In Game Overlay - "Players" Information Removed

Prior to the update, there was a button that would allow you to see who is in your current server, who you recently played with, etc. This was the way to find people that you needed to block or add.

Now it is completely gone.

All of the right click menu options on the friends list have been broken as well. View profile doesn't do anything.

"Players" is still under "View" > "Players" in the main application, but there is no option to see this in the game overlay.

Is there any way to see what feedback Valve is paying attention to and may address?

Nope. They didn't care for our feedback last time, they probably don't really care this time.

This is a particularly egregious removal. The recent players list is near essential for dealing with hackers and griefers in games with especially poor anti-cheat implementations and no internal tools for blocking people (Elden Ring being a prominent example). I would strongly encourage Valve to address this ASAP before the new overlay gets implemented in the stable client. There's really no excuse for removing functionality like this.

We need to bring awareness to this issue.

I really hope this is addressed before the beta is pushed to main stream. This makes playing l4d2 multiplayer much more difficult.

True. Whenever i play l4d2 I always check peoples profiles to see how many hours they have in the game, that way i get a feeling of how good they are.
Also, not all games have a good integration with Steam or dont have a built in function to add friends, which means the "players" tab was the only way to add people, and now its gone.
