    Desktop launcher finally looks modern. I’m liking it. Haven’t had a chance to try out the notes feature. But, I’m guessing it remembers for each game?

      Yeah I tested it and it looks like it’s game specific.

    I absolutely love the new UI. It’s so responsive and modern, and for the most part, consistent.

      I’ve been on the Beta for awhile and it’s so much better than what Steam used to be.

    Not so sure about the UI overhaul, but I do like the notes feature. I can see it being a very handy way for me to remember what I’m doing, especially if it syncs my notes between my desktop and my Steam Deck.

      Consistency from Steam Deck to PC makes a lot of sense and means features can come to everywhere at once.

        I just tested it and it turns out notes do sync.

    I didn’t have any strong feeling about Steam but I do have to say the desktop performance is snappier.

      Yep, that was a big bullet point, the groundwork to share code between every Steam flavor.

    This version is constantly freezing up for me. I click two buttons only for it to freeze for 10 seconds.

      Maybe time for an integrity check or reinstall. Big updates like this can fudge things up

    I still miss steam skins, but these changes look a lot better than before.

    That’s great, I’d like to switch off beta as the in-game overlay has been crashing frequently.
