No problems lately. A couple of random D/C moments from the Steam network but nothing unusual.

Working fine for me. Things like the client browser and navigating the different sections (store, community, etc.) have always been slower than normal web browsing, but I've gotten used to it.

I actually installed and played several different Steam games this past weekend. No problem. I only play the games though, including installing some 3+ GB ones, no community stuff or anything like that.

The only problem I have is that the quicklist from the start menu is more often blank than not despite being regularly used. It's annoying since I much prefer using it to launch games rather than going into steam itself.

No issues seen here and I've been using it regularly for the last couple of weeks. I don't access the community stuff though, if that makes a difference.

TF2 takes forever to start up now, and takes a couple of minutes to "retrieve server info" when joining a math. I just got back into TF2 lately, and it wasn't like this before.

I played on the weekend for the first time in months and did not encounter any issues like this. It was very snappy and loaded to servers very quickly.

I had this happen for a while with Steam. I backed up the commonapps (your games) folder and uninstalled then reinstalled steam, copied the common apps back, and it fixed it

Doesn't startup after boot nearly as fast as it used to. Icons always take a while to load when I open it. But them adding big screen support, apps..etc, hope it doesn't get too bloated. I just need a simple game launcher interface with a basic store, losing all of that
