Снова бесполезное обновление.

A new Steam client has been released and will be automatically downloaded.

New Downloads Page
The downloads page in the Steam client has been replaced with a new implementation and has been visually redesigned for clarity and ease of use.

• When a game/update is actively downloading it will now display the total progression completed for the download or update. Previously the progress bar would only display the downloading content progress but not the disk allocation process which would make an update to appear completed when it was not.
  
• Any partially completed downloads/updates in queue now will show a faded progress bar and percent completed next to it to clearly display its current state.
  
• A new (i) icon next to the game's title will reveal a tooltip displaying the types of content that is included in that update. Types consist of: Game Content, Downloadable Content, Workshop Content, and Shader Pre-caching. This icon only appears if the update is not solely game content.
  
• The download queue is now fully reorderable using drag and drop.
  
• The context menu for the actively downloading item now includes an option to launch the game when the download is complete and an option to suspend download throttling (if enabled) for the duration of that download.
  
• The "View News" button is now a "Patch Notes" link that will open an overlay to the most recent relevant patch notes for the game. This will only display for games that have entered patch notes into the new event system. The patch notes link will only show up on updates, not fresh installs. For workshop updates, a page of subscribed items ordered by update date can be accessed by selecting "View Updated Items" from the context menu.
  

Storage Management
The storage management section in the Steam client has been replaced with a new implementation.

• Updated Steam library folder UI for easy content management across multiple drives
  
• Allow mounting library folders on read-only drives
  
• Allow removing empty library folders on fixed drives

• Removed demo banner on hero image for some things that are not demos
  
• Fixed a library crash when right clicking on certain kinds of multiple selections in the game list
  
• Streamline new library folder creation during game install
  
• When starting a tool (like SteamVR), do not automatically navigate to its details page
  
• Change display of bits per second from "b/s" to "bps"
  

Friends List

• Fixed issue with the Friends List not loading correctly
  
• Fixed group chat notifications dialog being scaled down within the window
  

General

• Replaced taskbar notification area icon for Windows

• Library pinning process is significantly faster at startup after runtime updates
  
• Restore compatibility with NixOS (steam-runtime#431)

• Fix web views incompatibility with distro host freetype (steam-for-linux#7935)
  

SteamVR

• Fixed bug that prevented Steam from counting some USB-connected headsets when gathering data for the hardware survey. In general, the sampling of SteamVR sessions should have caught most of these cases, but this could have resulted in some undercounting.
  
• Fixed game hitching that happens to some users when USB devices are inserted or removed

• Fix steam:// URLs not being opened by Steam on startup
• Fixed steam:// URL events not being sent to currently running Steam client if sent from a different Steam instance

Только сейчас если честно увидел что Valve пытались поработать с ссылками вида steam:, и у меня спустя столько времени возник вопрос, почему они до сих пор не пофиксят, хотя бы в своих группах (Я уже не говорю про остальной интернет) клики по ссылкам вида steam://connect/css.ip-gamers.net:27205/.

Суть в том, что если такую ссылку сделать кликабельной, например запостить ее в обсуждениях Steam, то к ней автоматически добавляется еще и протокол https, что нарушает попытку пользователя войти на сервер.

Говорю как тот, кто сталкивается с этим на протяжении уже как трех месяцев. Ничего не исправлено, постоянно после выхода из Counter-Strike: Source Steam зависает на 4-5 секунд.
