Hence "Beta", strange things can happen. What were you expecting, that it would be bug free?
Im really liking it not had any problems so far.

[QUOTE=Metanoia;20400412]..and thus, you have learned your lesson first-hand on the risks of a beta.[/QUOTE] You wouldve expected that they tested how it responds on a couple of games right, especially new games like mw2 that get played a lot, seeing as every single mw2 owner that has opted for the beta has this issue. :350: [editline]08:11PM[/editline] It isnt only mw2 btw, lots of other games have the same issue. [editline]08:11PM[/editline] L4D2 for one.

I just got a gift which didn't show me an install prompt and it didn't appear in my games list. I tried a steam restart and now 70% of my games list has disappeared. I know this is a beta, but this is a royal screwup.
Cry me a river...
[QUOTE=Teddi Orange;20400507]It's an anomaly, would you expect some fancy UI changes to cause a random uninstall of certain games that are installed?[/QUOTE] Thats just the thing, they are not uninstalled, they are there in my steam folder. And they must have dont something to trigger this, things dont happen without someone programming it to do so.

[QUOTE=Auster;20400740]Steam :eng101:[/QUOTE] Wrong, it is Valve, not steam making the changes, steam is only the program, Valve is the company. [editline]08:39PM[/editline] Also, my download just dropped back to 1%
Just for everyone saying "Valve is" that's incorrect. VALVe are not just one person, but masses of people, therefore you say "VALVe are the company". Most people don't say this correctly because of common English and it's wrong if you say "Valve are awesome" in the sense meaning a actual water valve or whatever.

The correct terminology is "Valve is awesome", as in you are referring to the company a NOUN seeing as it is a person, place, or thing. Lrn2English bro

Hooray for pedantry! ..I guess. :eng99:
[QUOTE=dutchah;20401198]Birkett does not have infallible grammar.[/QUOTE] I however do.
I love this
[QUOTE=MiniManz;20392239]I think its pretty awesome. My only complaints are LOTS OF GRADIENTS No more mini-game list window But I think the fact that THE IN GAME BROWSER USES MOTHER FUCKING [B]CHROME[/B] makes up for everything.[/QUOTE] Really? Fucking hell that's awesome, signing up instantly.
It's not Chrome, but it uses WebKit, the same thing Chrome uses.
I really hate the new games tab, no icons makes it hard to browse, and the middle pane is useless, I already know which friends have which games, if I care. [editline]08:20PM[/editline] New sounds are shit too.
Why are ALL my menus like this? [img]http://i48.tinypic.com/33m1rsx.png[/img]
Does the Store work for anyone?
[QUOTE=JustExtreme;20401491]Does the Store work for anyone?[/QUOTE] Works for me. Do you get a testshell-error URL in every web browser in Steam?
[QUOTE=Within;20401487]Why are ALL my menus like this? [img]http://i48.tinypic.com/33m1rsx.png[/img][/QUOTE] You need to change some font setting from Arial bold to Arial. [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1159147[/url]
I personally think it looks promising. yes it needs some changes, So just be patient!
[QUOTE=KSI;20401409]It's not Chrome, but it uses WebKit, the same thing Chrome uses.[/QUOTE] That's almost as awesome.
With the manual font fix it looks pretty nice
