The new Steam library is in open beta now. Have you tried it? How badly do you hate it?

You can't and your image doesn't show otherwise

but dude don't you want to see the ~epic memes~ people are posting about YOUR favorite video game??

thecoverproject.net/index.php

What are some other good sites to hound for game covers lads?

They're literally sorted by last played and can be filtered by category
are you trying to troll me

Yes, but is there somewhere that hosts cover art?

I like that it shows a more detailed achievement list and card collection. Nice to see those up-front instead of being buried in other pages.

Being able to search and filter my own library is great. I have so many games I forget what I actually have and I've already been re-introduced to some when I was searching specific genres.

It's an unfinished mess, reverted back in less than 5 minutes.

Oh fuck off obviously I meant my custom tagged categories

???

as a graphic designer this physically hurts me beyond the experience of a regular user

how could they fuck up such simple concepts such as "if you make shit bigger then you get less information shown on screen" or "vertical covers have literally never been good for a digital interface"

Attached: you are afraid.jpg (500x473, 116K)

after my initial tantrum, I have started to enjoy it a little, just because I find the categories a very interesting feature
other than this, it is such a mess
really bad performance
some odd design decisions like having an ALL list and a categorized list separated, and having the grid and the detailed view into the same window, which is kind of retarded, because the selected stuff on the left is not on the right half the time
also, if you search for something the results appear in the list view, but not in the grid view, so it is pretty much stupid

Wait, can't forget that even though Steam is a PC platform and has it's own separate "console" view for people playing on a TV with a controller, they STILL super-sized all the buttons and interface elements to make it more console-like. What is even the point?

Why can't I make collection that does NOT contain a certain tag?
I want to make a collection for strategy games but like 50 rpgs are categorized as strategy games, and I already have a collection for those.

In general I like the update but this one thing seems so basic am I just a fucking retard that is not seeing how to do it?

You're either just retarded or a troll.

>enable low bandwidth mode

Imagine not being retarded.

Now try sorting it by recent activity and watch in awe as they get grouped by when you played them even though that's checked

like 30 f2p games i've played once or twice have been added to my library, annoying
the categories system is cool but i wish you could add more tags straight from the store beyond the 8 or so basic ones they have right now
its an improvement for sure tho

I also had bad performance, and I checked the interface tab in settings and there seems to be new hardware acceleration options that made everything perform much better

I dislike it, it's awful.

I rather use the epic fail store

>have to lie about your internet connection to get rid of pointless bullshit
hello valve community manager, thank you for stopping by our humble ""web forum"".

Yeah, every thing you have ever downloaded is now a part of your library and collection now. Categories already existed, you just right clicked on things to add them before. Now you have to click to a different screen to add them.

>i use small mode
Not for much longer.

Attached: 1544440481912.jpg (225x224, 8K)

the tag system could work if you could both add or subtract from a set of results, but not just add
also half the tags on steam are retarded after they censored them
a lot of shitty games include the horror tag just because it is le funny

basically, the ALL category should go along the other filtered categories
you should have the possibility to add search terms to categories, so that if I want to have a Batman category, I could add an auto category with the search "batman", and not just the platform meme tags
also, let me add or remove tags from the category, aka I want survival horror AND ! le funny
also support franchises, using the devs info used in their respective communities
also support publishers as tags the same way, so you can have Capcom automatic category

thank you, lad

I pulled this from google images and even this is better than what Steam has. It's just a list of video games that you own. That's it. That's all a video game launcher needs to show you, not some twitter-clone "feed" of content to maximize engagement metrics.

There's a search field literally called "store tags" where you can do just that.

But can anyone tell me why fucking Life is Strange shows up in my library? I never played this game, I never installed this game, I even have it set as "ignored" on the Store, so why is this shit sitting in my library? And this isn't about me being able to hide it, I know I can do that and I have, I want to know why I had to do it in the first place

So sad, I don't want this fucking feed shit, I want to play a video game and I want to have my hours counted, not more.

What a time to be alive

The old version didn't let you either because last played is treated as a category.
This one can both sort and filter results on things more than just title strings.
I don't know why you're complaining about the lack of a feature that wasn't there to begin with.

