The new #Steam client they are going to release soon, is going to be a big problem for many #Linux users, or at least those of us with non-high-end computers.

It is too heavy, slow, and hogging system resources.

You can try it today by enabling the Steam beta in your settings.

I wish there's a way to stay in the old Steam client. T_T

Anyone found a workaround?

@youronlyone@calckey.social @gaming@a.gup.pe @gaming@lemmy.ml Oeh I just opt-in on the Beta and I see new client! Looking fresh :nomnom:

@gaycookie@mis.ski How is it on your end? Using Windows or Linux? No slowless, delayed clicks, and Steam shortcut keys not working (or super delayed)?

@youronlyone@calckey.social @gaming@a.gup.pe @gaming@lemmy.ml Currently using Windows and all seems fine so far. :ai_yay:

@youronlyone@calckey.social @gaming@a.gup.pe @gaming@lemmy.ml Here is a video, you can see how the client itself reacts and feels the same maybe even smoother then before, beside that shortcuts seem to work fine too.

@gaycookie @youronlyone @gaming@lemmy.ml @gaming@a.gup.pe I'm sure it updates 4x as often

[–] youronlyone@calckey.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@pixelpusher220@universeodon.com No doubt it will. Beta often is not tested on as many configurations as possible.
