Chemaz Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Steam has just updated, and me and my mate have just lost all our steam friends. Tried restarting the program and nothing. Anyone else having issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasethebase Reporter Posted February 23, 2010 Reporter Share Posted February 23, 2010 Seems to be happening to a lot of people at the moment. Just happened to me and my friend. Mine could have done with a clean up anyways. Kinda frustrating though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_onion Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Seems like it's been broken for about an hour. It'll be fixed some enough I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMELTN Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Ouch.. You know some of the people on my friends list have been on my friends list since steam was first released.. I don't even remember who they are or their steam names.. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasethebase Reporter Posted February 23, 2010 Reporter Share Posted February 23, 2010 I wonder if it will be restored. I'm adding the main people for now but I dunno if it will, or can be restored. Anyway half the people on my FL I didn't talk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViZioN Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yeah I lost the friends tab, but I couldn't still see people online through the Community groups. Seems to be back now though (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted February 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 24, 2010 So what does everyone think of the new UI beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasethebase Reporter Posted February 24, 2010 Reporter Share Posted February 24, 2010 So what does everyone think of the new UI beta? Alright, some things still need tweaking, which I've posted in the Steam forums, otherwise good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewism Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 So what does everyone think of the new UI beta? It sucks because I can start Steam anymore. It crashes right after I login. *Edit* Uninstalled it with: steam.exe -clearbeta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOC Veteran Posted February 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 24, 2010 It sucks because I can start Steam anymore.

Lewism Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Deleting this file didn't worked. I looked on the Steam forums. I am not the only one affected by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagisan Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Worked fine for me and it looks great. Never minded the old interface but updated interface with easier to find features and what not is always a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOC Veteran Posted February 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 24, 2010 Just an FYI, if you Opt-In to the beta UI and have Modern Warfare 2 installed, apparently a bug exists where you have to redownload the entire MP portion of MW2. I am downloading again now, 89% done (yay for fast intertubes) but I haven't seen anywhere if ranks/stats are lost because of this issue yet either. Gonna be kinda ticked off if I lose my rank :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted February 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 24, 2010 My rank and unlocks etc are all there. So, for me it's no biggie to redownload the 8 gigs since it takes less than 40 minutes anyways. But for others who are on metered broadband or don't want to waste the time it's a big problem naturally lol MW2 also seems to be one of several (large) games that have this issue as well. But, that's why this is a BETA after all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 You shouldn't lose your ranks or stats as they are held by Steam servers and not locally. ( Unlike the previous game(s) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted February 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 24, 2010 I did have the friends list issue earlier. It's working fine now though. I shouldn't have opted into the UI beta. Now I have to re-download 11GB of MW2 MP game data. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
