New Steam Chat App released

Shrug
I'll stick with discord, I think.
I just wish the steam groups wouldn't spam popups that I can't turn off (group announcements/events starting/etc) that I can't ignore except by signing out of steam friends.

They should update the main app instead. The chat already exists in the main app.

The updates were planned ahead of time before the Epic Store even opened. Their "new generation" started once Win XP and Win Vista were finally dumped (Jan 1st 2019). It's just that the updates have been disappointingly slow.

Does the Epic store have chat?

Do we really need continuing to talk about Epic in every discussion?

A single Steam app is more than enough on my smartphone.

They should just fix their main app which already includes a chat and NOT waste ressources and time for apps nobody asked for.

I'm going to reiterate this as well. Steam should update its PC client first, instead of doing all of these low priority things.

1. The scroll bar in the client keeps getting stuck if I don't exactly hover over it.
2. Images should not load all at once. I don't want to load all 1000+ images of games and freeze my computer.
3. Allow menu customization so that Big Picture Mode is not next to Small Mode.

Instead of updating the main app they made a separate chat client... I have mixed feelings about it. It is good that thay didn't broke the old chat in main app, it 100 times better. But if they made separate app - they can remove chat from main app eventually, and that's bad
Not to mention that web chat is still an unusable mess on mobile - I would really prefer if they fixed it, instead of making some stupid app for chat.

Well I would really prefer that they implement new chat into main app, but since they said that they wouldn't do it... this is better than nothing, I guess, will take what I can get. Hopefully we won't wait for mobile and desktop app updates for much longer either.

works fine, removed the old app and installed this. 💃
