New Steam UI

[fd18e3d0-816e-11e4-b4a9-0800200c9a66]

I like the new UI. The old UI was clean and simple but its nice to have a change.
Also it seems to run faster for me

It's a lot more jazzy and overall it is better looking than the old one.

But at the mo for me at least it's a little slugish, and I'm still getting used to the new layout, but as has been previously said it's still at beta so it can only improve.

It sucks ass.It is also slow and constantly freezes. Plus it deleted my modern warfare and I'll have to download 11 gigs now...

Also a friend of mine got his friends list wiped and letters wont display on his screen.

Maybe your computer cant handle it? I mean my computer is something that came out of a god forsaken landfill with low low low budget and cheap hardware and I never have any slowing or freezing (except one freeze, just made me update the client).

Also, if it was MW2 that was deleted, just save yourself the trouble and dont re-download it.

*Casts Flameward*

My PC is pretty decent and it can run every newest game with no slow downs so I assume that steam is just buggy and horribly optimized.

As for MW2... Yeah I thought about that too, haven't played for at least a week or two anyways...

My feelings? pointless... people who like the old look will be dissapointed, those who didn't would think meh. Basically a new skin.

 

[Kajt]

I bloody love it. Especially the new in-game browser, clock and news.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

apart from the major bugs its muh more user friendly and i loved it from the first second so hopefully they keep this because it just "looks" more up to speed on modern day compared to the old one

 

[Dexiro]

I think it's a massive improvement ^^

The UI used to be so slow and clunky for me. Now it's a lot cleaner and faster!
The different display formats for the Library are really nice.

Oh but it's more than just a simple new skin. Take a time browsing all the new stuff, and you see it's more than a new makeover.

You actually have a working webrowser inside the Steam Overlay and a bloody clock! The game library also has more functions, the new download manager is great, the way you navigate through the steam store is much improved, and a whole lota new stuff.

 

[Faraldd]

Looks neat, have to give it a try, I never liked the old UI to be honest. Maybe because it was "hard" to navigate, hope this is simpler for me. =P

 

[Voodoomancer]

The biggest issues with it is (besides MW2 redownload) is you get no community/store pages, but that's okay for me, because it saves money.

xD

Steam, helping you through the recession.

 

[Reboare]

It's pretty good. Much easier to use and woot, there's a clock on the overlay. Also it looks bloody brilliant compared to what it was.

The beta has been out for a while.
And it's bad. Very buggy.

Did you leave the beta early on? A few testshell errors and some early bugs aside, and the occasional failure to load the big icons in the Grid view, I think it's actually quite stable. It has a load more features than the old version, and overall I think it's an improvement, even in beta.

 

[mrfusspot]

I like it. Feels much more modern and updated than the last UI was. Will certainly become my new default UI.

 

[Timbydude]

I tried it a little while ago, and I liked the look of it, but it kept crashing and I couldn't buy games.

They really better fix that before it officially launches...

It's quite stable now. Haven't had no bugs, crashes pr strange lights flickering for quite some time. The new Steam Overlay actually holds on for more than a couple of minutes and all.

Which also coincides with the beta going full version in a couple of weeks so I guess the major bugs, crashes, bad decisions are all ironed out.

 

[Valdsator]

I don't like the width of the game list, but it's alright. Nice and shiny.

 

[ethaninja]

I just don't understand why they did it.

 

[Snarky Username]

It looks good so far. I'm sure it could be great with some more polishing

Really? Hmm. Downloading now to see if this is true. Thanks for the heads-up; as I said before, I love the actual look of the UI.

I just don't understand why they did it.

Why not change it up? We've been looking at the same thing for years now. I'm happy they're at least trying to revamp it.
