Launching a game means that the entire Steam Window fades and it will become entirely unusable until the game starts. That is not a separate startup window, thats just an embedded element inside the main one. If you accidentally click outside, the game startup gets canceled.
It is a bit more than mildly frustrating when Im waiting on the Vulkan shaders for BFV for like half an hour to process.
I use steam very irregularly and only for a couple small games. Is this something a lot of people do? Never occurred to me.
Steam has 120 million active users a month and 60m a day, so yes it’s something a lot of people do.
It’s by far the most popular PC game distribution in the world. Yes, people launch games and then browse while waiting.
I’m curious how many steam users actually browse while waiting for a game to launch. I know they have a lot of users but I can’t imagine more than one or two percent actually do this.
That’s actually what I meant… I‘m certainly aware how large steam is…
I have an m2drive I’ve never had to wait. Upgrade your storage, then no waiting. Even when I had a hdd I never waited. So this would have been a surprise to me.
