    Default New Steam

    Steam just changed for me. It looks like a whole new version. Anybody else seen this?

    It looks awesome. Cool, I've played ETW for 17 hours. Probably still got 100s more to go!

    Look is nice, but the software will probably remain lame

    At least the web browser seems to be much less sluggish than before.

    That's because they've ditched the reliance on IE in favour of WebKit.

    Although it just looks like a new lick of paint, quite a bit's been re-worked. Much smoother all round. Much better package now.

    And yeah - the beta's been going for a while. Didn't realise it had finally gone live though.

    I'm not sure I need to be reminded of how much time I spend playing ETW instead of working!

    LOL that feature successfully managed to convince me to stop playing this game. Wonder if Steam meant for that to happen...

    I've had some problems lately (after steam changed) but I don't know if they have anything to do with it, or just coincided in time. Serious lag, some freezes, "javaw.exe has encountered an error" popups... I don't know if java actually has anything to do with ETW or steam, but I get the popups while playing.

    *laughs* They are selling a Rockstar pack which includings GTA and GTA2, I wonder how many people will be fooled into buying it, for nearly 5 years Rockstar as given away for free GTA/GTA2 by download off their own website in their classic vault thing.

    I wonder if they removed them from their classics so they can make money off them again? Nope

    That's weird, because that feature was in the old version already...

    That does not make any sense I have spent 5 minutes on 2 demos it says I played 5 hours.

    Yes, and I am unable to play Empire with it. I don't know why, ever since the new Steam came up for me, Empire CTD's right after the opening screen.

    Only 63 or so hours on Empire, I need to play more . The new look of steam is nice thou, its very seamless and clean looking.
