Steam keeps closing my support ticket without addressing my actual issue. Is there any way to get a proper manual review?
I bought Battlefield 6 on Steam for 69.99€ at launch (November 3, 2025) and have around 34 hours played.
I know I'm way outside the normal 14-day / 2-hour refund policy. I'm not disputing that.
The problem is that the game used to be playable on my PC. After subsequent updates, performance has gotten significantly worse. I'm now getting around 15–20 FPS, even with everything on Low and a reduced resolution.
My PC is an i7-9750H, GTX 1650 4GB and 16GB RAM. Yes, I know the GTX 1650 is below the current minimum requirements. I'm not trying to hide that. The point is that this exact PC was able to run the game when I bought it, and the performance has deteriorated since then.
I've tried the usual troubleshooting steps. Steam told me to contact EA, so I did. EA gave me the same generic troubleshooting steps and didn't provide a solution.
I went back to Steam and explained everything. Their latest response was to send me two posts about matchmaking, which has absolutely nothing to do with my problem. My problem is FPS/performance.
The ticket was then closed.
I'm not trying to abuse the refund system. I actually want to play the game. I just don't want to be left with a 70€ game that I can no longer reasonably play.
Has anyone managed to get Steam Support to actually manually review a case like this? Is there any legitimate way to get someone to properly look at the situation rather than receiving the standard refund response?
Any advice would be appreciated.
