i haven’t because it’s been a completely unusable buggy mess ever since i’ve installed it, and it transitioned to electron, routinely uses 1gb of ram, 2gb on bad days. That’s 2 whole USD wasted, and that’s the price of CHEAP ram.
Graphics just don’t work, that might be an nvidia problem to be fair, menus are broken, buttons haven’t worked, refactoring the UI seems to make it slower. Scrolling a literal single web page is practically unusable due to lag and stuttering. If you use proton, and auto shader compilation, it’s useless because you can’t even configure how you want it to be run. Don’t want to compile 12gb of shaders for a game that’s 200GB? That you play 2 times a year? Get fucked.

Wait really?! Feel like that’s a bug that really needs addressing
what kind of sane person is gonna leave a steam page open for over a week, though?
I can see it easily being accidentally left open if you have a busy desktop and don’t regularly restart your PC

What kind of sane person is gonna debug and track down a memory leak, though? Just buy more ram
What kind of sane person is going to buy more RAM? Just download it

I mean… I often open steam for something and then kind of forget about it.

no it doesnt?
It’s a web browser, it’s only going to come from one place lmao.
The Web.
yeah, and the answer is electron, it’s electron causing the memory leak, the solution is to not use it.
I completely forgot Steam used electron.
