Valve test app?

My steam games list now shows an entry called valvetestapp490, what the hell is this?

Anyone else got the same?

Geckovich · 27 Jul 2009 at 19:17

I've been using steam since HL2 was released and I've never seen anything like it.

Was about to post - not in my games list.

Then I've just noticed it today in my installed games.

I tried, "this game is not available".

I saw it. I tried it and it said 'this game is no longer available for free', then it disappeared once i clicked OK.

Mahnsikir · 27 Jul 2009 at 20:21

I got this game is no longer available for free.. i wanted my free non existant game

Skeeter · 27 Jul 2009 at 20:24

Update to Lost Coast? Thats the only test type game I can think of from Valve

Anyone searched the Steam forums (I avoid them like the plauge!)?

I saw it, clicked it.

"servers are busy"

Tried to play CoD4

Clicked it again and said "no long available for free"

Skeeter · 27 Jul 2009 at 20:35

Aparently its a component of steam that has been updated and now bugs and shows in the games list.

Buckster · 27 Jul 2009 at 20:44

ValveTestApp490

Guys it's winui.gcf. It recently updated and now there's a bug that's making it show up in your games list. It's been there since the beginning of Steam.
