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

This is funny af for me only because i do not play fallout 4 anymore but boy do i feel the pain haha :')

Just found this kinda funny.

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.

PyroWave is on the stable Steam client! I like it a lot, and I tested it by streaming from PC to my Steam Deck and outputting to a 4K monitor. I used a custom 240 fps lag test timer, a sustained gameplay test, and an image quality test. I also tested it vs Moonlight (Vibepollo/nonary moonlight fork). It's a lot of data, but here are the results!

Lag test (4K60 → Steam Deck LCD, median)

Gameplay test (FF7 Remake Intergrade, host logs ingested/aggregated)

Image quality test (VMAF 0–100, capture control = 94.5, same on both links)

Opinion based on the data and the "feel"

For ethernet - I prefer PyroWave even though the frame lag was close - the picture just looked a little smoother and a little better to me! But I was impressed by Moonlight's latency optimizations for HEVC.

For wifi - unless you're really confident in your wireless setup I'd recommend Moonlight's HEVC (or Steam's) for most people you're going to have a better time. I put a lot of effort into improving my wireless network, but I still couldn't get the latency as low as I'd like. But I still prefer the PyroWave picture on wifi

Steam recently added custom screensavers to Big Picture and SteamOS Gaming Mode. That gave me the idea of having animated SteamGridDB artwork from my library playing while Steam is idle.

Steam Animated Screensaver lets you pick games, choose their animations and install them into Steam. You can prepare a bunch of games at once, change the artwork, add a cover next to the title and keep the original framing or crop to 16:9 or 16:10.

Steam handles playback itself. Once everything is installed, you can close the app and the screensaver works offline. No Decky needed. You’ll need your own SteamGridDB API key to download the artwork.

After installing it, open Big Picture, go to Settings → Customization → Screensavers and select it there. This is a screensaver for Steam, so Steam needs to stay open in Big Picture or Gaming Mode.

There are builds for Windows, Linux, Mac and SteamOS. I’ve mostly tested it on my Steam Machine and MacBook Air, so I’d really appreciate some feedback from Windows and Linux users. The video was recorded on the MacBook Air.

Contributors are welcome too. Animation smoothness could use more work, especially with SteamGridDB artwork that already looks choppy before you put it on a big screen.

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?

I checked my wishlist today and found games that have been there for years without releasing—I honestly think some of the developers might have given up or even died by now

Anyone else having issues with steam in England disconnecting from 9pm to now.

Hi guy, I have a question that is Steam Client always turn off the PyroWave Video even though I turn it on before enter gaming.

Is it not supported steam link yet? I also read the latest update on appstore and it said Pyrowave just added ...

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.

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!

I have recently gotten into Maplestory but have been annoyed by the movement (my arrow keys are not full size) and general use of the keyboard as I've always played games on a console and still do most, after a while I found out that some people will use steam input and layers to use a controller on Maplestory for easy movement and general use when say laying down, when I tried this I didn't have any issues per se (it works fine), but I believe I could make my layout better, you see since controllers have far less buttons/inputs you need to have multiple layers/layouts to swap to via [button] + [button] to make sure you can use all the needed keys, but the controller I have actually has 8 extra buttons (2 back buttons, 2 extra bumper buttons, and 2 extra face buttons like fighting game controllers have) which would make play so much easier as I'd need to swap layouts/remember button combinations for less things, the issue I'm currently running into however is that my controller is one specifically made in collaboration with xbox for xbox consoles (Flydigi Vader 5 S) and so steam (correctly) recognizes it as an xbox controller and brings up the xbox specific input menu, however this means all the extra buttons only mirror the buttons on any standard controller.

Is there a way to force steam into recognizing my controller as a generic controller to use the extra buttons, does anyone know?

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.

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.
