So the latest ramp of official changes have rolled out fixing a few issues and adding new features, seems to be a whole lot more stable for me!
All Platforms
- Changed top level Steam navigation to highlight both You and the Steam Community
- Added new Community Home page which shows the most popular content across all games
- Improved handling of international characters in text entry fields
- Improved web proxy detection logic
- Fixed Steam UI glitches when navigating to a new page and quickly pressing the Stop button
- Fixed an issue where Back/Forward on web pages would forget the scroll position
- Fixed issues preventing some Counter-Strike owners from joining the Counter-Strike Beta
- Fixed issues relating to converting Counter-Strike to the new content download system
- Fixed problems with the web page load indicator
- Added automatic repair capabilities for critical Steam files, no internet connection required
- Fixed cases where Steam could get stuck in offline mode and be unable to launch
- Fixed a crash that could occur when cancelling a client update or repair operation
- Removed an error message that appeared when cancelling the client update process
- Fixed a problem with re-installing Half Life 1 after uninstalling related game mods
- Fixed an issue that prevented users from claiming games bundled with special hardware promotions
Windows
- Added an error message when unable to launch due to an inaccessible folder name
- Fixed downloading video driver updates
- Improved reliability of client updates when interrupted by system reboot or power loss
Linux
- Fixed an issue where Steam was briefly unresponsive while uploading error reports
- Fixed Big Picture Mode window losing focus after a game quits
- Suppressed the new driver popup when running in Big Picture Mode
- Updated runtime with the final SDL 2.0 ABI
This seems to have fixed the weird lag I was getting on the right click menu on the Steam icon and the client seems a bit faster too!
