Minified React error #185

I simply clicked on the screenshot manager and this message appeared

following the link, the info shown is:

"
The full text of the error you just encountered is:
Maximum update depth exceeded. This can happen when a component repeatedly calls setState inside componentWillUpdate or componentDidUpdate. React limits the number of nested updates to prevent infinite loops.

It means someone working on the new ReactJS-based UI components that build the UI for the new Chromium-all-the-way-down Desktop UI, made a screw-up.

ReactJS is a development toolkit for UI components that's based on reactive state.
That is: if X changes its value, then 'do something' where X is being consumed.
That can be in a bit of UI that is meant to render X's value.
That could also be in a derived property for instance Y = 2 * X, which computes a new value for Y, so that Y changes, so that you have to 'do something' wherever Y is being consumed.

Problems start if you made a mess of your application architecture to the point that that dependency graph has cycles in it.

Because at that point an update to X can flow in never-ending circles.
As a precaution, as soon as an update cycle starts, React starts bookkeeping the depth of the update, i.e. the length of the chain of dependency hops. And as soon as that goes too deep, it bails.

It's kind of crude, but it works. (A better way would be a mark-and-sweep algorithm that cycle-breaks when a dependency relationship that was already traversed earlier, ends up wanting to traverse again. But it's also more expensive to book keep. So the trade off is to just do it the crude but low-resource way.)


There's nothing you can do here to stop this from happening.
Other than opening a bug report for it on the Steam beta forums (which do in fact take reports for the stable client as well) and then waiting it out.

Occrurs mostly on Download tab

I have also been having this issue over the past week. Finally got around to looking into it because it's so freaking annoying.

[DaftCanuck]

Just ran in to this issue on the downloads tab. Fantastic work Steam devs.

[Cuddle Cactus]

I just got it as well, whenever I hover over stuff in downloads to X it to be unscheduled.

[orbrover]

+1

Edit: It eventually fixed itself. 25Aug2023

[Pizzaman]

This problem still exists. Are the devs even working on this?

[rogermorse]

same for me

[Pizzaman]

The Problem is STILL NOT FIXED.

Reading this and the amount of people affected by it ... you wouldn't believe, if someone told you that this is one of the biggest Game Platforms in the world.

[naz239]

not fixed. It is very common on developer sale page doing mouseover on some games.

[Woof ᴰᵒʷᵍᵍʸ]

Still unfixed, I get this while trying to scroll in the screenshot manager (I take a lot of screenshots)

Someone please reply to me in the future f there is a fix

[naz239]

More or less fixed deleting all info cookies, etc for steam but its boring do it, relogin etc

[Pizzaman]

Aaaaaaand it's still not fixed.

If you happen to be on a chromium based browser, such as Google Chrome, Brave, etc:
1. Go to chrome://flags/#fingerprinting-client-rects-noise in the url bar
2. Make sure it is turned off / disabled
3. Relaunch browser, this should fix it.
