New Steam UI released

=MUPP= oGre — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:32:48 +0000

The new steam client has been released. Among the news is Webkit as a renderer instead of the crappy IE. Unfortunately they prevent us from using custom protocols, so you can’t trigger a mumble-URL anymore. Hopefully they get around to fix that.

I also would like a server gadget for Vista/Windows 7.

Upcoming Steam facelift in public beta

=MUPP= oGre — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 20:56:04 +0000

The upcoming facelift of the Steam platform is now in public beta. Read all about it here.

One of the nifty new features is that the overlay now features a real browser with support for https://. I’m not that fond of the game list though. It takes up a LOT of space and gets rather messy if you have 30+ games.

If you run a non-English windows you need to patch this file:

Go to folder Steam\resource\styles Open steam.styles in your favorite editor. Change basefontbold=”Arial bold” to ”Arial”

I can’t believe that Steam messed that up – they have quite a few international users..

Valve addresses the achievement fiasco for l4d2

=MUPP= oGre — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:58:32 +0000

Well most of you must have noticed that stats got reset, and disappeared in l4d2 this weekend.

There has been a steam back-end update now, which should prevent this from happening. Also they will reload your stats from the backups during the week.
