Valve announces library/store UI overhaul and Events (in dev. since at least 2017)
- Thread starter Chairmanchuck (另一个我)
- Start date
You should probably try to do some better research then, because they weren't silent at all. They were sharing updated mock ups of the design to developers last year too, months before the EGS was announced.
Stop making uninformed shitposts. Thanks.
Am i the only one who does not like how this looks at all...?
Here header is redesigned and fits
Here it looks out of place
Why client looks so inconsistent? Skins backwards compatibility or something?
Steam in general is a mish-mash of about 10 years of design with a lot of redunancy for what I can only assume is legacy support.
It think it's because they are close to finishing it, GDC is going on, and they want to inform the developer community about their plans there.
I think it's farfetched to call something "incredibly convenient" just because it had a pretty standard development cycle.
As you'll no doubt view literally everything that Steam does moving forward, in an era where EGS is merely present.

"This is clearly in response to Epic's actions from last month, the timing is too convenient!"
I.. actually think it looks kinda bad in those screenshots? Maybe i'll enjoy it more in motion, but something about it doesn't mesh with me.
It definitely looks more "modern" than the previous design, hopefully the new client will be a lot more keyboard friendly, which is my biggest complaint about current Steam. It's gonna be a long wait till summer...

The header isn't updated - that's why it doesn't fit.
This isn't a complete finished product, and that is blatantly obvious by the completely different styles and UI overlaps
They haven't discussed changes to the UIs of community, friends feeds, market, workshop , BPM, VR etc, nor have they discussed further new features on the way.
Probably. But their standards are too high in that case. They need to get staff to do some of the grunt work so things like this don't take literally years.
Maybe if they had a Steam team doing stuff like this, their game developers could focus on making games?
Sounds like consistent client design is few
+ another 5 years to make BPM usable for 50% of these features.
I really do NOT like that visual style for the library home itself, the like 15 billion different blurs and shadows and greys and gradients is really confusing and awful.
I like the layout, though, and they absolutely nailed the in-depth view. I just hope this isn't a laggy mess...

Getting in the beta ASAP. Hopefully there will be color options that eventually carry over to BPM. And that the client browser stops being slow garbage.
All I want is for this to go away:
Feels like everytime I touch this thing I have this popup it's so messy and ugly. Can't they backend it or do it while its open by now...
Run as admin, fix your installation or add that shortcut instruction. This shouldn't be happening (yeah, I know it's a common issue, but there's multiple fixes).
I don't play multiplayer currently either, but I follow multiple devs/games and having to check their posts/sales/progress/new game announcements on the Activity section of the client in the middle of friends getting achievements/wishlisting games/uploading screenshots is a pain, specially if I was away for a long time. If this incentives even more devs/pubs to use the news/their own pages to give me notices and the like, it's a huge upgrade IMO.
BPM is being redesigned, too, but as the GDC presentation focused on the desktop client, I assume BPM will be updated later down the track.
The news a while ago was that it would be part of the service included in the cut they're already taking, so no added costs.
I think Steam has been around and improving itself in increments like this forever now. And now people are looking for a way to credit Steam improvements to someone/something other than Steam, which is peak fanboyism. Folks seriously need to knock it off.
I disagree. I think it's good they are taking things slow. Constant redesigns and feature creep is what I hate the most about modern software(gmail anyone?). Redesigning steam steam isn't hard because making cool designs is difficult, it's hard because millions of people rely on it every day.
Yeah, the app was already out of date when it came out. Now it looks ridiculous on an XS Max. It's better to just browse the web store.
Nice. How big of a deal is something like that to devs? Does free dedicated servers help a lot in terms of money saving and usability?
Yeah, there's a clear history of that. Valve actually had a slide at GDC that shows it.
(Fun fact: that slide "only" showed 10 years, so the introduction of cloud saves and achievements wasn't even on the timeline)
are you using the beta client? if so go to settings and untick the option for the beta client.All I want is for this to go away:

For sure, I don't know if people don't just use Steam or something, but also chat, wishlist and DLC store pages were updated last year at different times. They've been slowly bringing the UI updates for some time.
Edit: Actually the DLC update was implemented this january.
