Steam Library Beta Coming Sept 17

  • Thread starter Thread starter V_R
  • Start date Start date
Found another issue actually - after awhile (few hours) I can no longer right click on anything i.e. a game in the left hand library list to get to "Properties...", etc. and certain things become very slow responding until I restart Steam.
 
I love the new library, finally you can filter or sort your games with things like metascore, time played, size, release date, etc...

I hope to get many more filters and sorting options asap :D.

Much more efficient use of space on 4k than the old UI, which basically wasted a lot of screen estate.

Usually I loathe new UI's, eg. Spotify was only a huge step back, and they re-instated features that hey removed over the years.
But the new Steam library adds many new options that were previously not there, the more features the better imho :).
 
The inability to quickly seperate owned games from family shared stuff is baffling, it was there in the old library. Wouldn't mind a quick tutorial as there are quite a few options and not all of it is particularly intuitive. Other than that, I quite like it.

The only thing that annoys me is the 'What's new' crap at the top. That needs to go.

Same, but as i said above, if you right click each one, and remove them, it disappears, but it'll no doubt come back, when theres an update, but up to now though, it hasn't reappeared for me yet.
 
Is anyone having any issues with crashing? My Steam just hangs when I start it up, it can take many retries before it loads correctly.
 
Yeeeah I hate this new layout. I used to have a list of just names, sorted based on installed and then not installed. Now it looks like a social media feed or some crap! I'm going to have to search through some options I think.

edit - Low bandwidth, low performance mode, with small icons has improved it quite a lot now. I removes the different "shelves" and just have games, sorted by size on disk which thankfully puts the installed games at the top and everything else below.

You can show only installed games by making a collection then dragging your installed games over. Hope that helps.
 
I'm moaned at steam help and moved my steam window to the far right of the screen, so only the list is visible. It's far to gawdy and colourful for my taste
 
No more small view.... I have been console gaming for a few months so have not seen this new setup, looks utter pants and no small view is a big no for me.
 
I'm a big fan. I like that it groups all the community and social stuff into the game page. Saves a lot of page loads. I also like the dynamic collections a lot.

Generally speaking, I like it.
 
How do I get back to the being able to right click...then select "play in VR"? <<That's what I did with the old system.
Now I left click...Then move the mouse to the box on the right....then click "Play"...then another list pops up where I can select "play in VR".

-Doesn't seem like progress.
