How do you like the new STEAM library?

It*s fine 👍 Could use some improvements here n there.
Got bigger issues in life.

View attached image.

There's too much memory footprint and bloat.

A more efficient, slim-lined version would have been better. These's an unnecessary lag for waiting for thumbnails of games to load in my library list as I try to scroll through it. Previously, such searching through my library would have minor, ignorable lag. Now I have to wait for exuberant processing to slow down my computer while driving up my electric bill even before I can begin to try to find a game I want to play that was more easily accessed in my library in the past and before I start to play it once it's finally found.

I'm wasting time and electricity before I can play.

How much extra electricity is being wasted while Steam now runs in the background of every Steam gamers' computer on Earth? I'd like the GUI and everything else about the software to approach closer to a zero memory and energy footprint with each new improvement instead of becoming more wasteful and decadant.

I don't think I've gotten it yet - but I haven't had steam update in the past week or so, either.

My potato can't handle it even with the low spec settings that they include in the options :'(

My only issue is the lack of Expand/Collapse All in the Categories/Collection. I don't know why valve would remove such a useful feature.

it lags
it has hugeass tiles you can't resize
in the old library you could do it.
more functions!
is it a mere coincidence that ea is back on steam and library looks like origin now?

It's absolute shit. They were trying to emulate Epic's terrible library for no reason when nobody even liked it.

It’s not bad.

Kinda reminds me of the GOG one

I like it overall but can't filter games by os

It's great. No more trash from syndicated piss rags.
I don't care about fancy animation or community content so I'm glad that could be disabled.

By the way, for those who are as "bright" as me: go to Steam settings, you can make the library elements smaller and disable some unnecessary shit. You can also delete some of the sections of the Steam library or even add your own. It looks slightly better when you customize it a bit 👍

I just really want the icons on the left gone and have my games in text, it all feels rather cluttered and overwhelming.

I'd imagine for those who has 500+ installed games it would be useful, I know I like it so far. Also appreciate the filter options according to store tags coughnuditycough. Lets me choose which games to play when I'm bored and don't know which one to fire up.

Edit - I think they'll still add the legacy library option in the future although it should've been an option to begin with.

It's ok. if they fix the bugs I might like it 🤷

The thing i hate in the new design is possible spoilers via screenshots.

As far as the design itself, it's fine, if a bit too cluttered. Less wasted space than the old one, some things are more easily accessible and so on.

But I don't like the bugs, memory leaks and the general memory footprint of it.

Don't like it at all.

1. I know I have potato laptop, but with low bandwidth and performance mode I still need to wait for game page to load, and when I leave it in the background for few min whole library just goes black...
2. I don't like this focus on social crap. Steam client is my way to open my games.
   As others wrote above - I want to see my achievements, my DLCs, my screenshots. And it's all shoved to the side and not easily visible. So most of my games have huge empty center due to no-preload of community content. They should allow us to pick what we want to have there, like with Steam profiles.
3. They changed game thumbnails from horizontal to vertical. It does make library look like it was designed for tablets and touch screens, not PC screens. Also many devs do not care to upload new images for long dropped games so it looks ugly.
4. There is this one nice thing of highlighting if game is SP, MP, co-op etc... what for when it's not visible when game has bright background? As those are white icons without any background border?
5. You have those "community hub" "guides" etc tabs on top. IMO they should just open content in social-space. Not open new window. Esp in case of guides...
6. If I have no cards left to drop this showcase should be hidden or just show one line with actual badge level. Now on all pages I have big box with grayed out card images.

So give ability to customize content so I can have:

1. My achievements.
2. My screenshots
3. DLCs
4. Friends who played

And I will be happy.

Where's potato option?

I don't hate it, definitely prefer the old one, but I also participated in the beta and was too lazy to change it back. Now that the option's gone, I do miss the old library.

i fckn hate it. sooo mad

I suppose I should reserve judgement until I learn more about the new library and how to modify it.

It's terrible. Why do I need a giant banner at the top of the page taking up a third of the screen? There is so much clutter too. The activity thing is useless since we already have a dedicated page for that. Same with the trading cards box. I guess it's time to check out GoG Galaxy 2 instead.

I dont even know what games i have anymore. Pretty cool Volvo.

Finally they fix the render glitch in the library, now when i back to my library from forums or community i dont need to move the cursor over the screen to "force" the render, this fix is now in the beta, im still waiting for the upload screenshots window that should appear after exiting a game.

The best thing Valve can do is give us the option to choose between the old UI and this new one that made my library looks like facebook with all those community and friend stuff.

I Looove it! I just want them to add the "Horror" tag. EDIT: i found out you could add any tag, very convenient!
