PSA: Large Steam Libraries Are Currently Broken on GeForce NOW — No Fix in Sight

I've been dealing with a persistent GeForce NOW issue for nearly two weeks where any Steam game fails to launch, getting stuck at "Loading User Data" indefinitely. The only workaround is bizarre: I have to open the native Steam client on my PC and add a free game to my library — every time — just to "unstick" the GFN session.

I reported this on April 26, gave full logs, steps to reproduce, troubleshooting, system details, and even linked multiple other users with the same issue — all of us have large, old Steam accounts (2000+ games, 15–20 years old).

After escalating through multiple reps and re-explaining everything to each one:

  • Zia asked basic questions I’d already answered.
  • Sid asked for app logs, then sent me to the 500-character feedback form (seriously).
  • Vinoy finally escalated to Tier 2.
  • Dylan confirmed it’s a known issue and gave me a free month — but no ETA, no fix, and now the ticket was closed as “Unresolved”.

So here’s the deal:
If you have a large Steam account, Steam games may no longer be playable on GeForce NOW.
There is currently no solution, and even their Tier 2 team is stumped.

If you're planning a multi-month renewal or using GFN to play a deep back catalog — be warned. You're likely to hit this wall, and the workaround (manually adding free Steam games) is not sustainable.
