Screenshots not loading
Normally if you go onto your Library and onto any game on the right side there will be Tabs like for example: Achievements, Controller, Notes etc.
and there will also be Screenshots!

But nomatter what game or if I have Screenshots in the game it just doesnt show up it just says: "You haven't taken any Screenshot yet."... etc. like it just says the text that is there when you have no Screenshots and that not the case with me, or any of my games.

Also if I then proceed to go onto the game in the library and go on a Screenshot that I see in my Activity of the game it just is empty like I have no Screenshot + the "View on Disk" Button doesnt work aswell.
(Also if any one wanna Speculate this: It also doesnt show any pictures if I actully start the game then open the Steam Ingame Menu and then go to Screenshots.)

But if I go into the Directory of the Screenshots Folder into any game with Screenshots there is all Screenshots like I have all of them.

P.S. Im not sure if this is a Bug or just a Discussion cause im not sure if im the only one having this issue. "Pls Help."

I had to do a trick I read somewhere in the forums.
Exit Steam and go to to your screenshots folder located in "Steam\userdata\YOURUSERNUMBER\760" and delete the "screenshots.vdf" file (or move it to another folder as back up) and launch Steam.
Give it a moment and screenshots will start to appear again and the manager will work normally.

Did it work for you?

Yes it did. In case you have any issue, don't delete the file, move it and then restore it with Steam closed. But it should work, give it a few minutes and Steam will rebuild the file and the screenshots will start appearing again in your library and manager.

Just to add (it) to this bug Diskussion you need to load all the Screenshot by going into the Screenshot Manager, and in the Top Left Corner Selecting every single game by itself so you go through the games. Its for everything to load into the .vdf file. (At least I had to do that.)

Turns out there's an earlier discovery

Seems like things have improved with the Game Recording beta.
