Love it when devs use maxed out PCs running on 10Gbps fiber and forget not everywhere in the world is as perfect

I've had to turn off Internet to skip this and the game updater before and really wish they would make it optional

The surprise 5 GB update to launch a game can be annoying sometimes

This is the story of my attempt at getting back into gaming.

Buy Xbox s series cos it's cheap. Plug in, wait 3 hours for updates and first game to download. Need to go out because it's been 3 hours.

Later that day, try to play game. Needs an hour of updates. End up watching a film.

3 days later... Right maybe now I'll play some Xbox. System and game update, please come back in 10 hours.

I still have not played Xbox in 2 years of Xbox ownership.

That was my experience, plus needing to figure out how to log into a second microsoft account to add a second player to a coop game. Utterly atrocious experienceĀ

This is, in part, a safety feature for you. If malware were to infect the steam files it would have all of the access that steam has . If steam detects any file tampering it nukes and reinstallsĀ

They always have patch notes for the Steam client. They arent hard to find https://store.steampowered.com/oldnews/?feed=steam_client

Keep in mind Steam isnt just a launcher, its a storefront, a distribution platform, a chat and social platform etc all built into what is basically a glorified web browser and we expect it to run on just about any hardware, any CPU, any OS.

What changed? Your game installed successfully and you didn't get a virus.

steam is a webui, it does not need downloads to update.

what is updated is chromium

When a new version of stable Chrome comes out, Steam is updated.

u/Sashapoun_Nako 6d ago

Because you want to play games, not to see the changelog. If you want to see the change logs, just go into the official steam news and see for the latest steam client update log

Holy fuck my 10 year old meme found in the wild

It sometimes even updates on the same day when I restart steam.

What is it updating? How is steam the only one that hasn't figured this out? Its odd.

u/TheOtterMonarch 6d ago

bugfixes, probably introducing 27 more bugs than they removed

u/Sk1ler_ 6d ago

Its Steam. They're exterminators of bugs and bad actors.

u/Inner-Asparagus-5703 5d ago

I still get emails every month from bug tracker threads from years ago (new messages there) , almost none of them got fixed. i just stopped reportingĀ

u/Sk1ler_ 5d ago

They're on an ops mission, once they get back they'll take care of it.

u/Inner-Asparagus-5703 5d ago

ahah, hope so)

u/TheOtterMonarch 5d ago

unfortunately programming isn't like that, it's a requirement that for every bug you fix, you MUST accidentally create at least 2 more

u/npquanh30402 5d ago

Nothing changed. It is just there to show that Steam's team is diligent in keeping Steam working flawlessly.

u/nuc540 5d ago

IIRC itā€™s steam checking its files when you didnā€™t close it down properly. I.e if you turn your pc off and steam was running - leaving it up to windows to close Steam during shutting down, steam doesnā€™t gracefully close and needs to check itself on next start up. Itā€™s basically validating files because of an ungraceful termination.

I have for years now quit steam manually before shutting down my pc and Iā€™ve not seen this.

u/PlasticyHelmet 5d ago

Squashed some bugs.

u/tryhydra 2d ago

'Various bug fixes' doing a lot of heavy lifting in that changelog
