Heads-up for anyone whose Steam started crashing instantly at launch after the October 13 client update, where reinstalling Steam, verifying, and clearing the cache all do nothing.

If you’re on an AMD Radeon GPU, this is probably not Steam’s fault. A component in the Radeon driver (GameManager64.dll, AMD’s game-detection hook that injects itself into Steam) goes into a crash loop during Steam’s startup and takes the client down with it. Event Viewer shows it as an ntdll.dll / c0000005 error, which makes it look like Steam or Windows, but it’s the driver.

How to tell it’s this:

• It only started after the Oct 13 Steam update.
• Steam launches fine if you fully quit your overlay/peripheral software first (Razer Synapse, Corsair iCUE, etc.) and start Steam before they load.
• A game launcher running in the background can trigger it too (the EVE Online launcher does it for me).
• It goes away completely if the AMD driver is uninstalled (not a real fix, just proof of cause).

Workaround until AMD patches it: let Steam fully start before any of that overlay/peripheral/launcher software loads. Launch order is the whole trick.

I’ve reported it to both AMD (with a full crash dump) and Valve. Posting here so people stop wiping their Steam installs over an AMD driver bug. Anyone else hit this since mid-October on a Radeon card?

Finally got my invitation to buy a Steam controller. Expensive but I just really want to play Morrowind on pc with a controller at last. So I am hopeful.

Im not sure if this frame is limited edition or if its apart of a game. Also not sure if this is right community to post this, thought id give it a shot.
All I know is that the frame is animated.

Since we are not the topic of loading times and startup times already. The steam pages are loading very slowly for me and no, there's no problem with my internet. I tried with two different wifi and still the pages take a long while to load. Meanwhile mobile app is so good , it loads almost instantly. This is especially annoying during steam next fests or any events cus the page takes a long time to load and it just annoys me so much.

Also if I click on a game and come back to the event page it reloads 😭, this is very bad. Because sometimes I'll be having amazing recommendations and I click on a game page to download it and come back to the event page again just for the peak recommendations to be lost forever to the void because it just reloads. This disincentivizes me to click on a game cus i don't want to accidentally lose the current recommendations.

Is there are any fix for this? Or is my net just ass. Btw I use steam app on pc , is it better to just browse on chrome instead?

I already wrote about this on Steam and decided to repost my idea here. Here's the link to the post https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/10/572678133316061824/.

What I'm suggesting is that many users will love this idea, while others won't. But it's long been clear that some game mods require Steam remastering. Why is this important? Many will ask because many mods are much more complex than the original game. Of course, someone will make a bunch of mods that just give them away.But I would like to give the opportunity to choose which mod edits can be shown, and everything else will be in more detail, in the mods section in the Steam profile itself. So that the user can show their favorite mod and edits from different mods, no more than 20 pieces, for the original game.

I welcome ideas and criticism in the comments. Best regards to other Steam users.

Just found out that my Steam Controller reservation was opened about 1.5 months ago. After this message I got the email saying I could purchase it, and I should be purchasing soon. If it were any other company I would have likely just accepted my loses and would've moved on lol

Hello! I’ve been wanting a steam deck for a long time because I love to play games handheld and there are a ton of games on steam that I wanted to play. I finally got a Lenovo legion and I’m having a hard time learning the controls for different games. Is there any tips out there for layouts? Particularly im struggling to get the chat to work on like Palia

Thanks!

When I was 14 I decided I wanted to cheat on a video game. Yea... it was fucked up and I deserved a VAC ban BUT CMON ITS BEEN OVER A DECADE AND I HAVE NOT CHEATED AGAIN. Felon in the U.S. who have done real cromes will have good behavior for a long enough period and take it to court and have it removed off their record. BUT A VAC BAN WILL LIVE FOREVER. Thank you for listening to my TED talk. It doesn't affect my gameplay but I wanted to rant.

Annnd here's the article I got this from. Apparently it's a tribute to how Bill Gates credited him in Windows 1.0.

I just noticed this, and would like some reassurance that this isn’t bad

What does it mean by groups? i read the announcement post, but i may have missed something bc i'm tired and blind. either way, i have 72 games "completed" when i look at my library, yet it says 44 games and groups completed on profile.

what is a group??

I know a lot of people have been saying that the Badge/Trophy should have the yellow color added back to it, so I came up with this rough mockup in GIMP.

The Right Trophy is the exact SVG shape and color gradient as pulled directly from Steam's website using Inspect Element.

The Yellow used is the same yellow as the center of the current/old 100% achievements badge but it gradients down the same amount of change as the blue that steam is using in the new trophy (top blue is #1A9FFF, bottom blue is #1465CF).

I also made slight alterations to the blue pillars in the svg, I assume Steam/Valve was going for the left and right being mirrors of each other but as you can see they are not the same shape.

Image 1 mirrors the left pillar onto the right side, and Image 2 mirrors the right pillar onto the left side. In both images, the Original Steam Trophy is left untouched and is Stock to how it is on the website.