I just found it, not only does it not do SHIT, setting things to Small size only affects the right hand content, not the list itself

also why the fuck is "home" section gray and the other sections blue? is this some kind of autism test?

Probably from a free demo. Even free games that were delisted or taken down are showing up. I have listings from games that went down years ago and aren't even available in the store anymore (that f2p GiTS game I tried for a weekend). They're totally unplayable and uninstallable of course, but now I get a useless oversized thumbnail taking up space in my library now.

if you can't hide it by default i honest to god hope they at least add a DELETE ALL button at some point

They're trying real hard to cater to the devs who bitch their game isn't selling due to "exposure" when that's not why anyone is touching trash

They're improving it but its far from being the ultimate launcher right now since you still need to have other launchers running in the background to launch/update games and only the GOG friends list is available

It does automatically add your achievements and playtime from other platforms which is nice I guess

Discord got rid of their games

What's the matter? You don't like the sick new webgl animation that plays every time you hover over a cover? user, the designers they hired from San Francisco worked so hard to build it in Electron for you!

Can anyone give me an actual non-meme answer about the pros and cons of the update?

it has choppy scrolling, I can't choose a banner only mode and it lacks the customization i wanted.

Valve needs to develop a new client because using steam feels fucking slow

It's shit. Bring back the green boxes.

Discord still works as an all-in-one launcher that people use to launch games from other stores and see what friends are playing though. Ironically, it's a much better one because it's literally just a list of games you've played with zero bullshit tacked on to the side. I guess because they know you're already there to talk to your friends there's no need to tack on an endless social media feed beneath every game.

>Discord still works as an all-in-one launcher that people use to launch games from other stores and see what friends are playing though
No one does that. Group chat and VOIP are the only shit people care about.

I mean, there is plenty of eye candy here, but the performance is quite bad when scrolling the cover list

>add new shelf
>sort by last played

It's pretty fucking rough around the edges but as long as it's a beta and they actually improve upon it, I can see it being pretty good.

...

Kinda laggy because of the artwork not being on the actual computer but rather being online pictures like a store page so it needs to download them and load them up. Easy way of fixing that is to have one downloaded along with the game so that way it wouldn't have to load it up. Oh, and the Recent shelf is shit.

Other than that, it's fine to me.

Attached: 1448314307678.jpg (930x930, 89K)

I didn't say people did it, I just don't think it's surprising that Steam would do this to try and compete. They're already trying to compete with Epic by badly aping their storefront appearance so it wouldn't be surprising. They should just focus on what they're good instead of messing up things that already work fine for everyone. Literally nobody complained about Steam's library appearance.

News to me. That makes a lot of sense, but mostly my point is about a community focused UI that connects the games more to the discussion pages
Personally I think it looks "better" in the sense that Discord has had a more modern UI that Valve has obviously been trying to imitate. I think it's probably a good thing for live streaming and game discussion, or at least it might be what prevents them from dying entirely. I suspect that Valve is trying to do what everybody else does but all in one place, and this is a solid step toward that. I'm not sure if it will work, but I might be able to get used to it.

Why is western UI and webdesign so shit this decade?
Look up Yahoo.jp and Yahoo.com.
I don't want giant pictures and buttons as if I am a toddler.

lmao I totally forgot Steam added this "feature". Does anyone even use it?

It's awful, full of useless bullshit, slow and laggy

The right picture is even worse, it looks straight out of the late 90's. You've got to be a massive weeb to think that shit actually looks good.

Unironically yes. Which is pretty surprising, it's actually ser indie devs with a somewhat built up community that use it.

And Steam is trying to copy the worst of it unfortunately.

Just got the beta library and I agree with you on western designs going to shit. Also, this is running pretty slowly.

It sells, and that's business. I don't like it much either, but it works across different form factors better than Steam's legacy design.
They were promoting a dev stream of Gears 5 on its store page. I don't know how they plan to expand on it, but I'm betting that they will. Now seems to be a more saturated time than ever, so there's potential for change.

I'm not a weeb, I am Asian though. I prefer the simplicity and knowing where to find shit rather than digging through pages of giant slow loading images and 3D effects that make the sites harder to navigate.

