Friend list not updating - BUG since update of UI

[T9]

Hi,

the friend list frame one can open via: right-click Steam in tray, friends
and the friend list one can open via: <Name>, friends

isn't synced and the friend list FRAME isn't updated at all sometimes. People are shown as online who are offline for a long time, play activities etc. aren't correct.

Anyone else?

What? I'm not experiencing the issue you have. I've played on my PC and internet cafe for a week when I was away from home so basically I've been using 10+ PCs with Steam on it since the "update of UI".

In my personal experience, I have to say big no. How about uninstall Steam and reinstall again?

Are you using any app, or custom firewall to mess with Steam itself?

If no, then I can suggest redownload the client, go to where you install Steam, delete everything except for Steamapp folder, and Steam.exe file, once done run steam.exe file, and test to see if issue resolved.

hm ok thank you both. I am going to try a reinstall

Reinstalled, settings deleted, etc

Both "lists" stll show different things

The friend frame/window shows a person playing Baldur's Gate 3 and the other list shows them as normal online without activity.

I am puzzled a f xD

Contact Steam Support regarding your issue if you want it to get fixed.

If you wish the community to have it fixed it instead that has to go with talking about who's that friend of yours which meant dropping the friend's name or making your friend's list public.

So yeah why do that when you can have Steam support do it for you?

Well, I am here for some kind of brain storming about what the general issue could be. Reading my friend list wouldn't bring anything to the table for you.
It doesn't matter what friend or so. It was just an example. It is not always the same person.

It's not the end of the world, it is just weird

ok a friend had the issue that a chat window in the overlay isn't as up to date as the chat window outside.
I think, Steam is still sorting out a lot of hickups here lol

I think, we can stop here and I just wait for updates. Thanks

Or as a quick other way around that slow Valve's actually fixing Steam since they purposedly broke it with this August's 1st update because they simply wanted users not to be able to use the former Steam's UI (User Interface) when using the "-vgui" command prompt. And also because they want to enforce us to use their new eye candy resource hog of an UI instead of a practical, and resource effective one like the previous was.
As a stable workaround a few members of the community already found a reversal fix for this latest Valve's attempted crappier than thou stunt.

I've had a bug now for the last few weeks with the new UI and friends list. When first going online with the friends list, it will be blank. I have to close it out, and re-open it again for my friends to appear.

also can't see myself on friends list LOL no matter what settings i keep tweaking.

bunch of issues with the steam UI changes... which still hasnt been addressed ....
