Steam changes live!

Wild rice is highly over-rated... really rice in general is over-rated. Oh look poverty food with very little dietary value and a high glycemic value (you'd almost gain less weight if you just ate sugar) that's completely bland unless you add lots of spices to it. Atop all the fucking weeaboos eating it so they can be just like the characters in their japanese cartoons which are just as socially unaccepted in Japan's normal society as they are here in the US, and you've got a food that's both nutritionally and socially in bad taste to serve.

Also the store page takes for fucking ever to load when I start up Steam. Once it's loaded the first time it's fine, but till then I've got a nice 45 second wait for it to load up. Not the program itself mind you; as I can click to my games tab instantly, but that store.

Hardly anything loads for me in the new steam. Games & tools tabs load, but that's it. Can't view my profile, and if I click "change avatar" from the settings, it gives me a script error warning.

I really like "small mode" but clicking on just about anything pulls you out of small mode instead of creating scrollbars.

Big meh so far. Hoping the loading problems are temporary and due to maintenance or something.

Thank god for "small mode".


view > small mode

Thanks man, was looking for that!

otherwise i guess it's cool they improved, only now i have to spend some amount of time getting to know the new features and learn them. ahh well i don't wanna complain to hard, just feels a bit like a waist of time.

I think it need more a core update, not a UI update... maybe make games start up faster, Steam not lock-up as much, not use 200MBs of my RAM when not doing anything...

now that its off beta it is a little better, but it still uses about 4x more resources than the old steam at best.
I'm just sitting at the main store page and its eating up 100mb.

I really don't see a problem. Steam have had that old style for years and they finally make an advancement and everyone is like OMAOIGENEAOIRUGNAEW ITS USING MAH MEMORIEZ. Well duh, of course it will. As things progress they naturally get more resource intensive, but then so is computing power. On top of that, this still isn't the super final release anyway.

Anywhoo, I've been using this beta since about a week after the release and to be honest, I love it. As with anything new, it takes a week or so to get used to it but then it's just so much better than the old one. For me anyway. :d

My old Steam UI used to freeze a lot. This one doesn't.