It's fine. Currently it seems to have some bug which causes GPU load even when its only displaying static content on some pages, but it seems that it stops if you toggle Low Performance mode. Before the update I just had a list sorted by my most recently played titles, this new version lets me do the same. I'm really glad I still get my list and they haven't gone full retard with covers only or something like that. I guess seeing news about the games I play is kinda nice and collections seem like a useful feature, though not one I expect to personally use that much. There also seems to be another bug where this new interface thinks I'm not logged in, despite me browsing my own library from Steam itself, plus it uses a pig disgusting amount of memory.

These covers were a bad idea, though. Not only are they missing for a lot of games (makes sense, not really Valve's fault or anything they could realistically do to get devs to add them), but they're pretty unreadable. Most of these covers weren't designed to be easily readable at such a small size, especially not the banners. They need to add an option to display the title under the cover or something, at least you could see what the fuck you're looking at without squinting at a tiny cover, or even worse an even tinier banner squeezed into a tiny cover.

I hope they get the bugs ironed out and ideally they'd reduce memory use by an order of magnitude, since this is abhorrently disgusting for a fucking interface which displays text and pictures, but that's not going to happen since it's probably running Electron or some other browser-borne abomination. Ah well, good thing I have more RAM than I really need.

Everything involving the library. Game pages, and updates really.

Linux user here. Is the new library slow on Windows too?

It expanded all my categories, most of which were collapsed. But I guess that's okay. I only had so many collapsed categories because I had categorized games in two ways:

* by completion status (unplayed, finished, etc.)
* by series (e.g., a category for all Doom games -- which, by the way, are not all adjacent in alphabetical order, hence the need for such categories -- etc.)

I had the completion rate categories expanded and the series categories collapsed because I didn't need to see everything twice all the time. But the completion rate stuff is automatic now, so I can stop tracking that manually, and just have a category for each series.

It's like I'm 14 again and have to manually add album art to WinAmp/Foobar

I guess the way Steam is going to battle the Vault services craze is by listing the free to play stuff on every library, so suddenly you have 300 more games and get the same sense of vidya vault without paying a dime

>displaying seconds in your time

WAIT YOU'RE NOT EVEN A REAL FRENCHY? YOU'RE A FUCKING KEKNADIA FRENCHY?

Seriously. Every game on Steam has a wide image, so as of now I'm thinking they should have just stuck with that aspect ratio. I'm guessing all the popular games will get portrait-oriented images soon, but it will probably never happen for all the obscure indie games.

How do I make the free to play games fuck off from my library without doing it manually, how do I stop seeing shit that shows up in the activity feed under every game now

I'll wait for the official release, but far FAR too many developers seem to believe in the motto 'if it ain't broke, lets change everything and fuck it all up plus add more bugs'. So let's just say I'm not too thrilled with what's coming. Guess we'll see...

I wish, but I'm stuck with Pit People Beta and a ton of shit for Company of Heroes. I'd get rid of the latter, but I got it on a bundle with Darksiders, so it'd remove that game too!

its way better and way faster than the old one, i like it

The only thing I sort of like about it is the individual game pages. The long banners, trading card and achievement details, and news / community stuff all on one page is very nice.

The rest of the UI is trash, though.

>He still believes valve feedback reports work
I still remember back in 2014 when I wrote a bunch of detailed reports about big picture stuff, and to this very day the bugs are still there, with no end in sight
it is sad to say this, but Valve literally ignore everything because there is always a "rewrite" incoming
it's their excuse to not fix any bugs
"wait for the new library"

That category view actually looks nice. I just wish everything weren't sluggish. I assume it will be optimized though.

the home page is the worst part easily

why yours are colored and mine are all blue, lad?

I find it bizarre that they would do a beta, create a forum for beta feedback, and then ignore all feedback. Getting feedback from users is literally the sole purpose of a public beta.

>activating games you wouldn't play rather than trading/giving them away to anons that will play them

After looking at it closer it is actually only about 130 unplayed because it counted "tools" as games like can be seen in the thumbnail.

