It's not you. Way slower. But that's why it's a beta I guess.

Uninstall and reinstall Steam. That might work. Otherwise, there are the troubleshooting forums. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=837

If only I could get into steam in the first place. If that were the case, I wouldn't need to get rid of it. I guess I'll just have to reinstall...

I don't. But have you tried resizing the window to be bigger? Just maximize it by double-clicking the top. Tell me if it works!

No that didn't work. And I noticed words are just cut off in the games tab and downloads tab. It is normal in the store page.

Thanks that worked. But I think I am just going to leave it cut off now. Normal font size is to small for me.

Okay, I found out how to get rid off it. Just launch Steam with the "-clearbeta" command. You can do this by adding "-clearbeta" at the end of the target path in your Steam shortcut's properties. Don't forget to remove the quotes.

Its is a really nice system, but some games had problems after the update, such as MW2. oh well, everything else works so well, i guess i could deal with having one game broken.

Is there any way to keep the organization of games the same as you set it when you restart? I like to keep it on installed games only, but it keeps reverting to all games every time I restart Steam or my PC.

This is so much better. You clikc on one of your games, and it shows stats, updates, and even the 50% deals to say "haha you paid more". It's more intuitive and modern looking. Finally not using some ugly UI interface.

Ouch the only thing is is it is now redownloading some games from scratch, such as MW2. I do like how it finally says better stats for the downloads area, only now I can see it's redownloading 7.3Gb.

Still, it is kinda big and bulky now. it needs a few font reductions and a compact Games menu option.

It's as big and bulky as the Games Explorer of Windows, except it has more features.

I don't like it.

Well it's really slow, none of the buttons work except for Library. It's crashed within the first 5 minutes of using it. Don't know how intuitive it is as the buttons don't work. I like the old black coloring better too then the gray.

I do like how the games section is now. Right now I'm going to stick with the old UI (especially considering nothing works) until the final version is released.

Actually, crap. Since none of the buttons work I can't figure out how to change it back. :|

Edit: I got it to change back through the website. Also I was wrong about the colors. Don't know why I thought the old one was black, but I still like the old color scheme better. I think it's because the new one is just one color.

Not having any of the issues that are described, guess I'm lucky. Although reverting back to old as well, since Bad Company 2 was $49 on the old UI, now it's showing $69 on the new UI. Has to be a glitch, because there's no way a dev would increase the price that much because it's actually selling.

Can hardly play any games with it. CSS stuttered a lot. Can't wait until the final version.
