When I launch any steam game it instantly closes on me. I'm sure that the games I am trying to play are supported by my computer. How do I fix this?

Answer by Rajesh Gupta

It is possible that there could be an issue with your Steam installation or the specific game files. Try verifying the game files through the Steam client or reinstalling the game. If the problem persists, you can seek further assistance from Steam support or the game's support forum for specific troubleshooting steps.

Answer by Alex Urbach

Steam is a digital platform for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. It works by allowing users to purchase thousands of games that can be stored on one single library accessible from anywhere. Here's what you need:

  1. The software: http://store.steampowered.com/about/

  2. An account: https://store.steampowered.com//login/?redir=about%2F

  3. Purchasing games: Paypal, Credit or Debit Card, Paysafecard and more.

And this is how it should look:

Click to viewSteam's window

Once you purchase a game through the interface, you'll find it in library ready to be downloaded.

Where in the Steam client is the function of refund request?

Stephen Prastman
Answer by Stephen Prastman

The Steam client doesn't provide a way to request a Steam refund. You will have to log-in on the Help page with your username and then request a refund. Notice that refunds are available only for some titles and only for a limited period of time.


To begin, use the following URL as a guidance, then log-in with your username and password and follow the presented procedure: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6695-QIKM-7966&l=English

Every time I go to Steam, it always says "The action is only valid for products that are currently installed." I encounter this error whenever I try to uninstall.

Can I play on Steam with a controller, or does it only support keyboard for PC?

Stephen Prastman
Answer by Stephen Prastman

Yes, you can play a Steam game with your controller. Steam created Big Picture, a mode where controller is exclusively used to play games and control the available functions. Firstly, connect your controller and make sure it's installed properly, then go to View > Big Picture Mode. Your controller will be available to navigate through the menus.