Let me tell you, trying to make custom artwork isn't difficult but actually having that smeared glow is beyond me right now.

Based retard, what the fuck, that wasn't a joke?

I pirate shit and buy later at massive discounts so most of my library is categorized as unplayed.

duplicate layer
use gaussian blur to 2.0 or so
change that layer opacity mode to overlay

No, I'm just retarded and thought it said recently played within the hour not under one hour played total.

I don't understand how this works, it shows I have 216 unplayed but I manually counted the titles and there's only 90 titles
and back in the day humble bundles are really popular

That's because nobody ever talks about them. Orange Juice mainly makes bullet hell shooters, the AoS games are even Bullet Hell Fighting Games. 100% OJ was always just a spin-off anniversary game.

this is basically a convoluted clusterfuck
this right here is where all the pain is coming from
why a big as fuck button when categories are more important
why the two tiny buttons, one being important, because it shows the installed games
and why in hell you can filter the search like if you were creating a category, duplicating functionality

are you kidding me

The left side list is more or less identical.

The new library would be impressive if the other pages also got this update. They made it easier to access discussion pages and you go to discussions and it looks old and very clunky to use. Also, really hope more publishers update the covers, now with the new view it seems you are forced to see them with their pictures and now it looks ugly though that isn't on Valve, unless Valve gave the option to switch back to horizontal for preference and for publishers who haven't or won't update the art.

It's not that bad, melodrama aside. It's a beta, it clearly needs some adjustment still. Too much bloat, not hard to read, but very annoying.

Fade out the game backgrounds a bit, add dark backgrounds to the text headers.
Remove all the useless, redundant buttons for shit that you can already access through the context menu. Remove or let people hide the multiple feeds they try to have on screen all at once.

Let people completely hide and ignore all the useless social media and friend feeds.

What the fuck where? That's pretty based.

turn filtered list into a bunch of little icons you can toggle from the top, and that's it

You could always do that in one of the old views. They need to bring in 'Sort by Steam Users review" It might still be shit but it's better than journo opinions

and bring back small mode.

you could do it prior to this
the problem is many games, like easily 40%, are missing the metacritic score for some reason

It almost looks like they've catered some of the new interface for tablet use, for some reason.
I actually use a 2-in-1, and the interface makes a bit more sense when using the touch screen, but it's still really annoying to read.
I maintain that they need to let people adjust or hide the extra buttons.

post the full size of that Sumireko RIGHT NOW

Attached: favs.png (1436x740, 1.17M)

It's the same shit but rearranged differently to more prominently display news, so that you will more readily notice when a game has been updated or has an event going on.

It's because when most users want changes, they think "I like what I have, but I'd like it to be able to do these things as well."
Companies who have entire sections devoted to UI work and need to justify their existence see that though and go "REWORK FUCKING EVERYTHING", and more often than not you get apple/macfags doing the work which fucks it up even more.

There are a lot of legitimate problems that people are bringing up though.
Bloat, lack of excluding tags, arbitrarily changing default image dimensions, bringing up dead games, ect.

It's the first day of beta, everything Valve releases in beta starts really fucking shitty.
Wait for a new release on their beta labs and try it out.

Is Warband and Bloodlines worth buying? I pirated both and love both. Planning on buying Bannerlord and Bloodlines II to support devs.

its alright, should try new stuff tho.
Also why the fuck does garry's mod look highlighted.

You guys are very helpful thank you.q

Fukin yes on Warband, fuckin no on Bloodlines. Not because BL is a bad game, but because you'd be giving Activision money.

I'm autistic and enjoy this categorizing shit.
It's filled with games that have either influenced me personally, or that I always install without a second though, or games like New Vegas where, while I won't install it again ( I've played it too many times and just can't enjoy it without feeling winded 5 minutes ingame), It still holds a special spot in my heart.

That's true, but sometimes you need to try out the new stuff for some time and let it grow before saying that it's complete shit and will always be.

Yeah, that's ok, it's in beta, but some people especially on the Steam Client Beta forums are just going "FUCK THIS AWFUL SHIT REVERT IT RIGHT NOW I FUCKING HATE IT VALVE YOU FUCKING COCKSUCKERS" even though they can just disable beta participation.

