Valve rolls out big Steam client update with new Downloads Page & Storage Management
10 September 2021 at 3:07 pm UTC
Quoting: Eike
Quoting: SchattenspiegelStill taking ages to start the client. Wish they would at least add a a banner or something to indicate the client is loading.

Still wonder why this is the case for some and for some others not...

Might be raw single core power. Whatever it does the first minute or so it only seems to utilize one core at a time.

What's the size of your "localconfig.vdf" file inside "~/steam/userdata/youridnumber/config/" directory?

Does anyone happen to know which was the last version of proton-GE that Endless Space 2 worked with? With the two latest ones I get a crash on starting it.

Let's hope the ones crossing over do not come into contact with GNOME desktop first. Otherwise they might start to find windows 11 not so bad after all. ;-)
Creative Assembly in pre-production for the next Total War: THREE KINGDOMS

Quoting: GuestI would say mostly customers just don't care. I recall using the gathered data from Tomb Raider 2013 being used for PR campaigns about the game and nobody batted an eyelid.

Probably true in more than one way: the peeple that care may never bckome customers and the one that do...probably do not care.

Still not a smart move since you are basically communicating that you have absolutely nothing of significance to say about the product.
They may not lose the people that do not care about these things but they also do nothing to broaden the customer base. A simple "Look here! New game!" would have done a better job (less annoyance, same advertising). If I was paying them for marketing my product I would have serious questions about where they see themselves in a week or two from now.

Edit: Use as you see fit: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ;-)

I wonder when marketing teams will realise that highlighting data gathered by unnecessary in game analytics is not a smart move if they want to gain customers.
