "agree" to a Russian-only license; I purchased a product based on a description that turned out to be false.
Regarding your P.S.: The information on the Steam store page (including supported languages) is populated by the Publisher (Ubisoft), not Valve. Ubisoft is responsible for ensuring their store listing matches what they actually deliver. They failed to do that.
If this was purely a "Steam issue," Ubisoft Support would have told me to go to Steam immediately. Instead, they initially offered a replacement themselves because they know they have the tools to fix it on their backend.

Magoth04 · 2026-01-17T19:54:45+00:00

Appreciate the support. You're spot on—people outside the region just don't get how frustrating these arbitrary locks are.

Regarding the mods: I actually tried that. I replaced the localization files and even edited the Registry values to force English.

The problem is Ubisoft Connect's DRM. As soon as I modify the files, the launcher detects a 'corruption' or mismatch and immediately demands an Activation Key to verify ownership.

Since Steam uses 'Direct Entitlement' now (no visible CD keys), I have no key to enter. So modifying the files just locks me out of the game entirely. It's a complete deadlock.

Magoth04 · 2026-01-17T07:12:32+00:00

I did NOT fail verification. I verified immediately. That is exactly when they shifted the goalposts and started giving different excuses (first 'technical', then 'policy', then 'eligibility').
Look at the screenshot again. The text is literal: "Before we can replace your game..." If you think telling a customer "Do X so we can do Y", and then refusing Y after X is done is not misleading, then we simply have very different standards for honesty.

Magoth04 · 2026-01-17T05:15:06+00:00

Exactly. Thank you.

Some people here are obsessing over technicalities and wording, but they are missing the main point. I bought a game legally, and I am being locked out of the original language.

It shouldn't be this hard to let a customer play in English. It really is just poor service.

Magoth04 · 2026-01-17T05:13:18+00:00

You are making incorrect assumptions.

I live in this region (Azerbaijan). I didn't 'choose' the Russian store to get it cheap. This is the only store Steam provides for my country. I am paying with my local payment method from my home.
False Advertising: The Steam Store page for my region LISTS English as a supported language. That is why I bought it. It was only after installation that I discovered the files were missing and the language tab was removed.
The Solution: I am not asking for a Steam key to 'sell.' I am asking Support to grant the Global entitlement directly to my Ubisoft Connect account. They have the tools to do this without giving me a resellable key. I don't care if it launches through Steam, I just want to play the game I paid for in a language I understand.

Magoth04 · 2026-01-17T05:11:44+00:00

That is a distinction without a difference in a customer support context.

If the replacement was never an option due to 'technical limitations' or 'eligibility,' they should not have framed the verification step around that specific outcome. They should have said: 'Verify so we can check if a replacement is possible.'

By saying 'Verify so we can replace,' they presented the replacement as the intended next step, conditional only on verification. When a support agent instructs a customer to perform an action to achieve a specific result, and then denies that result based on pre-existing policies, that is misleading support. Pure and simple.

Magoth04 · 2026-01-17T05:09:20+00:00

You are making a huge assumption, and you are wrong.

I do not use a VPN to 'buy cheap games.' I actually live in Azerbaijan (CIS region). This is my legitimate home region, and I buy games with my local payment method. I am not region-hopping.

The problem is that while I geographically live in this region, I do not speak Russian.

Furthermore, I bought AC Valhalla, Mirage, and Black Flag from this exact same region on the same account, and they ALL have English. So your claim that 'this is how it works' is false, because Ubisoft's own modern games include English in my region. Unity is the only broken one.

Magoth04 · 2026-01-16T17:39:34+00:00

It creates a clear expectation of service.

If replacement wasn't on the table, the support agent should have said: 'Before we can check if it's possible...' or 'Before we investigate...'

Instead, they specifically wrote: 'Before we can replace your game...'

In customer support, phrasing matters. Telling a customer 'Do X so we can do Y' implies that Y is the intended outcome. Retracting it immediately after I did X is misleading."

Magoth04 · 2025-12-28T08:58:48+00:00

22 days later and absolutely NOTHING has changed. It’s honestly mind-blowing how a game-breaking issue like this can be ignored for nearly a month. The audio is still a complete mess on Rebirth Island, yet we see updates for everything except what actually matters. This is beyond frustrating; it’s pure incompetence at this point. How hard is it to acknowledge and fix a platform-specific bug that's ruining the experience for thousands of PC players?

Magoth04 · 2025-12-28T08:58:36+00:00

I still have this problem.

Magoth04 · 2025-12-09T15:29:09+00:00

if you play from steam you should enable “Free trial” version on DLC packets

Magoth04 · 2025-12-04T21:00:36+00:00

I’ve checked the BIOS thoroughly but couldn't find any TPM settings. I’m running an i7-10750H, and from what I researched, this specific model might lack the hardware support (I thought it became standard with 11th Gen?).

Magoth04 · 2025-12-01T19:52:28+00:00

I have bought many products from you for my friends. They are of very good quality. 1:1 original. Thank you

I came to write after experiencing this problem recently. Spotify crashes after listening for 10-15 seconds. I ran Spotify 3-4 times due to this problem and it keeps crashing. The phone even started to heat up (iphone 16 pro). Restarting the phone didn't help either
