I don't believe you!
That is pretty nice actually.
Sorry but I'm never gonna use Big picture as long as I'm playing on my PC.
[QUOTE=Greendead;48619011]Sorry but I'm never gonna use Big picture as long as I'm playing on my PC.[/QUOTE] I use it very often, because I enjoy playing multiplayer games with my friends on a TV.
[QUOTE=Greendead;48619011]Sorry but I'm never gonna use Big picture as long as I'm playing on my PC.[/QUOTE] Why would you? It's not intended for you sitting in front of a PC.
[QUOTE=Velocet;48619241]Why would you? It's not intended for you sitting in front of a PC.[/QUOTE] Unless you happen to be using a controller
And it'll still only get launched on accident
[QUOTE=NiandraLades;48622580]And it'll still only get launched on accident[/QUOTE] That you don't use it does not mean it's never used it by anyone, I use big picture daily to launch games on my TV.

[QUOTE=Map in a box;48623013]alt+enter is what you're pressing by accident[/QUOTE] He (she?) ment by clicking on it. This is unrelated to the Big Picture mode, but does anyone know how to disable the Steam music player when pushing the Enter key? I can't launch any games quickly because of that. [editline]6th September 2015[/editline] Nevermind, figured it out, just remove all the folders from the Music tab. [t]http://i.imgur.com/p8I0eha.png[/t]

It's useful for streaming games to an android tablet via Nvidia Shield or [url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.limelight]Moonlight Streaming[/url]. Other than that I have no use for it.
I really don't understand what big picture does... i mean, it let's me play games on my pc screen... i could do that before?
[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;48625543]I really don't understand what big picture does... i mean, it let's me play games on my pc screen... i could do that before?[/QUOTE] It's designed to be used on TVs with a controller
[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;48625543]I really don't understand what big picture does... i mean, it let's me play games on my pc screen... i could do that before?[/QUOTE] It's for media centre PCs and people playing on a TV. It's not really for desktop use. IMO, it's a pretty dull interface it relies too heavily on using the in-house browser for most things which just feels like a cheap copout
[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;48625543]I really don't understand what big picture does... i mean, it let's me play games on my pc screen... i could do that before?[/QUOTE] Controller-friendly, and VERY useful for hooking up your PC to a big TV.
[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;48625543]I really don't understand what big picture does... i mean, it let's me play games on my pc screen... i could do that before?[/QUOTE] It lets you navigate Steam with a controller and scales up the text size, both of which are great when you're playing on a TV away from the PC.
[QUOTE=Greendead;48619011]Sorry but I'm never gonna use Big picture as long as I'm playing on my PC.[/QUOTE] It's for a TV. I use it with mine.
I use it with my shitty laptop to stream stuff from my actual computer on my TV, it's got its uses.
[QUOTE=Map in a box;48623013]alt+enter is what you're pressing by accident[/QUOTE] no, if you had an xbox controller plugged in and pressed the guide button on steam, it used to big picture. it doesn't seem to do that anymore fortunately.
I like to use it because you can bring up the steam overlay with your middle button (ie: xbox logo button).
