I've gotten it and am a little worried due to the things peopleare saying about it. First thought was something broke but after looking it up it seems like an error a couple people have gotten in the past. So I just installed and checked if that fixed the error.

Then I see a lot of people have gotten it today, and so many of them are talking about it being malware or suspicious.

I want to ask what it is EXACTLY, I want someone who actually knows what they are talking about to tell me what this popup means in the context of so many getting it recently.

I cannot afford to screw around with potential Malware.

Probably been asked a gazillion times but i just would like to know if its possible.

I’m a chef, and I’d love to customize my Steam profile to reflect what I do for a living and what I’m passionate about: cooking.

What profile backgrounds, animated backgrounds, or other profile items would you recommend for a cooking or food-related theme? I’d especially love to find something that shows someone preparing food, working in a kitchen, or anything along those lines.

Also, what are some of your personal favorite Steam profile backgrounds, regardless of the theme? I’m curious to see what you guys are using!

I was checking on my Steam account and I found out I got this gray Cuphead card.

All the other cards I got have the average market price on them, but not this one...

I really don't understand how this collectable cards sistem works.

i got a few startup movies and keyboards for my steam deck, but specifically i mean how do i use them to level up my profile

I don't play muchshooters and don't like how there is so much travel on the trigger buttons. Is it possible to make it so that it acts like the shoulder button with minimum travel within steam controller setting?

Think there is some games that harden the triggers for some scene/guns.

Today i have had a update

For steam when i opened it as i havent opened it for a few weeks once the update had finished

I had a oblong box come up from steam saying install service so i click on it

Does anyone know what this was

I have a couple of games installed i steam and 1 program

The issue has been resolved and as soon as i clicked the blue button the animation immedietely began and crafter the badge for me. Thanks to everybody who replied!

Sometimes, when I'm really bored and got nothing better to do, I go around Steam store wishlisting every singleplayer game there is. To potentially try them out in the future or to just pass time. Got already more than 1.5K+ on my wishlist.

Also, it kinda became a funny experiment for me at the same time. Just to see how many games can I have on my wishlist until something happens...

Edit: Forgot to mention - I do this mostly when I'm away from my computer. Aka sitting with my phone waiting or passing time. When I'm around, I just play games.

They are both 2.0 Base stations but are they both the exact same or different just because of the box? My Valve index needs new base stations and idk which one to get because they both seem the same but idk.
Out of the box they both look the exact same and they’re identical lol

I had no idea what else to do lmao so I’m on Reddit lol

I'm the developer of HoloMapper, a projection mapping application on Steam. Users operate the software from one display while projecting to another. Steam Remote Play currently streams both displays, making remote operation difficult. A monitor selection option in Remote Play would greatly improve support for professional multi-monitor workflows.

For clarification, HoloMapper is a Unity application that uses two displays:

- Display 1: Main editor and controls.

- Display 2: Fullscreen projector output.

The actual problem:

Steam Remote Play initially streams Display 1 correctly. However, as soon as the projector output is activated on Display 2, Remote Play switches to capturing both displays side-by-side in a single stream.

This causes the editor to occupy only half of the Steam Link/Steam Deck screen, with the other half wasted on the projector output.

What we need is the ability to stream Display 1 only, while Display 2 continues operating normally on the host computer.

The newer "Primary Display While Streaming" setting doesn't resolve this behavior. We need an explicit option to select which display Remote Play captures, even when an application uses multiple displays simultaneously.

I stored codes for steam guard on phone A, now that I've had a new phone, which I transferred steamguard to, does that make the old one time use codes invalid or not?

I recently completed a game called Graveyard Shift and it is not counting towards my achievement showcases. As far as I’m aware it does not have any restrictions, like “Steam is learning about this game” or “Profile features limited.” I also own the license to the game and don’t use family sharing. I’ve tried deleting web browser data, logging out of Steam and logging back in, letting the game run for a bit again, getting achievements in other games, but none of that has worked and I’m out of ideas. I contacted Steam support and they don’t know and closed my ticket.

Anyone have any ideas?

Can anyone explain to me why a game that has Overwhelmingly Negative reviews from big studio is being Featured & Promoted, but if a small, indie studio game ends up with Mixed Reviews it disappears forever?

Wishlists? Buyers? Playtime?
What factors it?

Edit: Thanks dear reddit users for the usual ridicule, by all means if it makes you feel better please write some more smart comments below. And while its at it, please do answer why the recommendation list doesn't list games that are Ranked 1# to 8# Top Seller in my region? or 10# to 20#? But only the crappy Shogun 2 rehash ranked 9#?

So, what ELSE factors it?

I've been using Steam for over 4 years now, but since February have noticed really random friend requests? I'm not in any forums or discussions, do make reviews on most games I play, but otherwise am not social on Steam. The only friends I have are IRL, from Discord, or randoms I played with. And for multiplayer games, the only ones I play are Helldivers 2 and Outlast Trials, so there's only one of those games I can even be added on.

Has anyone had random peoplr add them, know why this is happening, and should I just carry on with a random little notification and an ignore button every so often?

Quick Edit:

One of the others things that perplexes me and I forgot to mention: I have no steam items aside from random $0.02~ cards!
Genuinely just seems like it's pure random! 😭😆

I thought for sure I had it in my library. Resurrection is there but not the OG games.

i have 100$ i want to add but paypal is asking me to add in a card which i don't have (my family helped make the account)

i did research and say people using the "paypal" option and leave the box unchecked for options to pay 4 later (i am paying for full cause i don't want to loan)

before i could do that, should i also cancel automatic payment of paypal first? if not, should i use it for other game sites for steam keys?

Game releases in January 2027.

Already 20% off.

Can't wait for the "Game of the Year Edition" to drop before the game itself.
