Steam UI Update

Disjunto said:
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

Very Windows Media Center.

Don't like the graidient effect though, you just don't have text on gradients.

This.

On the whole the UI is great, and no more IE makes Lyon a very happy man, but there are a few styling issues I'm not happy about. In some areas it looks like they told the work experience kid to make it look as Web 2.0 as possible.

Edit: It would also be nice if they made a bigger deal for mods on the store, I can't seem to even find the mod section any more.

FFS. I really wish I hadn't downloaded this. It wants to download the whole of MW2 :(

EDIT - I am convinced something is throttling Steams bandwidth. Every time I download something (day or night) - it always goes at 60k/sec

EDIT 2 - Do I have to download MW2 again? 60k/sec will take ages (even though I am on a 8mb connection). I have the disc. If I opt out of the beta, wishful thinking that it will revert back?

Share your feedback then, there's a big button in the top right hand corner for it. Don't forget, it is still only a Beta client.

Overall it does look nice and I like the extra game info like who has what game but it's very laggy, takes ages to do anything.

Already am doing mate. On the whole I think it's great though. It works better than anyone should expect for a Beta (except for that deleting MW2 thing, or maybe that's a good thing too :D)

Just go to the download page and pause ti then try running the game.

Youdon't have to redownload it.
 
Wow this update is beyond crap. Slow interface as Antar mentioned, download settings has gone - so I can't try the "change location" trick and stuck at 60k/sec and my install of MW2 has gone (some people on Steam forums mentioning that once MW2 was reinstalled - it stopped working and needed uninstalling then another reinstall). Thanks a lot Steam.
 
Looks less polished and a bit 'information overload'.

I preferred the old style games list, favourites, installed then not installed. Rather than having the not installed mixed up with your favourites and installed.

Obviously it's still super beta, it'll get better :)

Edit: Also don't give a crap about Achievements, wish there was a way to hide / remove them from the game info page.

The library system is a vast vast improvement. Really looks good now. The store also feels a lot snappier: obviously a lot of code optimisation and really working IE rendering engine. Perhaps they moved from IE6 to IE7

EDIT: In fact they have removed the IE screenshot window popup by including it in the store, very nice.

They're using WebKit now, not IE.

just uninstall and reinstall from disc?

Won't my stats go though (has taking me ages to get to lv45)? It seems a drastic thing to do (re-download game) from an update, surely all they need to keep are the stats/profiles via cloud.

EDIT - Another thing, many only seem to be downloading 3/4gbs for MW2. Earlier I said I had to download whole thing again - I was wrong, as the figure kept creeping up and has settled now. For some reason I have to download 7Gb, less than 40mins gone and it has just reached 100mb :(

EDIT 2 - I know I am ranting. This UI half crashes on almost any task I try and do.#

EDIT 3 - I think I may have the problem I mentioned earlier. For people who have to download MW2 MP again, does your SP work? Just tried to open the SP, doesn't come up with "launch game tab" like the MP does. Just after I click though, an error comes up with "Could not load localization.txt - Please make sure MW2 is run from the current folder". Other people seem to have this error even when the MP has finished downloading. If I stop the download, will I be able to uninstall MW2 fully? And can I reinstall and still save my settings (SP & MP)?

Or leave the beta and see if it comes back.

What do you think a beta is for?

Oh and Tefal, but then I can't see what games I don't have installed and my favourites :[ There was nothing wrong with the old interface.
 
Seems to have worked fine for me. Need to fully investigate when I get home and not via RDC but looks good.

For some reason I did have to download 150mb's worth of patch again for TF2, meh.
