Launching a game means that the entire Steam Window fades and it will become entirely unusable until the game starts. That is not a separate startup window, thats just an embedded element inside the main one. If you accidentally click outside, the game startup gets canceled.
It is a bit more than mildly frustrating when Im waiting on the Vulkan shaders for BFV for like half an hour to process.
I use steam very irregularly and only for a couple small games. Is this something a lot of people do? Never occurred to me.
It’s by far the most popular PC game distribution in the world. Yes, people launch games and then browse while waiting.
I have an m2drive I’ve never had to wait. Upgrade your storage, then no waiting. Even when I had a hdd I never waited. So this would have been a surprise to me.
I’m curious how many steam users actually browse while waiting for a game to launch. I know they have a lot of users but I can’t imagine more than one or two percent actually do this.
That’s actually what I meant… I‘m certainly aware how large steam is…
This comment feels unnervingly AI generated. You commented on 3 posts in 3 minutes.
Uhh, never opened a bunch of tabs and commented in quick succession?
Not sure how much tome it takes you to type 3 paragraphs but 3 Minutes seem quite reasonable if your engadged in something… And as a non native speaker, I thought my flawed English certainly wouldn’t pass as an AI (maybe a shitty one though)
Steam has 120 million active users a month and 60m a day, so yes it’s something a lot of people do.
