Steam’s interface is about to vary once more—or has already when you’re within the Steam Shopper beta—and I have been on the reciving finish of sufficient website design adjustments in my life to understand it will not really feel so incorrect for too lengthy. Besides that Valve managed to make the already unhealthy Screenshot Supervisor window even worse and it is ruining my week.
Valve launched an replace to Steam’s interface final week on the Steam beta shopper and at first I used to be pleasantly stunned. I am into the brand new look typically however I additionally observed my much-used Screenshot Supervisor window (previously Screenshot Uploader) had lastly gotten slightly love. Till the replace, it had regarded like this for years:
It was a bit clunky and ugly, however all I ever actually used it for was hitting the dropdown menu to discover a recreation after which hitting the “present on disk” button so I can truly handle these screenshots in my very own file explorer. Then this week I up to date my shopper and my first response was “oh, it appears to be like good!”
I used to be glad to get an app redesign that I did not instantly hate. However I used to be a idiot to be glad.
Simply hours later I hit that dropdown menu as standard, however the one two gadgets are my two most just lately performed video games: Cassette Beasts and the demo for Tiny Life. The place is my full checklist of video games, Steam? I would like my screenshots folder for Roots of Pacha to point out a good friend the progress on my farm. I would like my Phasmophobia folder to search out that screenshot of a pal rave dancing within the truck in VR.
For the lot of us swapping photographs on Discord or pulling them up in Paint to do a little bit of cropping, perhaps slightly memeing, this can be a devastating minor inconvenience. As a result of manually discovering your steam screenshot folder for a selected recreation entails realizing its numerical Steam app ID quantity.
If you’d like your Phasmo photographs, as an example, that’ll be at C:Program Information (x86)Steamuserdata[user ID]760remote739630screenshots.
I ought to be capable of simply go to View>Screenshots within the high of my Steam app bar, discover my recreation by its precise title within the dropdown checklist, and hit that good new open folder button. If it labored, that’s. Valve has launched three units of fixes because the preliminary redesign, together with different points with the Screenshot Supervisor, however not the dearth of a full checklist. I certain hope it is not supposed to be this manner.
Even people who simply add screenshots from their newest session to their Steam profile aren’t having a a lot better time. Over within the suggestions for the replace many cannot get screenshots to add publicly, solely with the visibility set to “non-public.” It additionally solely reveals the latest 30 screenshots, so when you took a ton in at some point or are simply attempting to add one thing older, you are out of luck.
When you’ve been equally and did not keep in mind that you are within the Steam beta (I did not) you’ll be able to decide out beneath Steam > Settings > Interface > Shopper Beta Participation. Hopefully, it is only a set of small oversights that can be corrected earlier than the replace will get to each different Steam consumer on the market.
