It's not just broken - it's ugly. I don't like the new font or new layouts for the menu windows at all. The top bar looks horrible and seems like it's squished into less space than the old one. I prefer the old one and no, not just because it's what I'm used to. It looked better and was easier to use. Not a big fan of the new install popup either, I can't tell if Steam is actually installing to the spot I've selected or not but previously I was 100% sure it was installing where I wanted it to install because it was the only location shown. I get why they want to show all the options and available space, and that's a good thing, but having one option highlighted while another has a star on it is a little confusing and it's not explained at all.

I noticed that the back button/key doesn't work properly now, it tends to just re-load the current page but sometimes it will go back properly. It's very... intermittent and is clearly broken.

Starting multiple game updates is a headache (and has been since the previous update) because the page jumps around every time I click to start a download. Why they haven't implemented a "download all" button is beyond me. I never leave the games to download on their own on the download schedule, I always just start all downloads so it's a massive pain when I've got 20-30 games that are all trying to update.

I really wish Steam would let us choose "skins" so we can have the layouts and the overall look that we want. Keep new functions, allow old layouts/looks.

Lots of other little annoying things in this one, too... it's probably the worst update from the last few years.

Agree. This is the worst update I have ever encountered on Steam. Everything is so slow now.

Also a Family View Bug, I can not purchase any games because it thinks i am in family view, which i turned off when i launched Steam so i could browse the Store. It tells me my Pin code is incorrect as well.

i cant use shortcuts to login, the launcher is ignoring the
"-login"
command switch.

i had the same problem in the beta, reported the issue and reverted back to the stable build, apparently it was ignored.

[Hello My Name Is Inigo Montoya]

am i just stuck with n mobile steam limbo forever…. still no fix

I don't mind the UI as much as I mind the BUGS. Obvious bugs and bugs that were reported in beta and not fixed. And none of them will be fixed in "2 weeks" these will be around for YEARS. Really tells you what Valve thinks of their customer.

[Hello My Name Is Inigo Montoya]

the blank library bug has been around since they updated the library like 7 years??? now it’s worse

Is it still possible to install your own skin ? Cant seem to find the option to change skin :C

this new update is absolute trash. Steam trying to sabotage themselves into becoming a bad as the epic launcher.

steam, fire your bad UX team.

They are treating customers like employees:
Let me explain, at a typical place of business, you'll see internal-software hastily rushed out
the door, because the other non-technical office-workers are there anyway, getting paid,
so there's need to make the software "gold plated" so to speak; no need to make it perfect.

but we're customers, not coworkers.

Here's something that might help as a backup plan : Create desktop shortcuts for all games, so they can be started without the steam-client..? I've not been doing that, but I'm doing it now.

kind regards,

my friend found a way to revert to the old one https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2990359595
