Steam has So Many BUGS Please Stop "Fixing" it

[LinuxPusher]

Please Stop fixing Steam you are breaking it,..on my system anyway
This is an Ongoing problem ever since the platforms amalgamated
Be nice if Steam went back to when it actually worked properly
Every now and then I come back to see if anything is fixed, Nope !
I am over 60 yrs old I don't have time to fix it every time I try to use it
Windows updated Video drivers updated etc etc etc
Stop Wasting my Valuable Limited Time
Yes I could just leave but I am a Paying Customer who bought a Lot of Games for a non gamer
Am I the only one willing to point out what a mess steam has become ?
FIX IT !
Sincerely
LP

What bugs are you referring to? You didn't mention them or on which OS version.

First, you're just yelling into the wind in this forum. Just you, me, and the rest of the users.

The devs haven't done anything major for a while now. Any updates lately have been fixing bugs.

Is there anything specific that you're having issues with that we can help you try to solve?

Steam and EA Fighting for control at launch so it FAILS to launch
It seems to work now going to check it now

Crysis was failing to launch I deleted it

Updates in download folder stated 10 GB as 1 example turned out to only be approx 800 MB

All my games use to just work no issues

Maybe I am just too old and impatient to play games now

I have literally 5 clients running at startup and they never 'conflict' with eachother

Sounds more like a local issue

[=LD=ka-bar]

I am 77 and not having any probs playing the games maybe just your rig.

Steam is where I acquired the games and use to simply launch with Steam
Thinking I need to have multiple platforms and launch Games
Crysis3 from the auto installed EA app on my win 10
I think Linux has tainted my expectations of Windows

Going to try multiple Games Clients
Going to reinstall steam and run sfc /scannow

Thanks!

That doesn't have anything to do with Steam or Valve. If a game doesn't work, you need to contact the developers of that game. Or post in that game's Steam forum to ask for help.

If your C: drive is full, that could explain why you're suddenly having trouble when things used to work.

Agreed, so many bugs that even the webclient is crashing now, please stop updating, Valve!

Please stop accusing steam of being buggy. There are many factors that could cause this. For example, if your car would not start, would you blame the gas station when it could be a number of other issues? Maybe your car locked up due to air flow issues, or the weather is too hot/cold could cause your engine to lock up? Or you forgot to put gas in it? If it is buggy, it is more likely you are having issues on your pc or operating system. If you have a complaint, forward it to your operating system developer or the person who sold you the pc.

You sound like the type of person who would buy a new car just because you forgot to put gas in it to start it.

Issues on games could be due to many factors.

Reminds me of a story of a friend i had in real life that could not figure out how to put oil in their car, so they blamed the car maker..lol.

Steam is buggy, just most of the overlooked bugs have been there so long, they are now considered "features".

My wife coined the phrase "Steam ♥♥♥♥-update" several years ago. Not going to bother with details as they obviously don't care anyway and they do NOT read these forums, even if they say someone does.
