Still waiting for a fix to make Steam library sharing usable on a multi user system without quietly failing with nothing showing
Yes please, I’ve just been hit by this yesterday. Though there are workarounds… But they aren’t pretty.
i hope it finally fixes the bug that makes steam have alzheimers when it comes to windows size and position.
because I’m sick to fucking death of having to constantly resize and reposition the windows every time i switch between small/large and when launching.
Its so bad that I gave up and just started browsing steam store via browser.
I hate that it steals the focus like 5 times when launching. I’ll try to click off to do something while it’s starting, but it steals input focus. I get doing it once when the app finishes loading, but I really don’t need to stare at the startup progress bar.
Steam, as a program, has fundamentally gotten worse with every update ever since they switched to electron/chromium
remember for a while they tried to take small mode away from us.
cause they are going down the same route that everything goes. Its gotten popular, so now they are trying to turn it into a social media platform.
I dont want a social media playform. theres already enough of those. I just want a small, slick, low resource, easy to use, quick to load program to buy my games and launch them.
I was hoping there would be something about resource usage. Curse you, steamwebhelper
Oh yeah. If you leave a steam page open, it’ll create a very slow memory leak. Left store page open for about a week, came back to 6gb steamwebhelper xd
Wait really?! Feel like that’s a bug that really needs addressing
what kind of sane person is gonna leave a steam page open for over a week, though?
I mean… I often open steam for something and then kind of forget about it.
What kind of sane person is gonna debug and track down a memory leak, though? Just buy more ram
I can see it easily being accidentally left open if you have a busy desktop and don’t regularly restart your PC
Also not a fan of downloads eating a core.
How about you fix cs2 for Linux?
I really hope they come with a wayland native version in the near future.
This, proton and an app I need for work are all that’s left before I can trash xwayland… can’t wait!
dropdown menus now appear correctly.
I feel like I’ve heard this before. Anyway, if it’s true they’ve finally fixed a bug that’s almost two years old
I had this until I switched to flatpak version a year ago. That helped both with graphics driver issues and the stability of the main client for me.
cries in Ubuntu
You can use Flatpak as well?
Please fix the issue where you change my default graphic card settings in the desktop file. It’s super annoying to have to launch from the cli after an update.
Does copying the desktop file to the applications directory in ~/.local help?
I don’t know I haven’t tried that as I can go in and change the file, and set PrefersNonDefaultGPU=false and it works after that.
OMG thats what that is… I thought I was crazy
How bout anti-cheat, so we can play multiplayer games? Please.
We have that. Depends wholly on the developer to implement it right.
Depends on Publisher allowing Linux Support.
Which AFAIK means to merely check a box and steam takes care of it.
Did they fix the bug where launching a game with steam minimised opens steam store? That shit is one of the main reasons for me to sail the sea instead of buying from steam.
Not sure wh the downvotes. I had to switch from gnome to KDE for the problem to go away. Steam client beta branch didn’t do anything
I’m on nvidia and it’s such an irritating bug cause a lot of the times games don’t launch or work properly cause of the steam window in the background. It’s a legit issue, idk why steam fanboys are mad.
Thanks, I’ll try kde as you said. Never knew kde fixed it.
Have you tried flatpak instead of native install?
You pirate games because Steam opens a window?
Gabe Newell said it himself. Piracy isn’t a price issue it’s a service issue. If the steam client is shit. Then we’re going to go pirate
But it’s really not. It has bugs, but the overall service is fantastic.
There’s still no light theme, you can’t upload videos, screenshots on your feed take like 20% of the screen with no proper full-screen view (it opens another window after two clicks that you have to close later), likes and comments don’t sync well between the friends feed and the game feed, and this list goes on and on. Steam client is far from fantastic. It’s a half-baked product with inconsistent user experience.
I agree. I was just defending that other person. Still think it’s ass the the steam client is a second class citizen on Linux. It’s still filled with so many bugs you don’t see on windows
I share clean steam files for the ones I buy too. What you gonna do about it?
So you enjoy pirating games. Great! More power to you.
But then let’s not pretend it’s because of the steam UI.
I said it’s one of the reasons. Let’s not speak for each other.
Are you a steam fanboy or something?
