I pre-purchased with the intent to try the game and then gauge weather or not to keep it but, if I am going to spend 6 hours minimum, just in queue, then there is no way that Steam will allow me to make a claim on return due to the fact that I spent more than 2 hours âin gameâ even if it was in the game queue.
This seems like horrible business practice and the perfect storm to scam people out of their money to boost game numbers and sales.
Is there an ETA as to when there will be either larger capacity for current servers or increased servers to permit play? Clearly thereâs preferential treatment for those who stream your game as they are having zero issue connecting and hosting via Twitch so people can collect drops; I donât just want to watch others play. I would like to experience this world for myself, please.
Very few servers have queueâs right now, at least the US ones and you didnât mention where youâre trying to play from. Iâve seen several people suggest writing to steam to request a refund even though they are past the 2 hours. That would be my only suggestion, beyond trying a different server with no queue.
Itâs frustrating for sure but hopefully they fix it very very shortly, only time I got in fine to play was 30 minutes before server maint this morning
Itâs not just frustrating; itâs impossible to play.
I mean, I guess, I will need to give it a week before I attempt but, that does mean that those who are able to play will have an upper hand as they will have scaled ahead with the time they were allotted.
It seems great from the viewpoint of the Streamers but, I would love to make up my own mind rather than staring at someone elseâs game.
I am in the same position as the rest of us qeue andys, and hopefully they get it fixed before the weekend, all I can do is wait on my 3h queue time into Barri and play another game while I wait
I, unfortunately, canât - I work night shifts and start shift in about 2 hours so no real option to just âqueue and waitâ also, Steam doesnât care if you play or game for 2 hours - as soon as you have 2 hours of âtime in gameâ they will no longer consider a refund.
⌠so, what you are saying, is that if I want an EU server with no waiting time I should be playing in a server that is âoff lineâ⌠that does seem like an idea, not a practical one but, definitely worth noting.
Iâm guessing the EU Frankfort servers are down for maintenance. I know Steams policy, but yesterday people were saying that they would still refund beyond the two hours because itâs right now unplayable for some people. Youâd just have to email them and explain.
