Steam UI Update

because it's the same community page that non-beta users are getting. So they're either still working on it behind the scenes, or don't think it needs testing

yeah could be. when they removed the titles u used to get with your steam rating they said they want to do something much better so fingers crossed.
 
Anybody know if Steam still stops downloads when you're playing a game? It's a PITA to have to Alt+Tab to resume a download when you just want to play a single player game.
 
whys it downloading mw2 mutiplayer again stupied thing

says that about CoH on mine but i can still open/play them despite them only being 12% downloaded :confused:

Ah just go to the dl page and click pause/suspend a few tiems and they jump to ready to play.
 
New UI looks very nice. I can show Steam to my flat mates now without them thinking its some massive geek version of Live :p
New Webkit based browser is so much better than the IE6 implementation previously.
Lots of other great layout changes. The clock on the ingame overlay is useful too :p

My biggest complaint though is that there's too much white space. Can't help but look at it and feel like I need to trim it down some.

tried the beta last night but everytime I opened steam the window was just black so just went back to the original, Ill wait for it to hit final release before I adopt the new one, tho from the screenies I have seen it does look rather swish
 
Looks awesome, was only the other day wondering if they would ever update the ui as it was making my purdy desktop look bad. Big plus for them ditching the IE-only web interface from it.

Anyone had any issues with the shift+tab overlay in 3rd party games custom launched through steam? my keyboard now stops working in the game :(
 
lol yeah lost about 2-3GBs of CoH, was at 70% when I first logged in >.<

It's stil lthere just go to the download scren and click pause a few times and it goes back to full.

You can play the game even though it says downlaoding.
 
does pausing downloads in this version actually pause the downloads? Worlds biggest steam bug is saying "paused" and having it eat your bandwidth in the background :| especially with bandwidth limits
 
Its entirely possible they were trying a new UI for the Community in the beta when they broke peoples friends lists by mistake. So they maybe decided to play it safe for now.

new ui shouldn't have broken the backend. but there's a high chance they were attempting to add new features are completely wrecked the database in the process, hopefully some cool friends related feature :D
 
Bearing in mind this is a beta, I'm very hopeful.

To all those having problems/suggestions - make sure you feed them back to Steam!

I hope so, this really annoyed me while playing online and I couldn't figure out what was causing the high pings and lag.
