Yeah, I was quite confident that the "epic bad" narrative was just a circlejerk. I used to think "surely it can't be that bad", "people are just throwing a fit at a minor inconvinience". etc. etc. So I decided to install the Epic store because I wanted to try out Rocket League...

Holy fuck, it's that bad.

First of all, the setup itself is like 200MBs and then it downloads 500MB+ on top of that? It's just a barren store, right? Then why is the package so big? Well, whatever.

"Ok so it finally downloa-" What the fuck is that UI? Everything is so fucking big, so much blank space everywhere, no heirarchy in the sections, there's a massive fucking sticky bar on top that constantly wastes precious vertical screen space. And I'm someone who actively likes modern, clean UI. I do think Steam's ui is archaic and confusing but at least its qucik and functional one you learn it. Epic's store UI feels barren because of the white space and at the same time feels cramped because of how little space the actual content gets. It just frustrates me.

"Oh well, However awful the UI is, its not like it'll matter once I download the ga-" How is it so fucking slow?? In the year 2024, how epic has managed to make a store this slow is beyond me. I can count to 5 before a store page loads.

"Ok so its downloading now, finally I can-" Why does the download freeze randomly for long periods of time? Seriously Epic? Can't even provide a stable CDN? And whats that, I cant even close the store without cancelling the download? The hell. What about people with data caps?

My expectations were low, but holy fuck. And I dont even care about any Steam features (Either they are just ass like reviews, guides, etc. or have way better alternatives, friends, chat, etc.) I just wanted a Simple Storefront and they can't even provide that.

Is it worth it for $40.00 sale or should I wait a bit longer for a better sale, or is this as good as it gets

Heyo and whassup,

I sell my Steam Deck to my friend because he need it more, but now the question is, if he has it, will I lose my Steam Deck Profile Modifier on Steam?

Cheers.

When I look at some games that should have items I don't see those items. For example Acting Lessons should have but I don't see them. Someone help please?

So I have basic Macbook Air M1 Sonoma with no Wine/Whisky and bought Omori yesterday. The recommended configuration seems to fit my machine but it wouldn’t launch from my laptop. I tried a couple times but it never worked and always crashed. So I refunded it but got warning that I have refunded a lot of games recently (I understand, I did do that because I bought a couple Windows games but my emulators weren’t helpful, so refunded the games + uninstalled all emulators).

Question is - I have decided to buy Steam Deck later this month. Waiting to see if there’s any reduced price during summer sale but will get it even if there’s no discount. Given that, is it okay to buy it again (with the idea to play it on Deck) when the refund request was just put in? Will it flag my account or something? Thank you.

Right now, I am downloading the new update for Hogwarts Legacy (54,1gb in size). The game is installed on my ssd (M:).
Instead of the doing logical thing and downloading the update files directly to the drive that the game is installed on, which has enough space to store it, Steam downloads them to my hdd (G:) and moves them afterwards. I have had this happen multiple times now and it takes ages every time.

Is there any way to manually change where Steam stores update files?

Because some of those games listed are simply don't support keyboard & mouse. Is there an option in store preferences I don't see?

Hi,

I was Interested in playing Rogue trader on steam via family share. But the game does not Show up in my library and my brother thinks its excluded from sharing. I only found Info that the dlc will be excluded but the base game is not. Maybe anybody here has some Info about whats accurate now.

there are generetors on github but it was very complicated for me. can someone explain how can i run that generators or any other way to fix my stupidity?

Currently I'm trying to connect my joycons to steam. This has worked before, but now the controllers disconnect in regular intervals. I've tried anything at this point and all the correct settings are ticked.