And quite often you don't, because the new stuff isn't doing what you need it do it, but the company doesn't care. New stuff is here to stay. Maybe they'll move a button for you six months later.

Bloodlines hasn't been owned by Activision for years. The IP is now owned by Paradox.

Haha...

S'gud. What's that game on the top right?

Well to be honest I actually really like it. Picking the medium size option makes it look better than the previous library and you have more freedom in terms of customization. Really loving the features they added too, like being able to search your own library using tags, seeing recent updates when you click on games and being able to access the workshop easier. The only complaint I have so far is the fact that the games you gain from sharing libraries are not automatically categorized anymore like xx's games, really hope they fix that. Also obviously some games look like shit because they don't have thumbnails and banners that fit but hopefully that'll be fixed in due time. Overall really happy about the change.

I bought the game brand new and dropped it after 3 hours. I have never bought a multiplayer only game that relies on teamwork again and avoid any game with those mechanics all because of this game. That's more than an annoyance.

Now they can fix up big picture mode and make it not an ugly slow piece of shit right?

...right?

>How badly do you hate it?

Fuck off underaged edglord, you don't look cool because you "hate" things retard.

I actually think the big picture update is coming soon because doesn't that directly tie into steamvr?

Nice! How do you figure out the proper gap width when you do this? I want to make one for my 40k games.

>check a random game
>see the community feed
>suddenly see HUGE ANIME TIDDIES someone posted

Dare I say, this update is based?

You guys are sending your complaints to Valve, right? You're not just bitching somewhere they can't see so that they'll keep pushing out the shitty version, right?

literally just slice tool in Ps, user im sure you know how to use it

Displaying portrait "box art" images when 95% of games only have landscape images really is THE most retarded thing about this update.
>but you can select custom images
What? No. I have hundreds of games. I'm not doing ANYTHING manually in a library of that size. Absolutely fuck no.

This box art image ugliness, and the horrible slowness, both make this new UI feel like shit. The performance issues in particular need to be sorted out by the time the beta ends or I'm unironically going to start launching all my Steam games from Playnite or GOG Galaxy.

Yeah. I sent a lot of customizability requests for library and game page viewing. Just lots of opt out shit for some social features I don't need.

Another thing is I asked if small mode will still be on the client once the beta ends. The ram usage I just said as a passing comment because I'm sure its just an unoptimized mess at the moment.

Honestly there needs to be an option to have landscape tiles to select from instead of boxart style.

This shit is gobbling up RAM like nobody's business. I reckon anyone with less than 16 GBs of RAM is having a suboptimal time.

Anyone else seeing some games suddenly get cover art? Every now and then a new game will lose its awful blurry default shit.

Tell me what categories to make because I can't sort this this for myself

Haha wow I can't wait for this stupid meme to start
I'm gonna make one as an example
Ironically of course
Man this is stupid I'm so lazy haha

Do it and make them all kirby themed

Game you like.
Game you don't like.
Game you didn't know you even owned.

HE HATES IT

Can you still use small mode (i.e. cut all the stupid community shit out)?

Just wait until they give us the ability to exclude tags to make your collections, it'll be about a billion times easier once they do.

It's gone right now. Also a few other regressions concerning missing features that'll probably be patched back in asap.

I'm interested in seeing what kinds of custom covers people make for games
there's a surprising amount that don't have covers as is

>custom covers
Personally I'd approve of custom game names to get rid of all the stupid ™.

>Game you didn't know you even owned.
Uncategorized is good enough for that

measure the pixels

I made this cateogry and it says I have 99 unplayed but only shows 9 games.
I don't even own 99 games.

Time to just crop up some covers then.

Can you see other people's game covers?

Are you all retarded? It's exactly that

Why are people so bad at videogames?

they try to make it like some kino poster or sumthin like that

also trying to compete with EGS for the pretentious hipster artsy fartsy bullshit

just look at the center of that ad - that Osiris or whatever crying game that was given free by EGS few months ago

inb4 RENT FREE

fuck u guys I use both launchers and every existing launcher including Galaxy Origin Uplay what have you like a good goy I am

All of them will probably be updated in a week except games in licensing limbo or just abandoned.

