Hate the new steam UI? how about using the old one!

Will try this latter thx in advance.

thx for sharing

i guess it will work some time and then they disable this feature couple of months later like they did last time

Nope been using this one for a few months now.

In game overlay is much better!

Nice. Bye bye stupid blue highlighting of the library tab :)

Thanks, I'll probably run this way until they disable it. New one stinks.

When did they change?

New one is cool. In-game overlay is much better, it just looks better, and the screenshot manager finally shows a clear screenshot instead of the blurry shit the old UI had. So, while it still has some bugs, it's an improvement in my eyes over the previous UI. Shame they still haven't reverted to the old Steam Review sort option style. It looked much better.

thank you for sharing this because the new one messes up my muscle memory, what's every website thinking shoving all the function buttons in an unused corner and squishing everything into a fine undiscernible paste

Thanks for this! Hope it continues to function.

People seem enamored with the changes to the screenshot interface and the overlay and font?
I don't know. I use games for gaming. I don't care about screenshots and I have a browser to look for stuff on the site. I never use the overlay so for me it's a zero sum change at best.
And still waiting for changes to the actual library management like... sub categories, going back to being able to check several categories for a game without having to do them one by one, you know... basic stuff.

So I'll go back to the old one happily until they make it impossible.

Thanks. After the latest update, on my system, Steam constantly stops responding and crashing. So far, using the -vgui parameter is the only way I can run Steam without issues, at least until they fix their stuff as they should have before going live, in production, with this steaming pile of bug-ridden crap.

Nice, definitely doing this. Old UI wasn't perfect but it was better than this monstrosity.

thank you!! you're a lifesaver.

thank you

If you have Steam launch when Windows starts, you can make it start with -vgui by adding it to the Steam registry entry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

It will take effect the next time you restart Windows

What is wrong with the new UI? I understand frustration with bugs, but other than that I see only positive changes.

Thanks again, it works great for me.
I also had the issue that steam was unable to launch since some steam service was not working only after starting it without some graphic option I was able to get steam working again. (needed to do this with every launch)

So It is great that I can roll back to the previous version!

Using Linux.
The new client even more slower than the previous one. I dont need al the fancy graphics stuff.
The day it installed no game was starting.
Still cant click on the game properties or set categories.
The scrolling is a torture and dont know what else, I use it not much.

Aaah... finally what a relief after 2 days of using new laggy crap...
The old one is lighting fast!

I'm not sure but the new update was using around 300mb of extra RAM.
Thanks for the tip, I'm tired of useless updates.

didnt work for a minute this morning and could not get it working. had a mild heart attack, thought they already ended it
reset steam and got it back up and working again

FUUUUCK..... they removed it without fixing any of the bugs.....
still have 2 steam trade notifications i made ages ago that wont go away as well as other things like wishlist games on sale i disabled but it wont stop telling me about them even thought the sale ended ages ago....
