1911 Beta

Is anyone else getting a steam update?

I just loaded steam for probably the first time in a couple days, and I'm getting a prompt for an update. I can't cancel or deny the update, because it causes steam to close. If I try to let the update run, it gets to a certain point and fails stating my internet connection dropped.

Looks like this:

I've never even seen a steam update window like that. Try disconnecting your computer from the internet and see if steam will start in offline mode. Maybe that will reset something?

yeah, i've never seen a steam window like that. Anything i get from them is a black box with the green lines for updates.

just got home and booted my computer up, didnt have a steam update :>

you are now downloading the h4x p4x

If I start Steam offline it immediately errors out, no Offline mode option.

I tried deleting my Client Registry.blob file, which normally fixes anything... same thing happens. Weird Steam update window.

reformat.

Lol, reminds me of the early years of steam.

Oh sweet, a steam update! Maybe they fixed the friends list!

5 minutes later

Brb reformatting

Just tried again and now the weird update is actually working.

Or so they want you to think

Posted my background just for shits and gigs.

What version does everyone else have?

That wallpaper is awesome!

Just rebooted and got that stuck on this

you don't need to reformat, steam have released a fine update this time around: you can now leave messages to your offline contacts on your friend list. that's something community have been asking steam for quite a while... don't format, just let the update run and check your actvity feed to check how many messages you've actually lost due to someone suddenly going offline. i had 137

I'm guessing they were just having server issues yesterday or something, not being able to handle the updates. Hopefully any one else that gets the message today will just update and work fine.

On a side note, I forgot to post this as well:

OH, this is apparently a beta update. Would explain the shitty looking update window.