Why dd you buy Koikatsu party my nigga. Should've pirated the version with all content.

I'll never understand what people's deal with Alien Isolation was. I think it's borderline masterpiece.

>Buyers Remorse
>Is filled with highly rated games in the 80+ range
what

>some games have amazing art
>others look like genuine trash monkeys

Hope this improves.

I'm afraid to test it out in case it mess up the library categories that I just meticulously sorted for the 980+ games I have

most are in the trash/shovelware category but for the ones that I want to play I'm afraid it will be fucked up after updated

i still have all the content modded in this one but idk why i bought the base im retarded

I-I'll get to them eventually.

Speaking just for myself I played it for an hour and never ran across an alien. That burn is just a little too slow for me.
That's the top 8 games out of 27 in the category. And just because I don't like it doesn't make it bad.

>WHY ARE PEOPLE CRITICIZING THIS PERFECT UI UPDATE OH MY GOD THIS IS SO TOXIC

Should I put Rocket League in Racing or Sports category?

oh i read ur comment wrong im retarded

>PC Gamers will never know this feel
how does it feel to not own any of your games?

Attached: physical-collection.jpg (2048x1536, 640K)

Would you put Twisted Metal in racing? Exactly.

We use to get physical shit....

until you all sold yourselves out because of a little DRM.

>comments about PC players not owning their games
>implies physical is any different
>not only that but also shows a collection of PS2 games which are easily downloadable/emulatable and without DRM and will last infinitely longer than their physical counterparts

All of those games are good except anno and king's bounty which I've never played. You have shit taste.

>>implies physical is any different
It is, retard

But I do own my games. I pirate cracked versions of all the shit I've bought and have them stored.

>disk breaks or is unreadable due to wear
>i dont own my game anymre

worthless and will expire unlike pressed discs

Maybe if you were white you wouldn't break your shit?

>console are going the way of digital downloads too

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

disks "expire" faster than hard drives

It only took a decade to make an interface that looks like it's from 2015.
Good going, Valve.

>PS2
>Easily emulatable
Your PC mustard race hasn't figured out how to emulate 70% of its games without glitches to this date. Same with N64, a 20 year old console might I add.

>>console are going the way of digital downloads too
They aren't, so keep suffering

thankfully i dont need to be white to preserve my digital media.

Ac 2 had hard coded xbox controller inputs making all of the tutorials and all the prompts useless. SOMETHING pissed me off about all of them. It doesn't mean they are bad games. I don't remember why Anno is in there.

Jesus that UI is making me feel claustrophobic.

meh if I want to look at pretty pictures might as well just turn on to Big Picture mode

why don't add this new one as another mode then?

then can switch views/modes

[motor]sports or vehicles I don't know based on your other games and what do you have more haha

hard drives usually die in about 15 years, optical media is estimated to last 70+ years

sadly, the hardware that reads that physical media never lasts even 1/5th of that.

Make a new thread nerds. I'm still compiling all the game covers I've been making.

I really like it but its kinda laggy on start-up and apparently it eats up RAM unlike the old one.

Somebody needs to make a booru or something for all the custom covers

Is there any way to have a "not installed" category?

It's using 1.3 gigs on mine. But shit, Firefox is using the same amount.

That'll happen soon probably on reddit

>sadly, the hardware that reads that physical media never lasts even 1/5th of that.
No worries there, it's still going stronger than your PC.

Why does every electron program look the same

>Chrome only using 655MB

point out 2 removed features

Small mode view

Can't we just take over the old steam banners booru?

>1.3gb
what the fuck, im calling bullshit. pics

It's not as terrible as I'd been led to believe but so much of the faux covers with small horizontal inlays and blur around looks meh and the performance isn't as responsive as before, I'll probably stick to non-beta until it gets a bit more polish.
I'm a big fan of having my 500+ games unsorted and uncategorized since I always just find what I want to play by pressing a letter to jump to the correct height in the list, but shelves aren't a bad idea regardless of that, I'll check back with it in a few months probably.
