throwback to the time i literally had to reinstall steam because the store couldnt go three seconds without freezing my entire computer

chromium moment

honestly i don't even blame the poor steam dev team at valve, steam's entire codebase is held together by scotch tape and rubber bands at this point

Must be some sort of cache thing, i guess uninstall and reinstall if it gets too annoying but it sounds you can use steam fine after that so

I've had the black rectangle appear for me only for a few seconds before actually loading in.

steam is just glorified a chromium browser this is basically intended behaviour atp

Steam pretty commonly just decides basic features just shouldn't work

Not that specifically but I tried to buy the funny hello kitty game, steam declined my card, took the money anyways, the servers shut down, came back up, I don't have the money of my game

I already sent a support ticket thing but still I WANT MY GAME GABE

Yeah I've gotten lots of variants of this sort of thing for a couple of years :(
I think it might be related to scaling differences with multiple monitors? (at least in my case)
