Who has tried it?
Who likes it?
Who hates it?
Who has discovered that it deletes their game data? (Race 07/Borderlands/HL2/Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2/et al.)
Who misses the Compact Games list?
Did anyone spot an offline mode?
...
And after Valve broke offline mode at the weekend with an update, who got the 'fix' today and found that... it doesn't work?
I like it.
I don't hate it.
It didn't delete any of my game stuff aside from Half life 1 which needed to download for a few seconds after updating.
I never used the compact games list, I find it to be a burden, an extra steam window, I find it easier to use the tabs in the main window to hop between the games list and stuff like the community site rather than being stuck with what reminds me of IE6 back in the day. Multiple windows.
Steam (eh.. File) -> Go Offline; I would assume that when you launch with no internet it also goes offline automatically. There's probably a launch option to start offline automatically as well.
That being said it does need some major improvements all around, I'm really not feeling the wasted space at the bottom of the friends list, or wasted space in the chat box. Stuff like that. But they seem to be listening to the users and it is infact a beta so I'm definitely excited to see where we end up. :)
Dont like it, and in the process they have managed to wipe my entire friends list, leaving with JUST my groups, bit of a fail, but hopefully will be fixed soon. :(
Yeah, that was actually unrelated but still a major fuckup.
