Steam UI Update

It never ends does it?

I can't connect to any game.
 
Then switch back to the normal client, not rocket science!

Beta clients have always had issues with some games, that's why they're opt in. One the other week would kill my gmod.
 
Reading the Steam forums about this update is depressing. It's only just been released to beta, and already you've got tons of people moaning about performance and the way things are laid out, etc. It seems to have totally slipped by them that it's probably going to be in beta for a couple of months at least, and will see numerous changes and fixes before going final. Bunch of whiners. :p

Anyway, I think it's a decent upgrade over the old client, and with some tweaking and changes is going to offer much improved functionality over the old client UI.
 
I don't read steam forums unless I want to know the status of any major issues.. because they're all a bunch of retards over there. Valve knows this as well, don't think they even read the forums any more :)
 
Are you kidding? There are some comic genius' over there at the Steam Forums. The VAC section is a gold mine for hilarious threads.
 
The ONLY enhancement I've ever wanted in Steam was the ability to put a small block of notes against 'friends' to remind you who they might be. ie: If they're just a distant contact, remind you who the individual "ah1118blob" might actually be (eg: "Mike's brother")!

Bet you we've got loads of flashy graphics and whizzy nonsense, but not that :(

Apparently a lot of mac games from EA are ported using cider. I guess its not out of question for valve to do the same for their newer games (or even their back catalogues). Guess it would be wishing too much for a native port of the source engine though?

I would like that too. Make a thread on the forums?
 
you're not going to get a ported source engine, but mac client will be awesome :D might limit you to games which are marked as mac compatible only though, we'll have to wait and see :D

No, they may not natively port the source engine, but they might port future games using cider, as EA do. I said this above.

This would be very useful, I know I've annoyed a couple of people in the past when spamming L$D invites even though they don't have the game.

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.

I get the feeling it wil be for peggle, plants vs zombies and other "casual" games rather than big name ones.
