The Steam Community beta |
|
Dont know about you guys but this thing is pretty sweet. You should set up a TSGK group. If you dont know what Im talking about then click on steam, go to the link towards the bottom that says settings. Then you must click on the "change" tab under beta participation and change it to the steam community then restart steam. If you cant participate then you need to restart steam first then do the steps. Being beta and all it has a few things missing still it seems. Admins cant make officers from steam and you cant join a group through steam but you can invite. Never fear though as you can simply go to thesteamcommunity.com website and join from there. For example, if there was a TSGK group more then likely you would just go to http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TSGK and join the group from there. This thing is gonna be a big help to bringing together the steam game communities.

So, let's get this right. If I get an invitation from someone to join a group then all of a sudden I can see everyone in that group?

There are public groups you just can join without any earlier invitation and restricted groups who need you to be invited by an admin or other group member (depends on the setup).
The played games, time and some other stuff will be tracked for all groupmembers together. Also you can use it to track your friends or join a group chat (similar to normal friends chat but for more then only 2). You can set you personal profile page up (called STEAM ID) and upload an avatar, add some infos and so on.
Overall they didnt research the wheel new but it could become a nice addition for community stuff because its supposed to work comfortable from ingame. A Webchat is better to chat and a Forum is better to share info´s but non of this 2 is "quick and easy" to reach from ingame.
In addition will the new system work across all Steam Games. Not only some as in past.

Me neither. Pretty interface, but not user friendly. And I find that the shift + tab option is most conflicting with my style of gameplay, such as if i check the score whilst running, then the score comes up, steam beta comes up, and im locked running forward with no control until i press esc or tab.

you can change that option to any key you want. Just go to settings, then the in-game tab.

I've uninstalled it, it looked ok, but it completely screwed my server browser, the ingame console never worked at all, no servers in favourites or history. Exit the game and for 5 - 30 minutes the server console would just show IP addresses all with a ping of 2000. If you try and fail to join a server, you're back to square one again.
I'm really looking forward to the day this is an auto update

Its still so annoying... i dont want to have to press a button to type "lol" to something funny some1 just said.. then press another button to get back into game.
I also had the same problem as cannon... half my favourites dissaperared and i have been getting much higher ping (200+) where i have usually been getting around the 60mark...
Im not going to uninstall it... we will all have to adapt so im starting now

old friends: press esc (easily reachable!) for main menu where you can acces all. Friends, console, find/create server etc.
New friends: everything is same apart from friends (perhaps the most used of them all) where now you have to press another set of buttons to access it :/
Its very annoying for me

I removed this steam beta chat, it kills my FPS and makes my pc lag , also very glitchy eg: pop ups ingame black boxs flashing and a steam sound plays when I send text to someone. I don't need a sound to tell me I just sent a message.
Why not just use MSN if you want to chat alot? Why not use the steam chat that we all ready have on steam.
Anyway thats what I think... I don't plan to reinstall it after it's out of a beta, I don't want more problems and I don't see the need for Steam Community.

Bad FPS ingame and PC mega lag!! was the main things why I uninstalled this chat thing, it made dm unplayable. I just wanted to post the other bugs they are not as bad as bad FPS and mega lag, but I don't want bugs when playing games.
Like I said before I don't see the need for this steam chat.
PS: I like your comment sargE if only there was a button to turn off lag and poor FPS.

I think you guys are crazy. There is no indication that the steam community has anything to do with lag or bad fps. If your getting this in the tsgk servers you should talk to Osirus because Ive been getting terrible choke in a bunch of tsgk servers of late and that isnt because of the steam beta, its the servers. I know this because I only am experiencing it in the tsgk servers.
