Stop the "Waiting for network" screen on startup
It's really annoying because I load the web browser and am about to type something or select a tab that I already have open and this window appears and stays there for about 10 seconds before closing.

It never used to do this so why is it not possible to stop it from appearing?

I've tried adding a parameter -silent but that has made no difference whatsoever.

I preferred the previous version if I'm honest. It worked really well for me without any issues at all.

I agree so I adjusted a workaround,
When I start my FSX X I di it via cmd script anyway, so I added some code up front to see if STEAM already running and if it is WHALAH no splash screen.
Only 1 long start of steam per dsy after system is turned on
works for me anyway...


tasklist /fi "ImageName eq steam.exe" /fo csv 2>NUL | find /I "steam.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" goto :steamisrunning

:steamisnotrunning

start "" C:\Steam\steam.exe -nochatui -nofriendsui -silent

timeout 30
:steamisrunning
echo Program is running

Thanks for the info. I think it's a good interim solution but I think if there was one that would stop the splash screen all the time, that would be awesome. I wish the DEVS would just sort this out once and for all.

Couldn't stand the annoying popup. So much so, I had to disable Steam on system startup.

It's actually kind of ridiculous. I have a windows handheld and it shifts the focus from playnite essentially not making my games selection full screen anymore. Very very annoying.

They really need to have an option to start Steam minimised with zero splash screens, zero popups, and zero focus stealing..

Agree 100%. It's like they've added an option that isn't needed or wanted. I know it's for information but I think it would be better to show the message if there's a problem connecting to the network, so say after 30 seconds, if it still hasn't connected, then show a message.

Not sure why the people at Steam aren't looking at these messages or if they are, why they're not fixing this issue.

What's weird is this hasn't been a problem for me for a long time, it's become hidden and only rarely ever shows up.

I think it started again when I logged out of the machine or it did an update. It was very odd. I thought the devs had stopped the notification until it started showing again.

This has been bothering me for a long time... Sure, I play videogames. Sure, videogames are probably how I spend the vast majority of my computer time at home... But even if I'm going to be playing a game immediately, I'm going to get on my web browser first, or something, so I can alt+tab out. I keep getting these half typed search queries and web addresses before Steam steals the focus away and it is infuriating. I'm going to disable it on startup if this isn't fixed by the end of the year... It's been like this for way too long to have been an accident. I would literally pay money to stop this from happening.

Totally agree. It wasn't there before but for some reason, they decided to put it on the startup and I think it would be better if it alerted if there was a problem with it connecting to the server, rather than saying "connecting to server" then disappearing when it has done!

I completely agree with this. I really hate useless pop-ups.

I don't know why programmers put this in their software these days. Do they hate us that much?

I think it's informative but in the wrong way. It should pop up if there's a problem connecting. If it connects okay, then that's fine, but I don't need to know if it's connected okay, only if it does connect properly in my opinion, or at least give the option to turn it off.

Heres an AHK script that launches steam, hides the sign in window, waits for the shutdown window, and hides that too, along with steam at that point, then exits the script.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-cbf_qEf8QWaJMWYYRxMwzUjkSWxIM4_/view?usp=sharing

Results are about a half a second of any windows popping up, other than going directly into the shell DLLs and making it a big deal for folks to use, this is a drop in that you can include in your startup procedures.

Runs on AHK 1.1.37.01

Compiling it into an exe makes it "slightly" faster, and for the sake of completion here it is, the script finds the steam exe location in the registry and launches it, regardless of where it is installed (allegedly, I'm sure someone here can break that lol)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N0kMM1A1kP3TusZ7N6CdZINHC4tahxWj/view?usp=sharing

You can compile your own exes for custom directory locations, arguments, big picture mode, etc via https://github.com/AutoHotkey/Ahk2Exe

If you are using/compiling your own EXE, you do not need to install AHK, otherwise:

Simple install:
1. Download AHK 1.1 https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe
2. Copy the script wherever
3. Double click the script or put a shortcut to it in startup (Win+R, Shell:startup) etc

** If you need to log in, just run steam normally, the sign in window is also the splash screen.
- The script can be killed at any time in your taskbar system tray.
- Once the sign in/splash window launches it is instantly closed, steam loads in the
background (yay).
- Play your games, use the steam system tray steam, game library etc will work just fine.
- When you exit steam it will hide the shutdown window and the steam window instantly.

Cheers
