New Steam Library Beta Out NOW!

Oh I've just been using the Start Menu again for years now.
I'm definitely using this more than GOG Galaxy 2.0, now. I never really bothered with categorizing my games, but using store tags and simple drag-and-drop sorting makes things so easy.
I don't mind replacing the home button with the library stuff up top. Less redundancy in the menus is good.

That's not the case at least in my machine. I've got almost all the integrations enabled and get slightly more cpu usage on GOG (around 1% when idle). The plugins do periodic checks for new games/achievements/etc, so that might explain your CPU usage spike.
How do you show hidden games again?
I feel like it was in the library drop-down menu before they removed the home button, but maybe I'm misremembering.
Edit: Searching a hidden game makes the "hidden" collection appear, then it can be clicked to show them all. That's pretty convoluted.

An addendum to this, you can only search for a hidden game if the games aren't arranged by Recent Activity.
It's under View -> Hidden Games. It took me a bit to find it; it would make much more sense under Library.
I've been avoiding CD Projekt since they started tweeting out transphobic shit, but I'd jump on any other client that offered integration between libraries in a heartbeat. That's exactly what I was hoping Playnite would have. Being able to organize your entire library in one client would be incredible to me, instead of having to manage it separately in a bunch of clients, and having to remember where you own each game.

That seems like a pretty big feature though, imo. If Steam could do the same, and make the overlay work, it'd be great for comfy couch pc gaming if you didn't need to find extra workarounds to get certain non-steam games working well with Steam input. Heck, it could be better launching games through Steam than their own launchers if Steam worked that way. Could be good for Steam's marketing too if it would be a good way of keeping people on Steam instead of other stores / launchers.
There's nothing confirmed yet, but I'm sort of expecting the feature to become a standard option across most clients in the next 4-5 years.
Maybe by 2030 for Epic as well.
And so is "Collections", and both feel convoluted crap to use from there, which is why people are asking for those buttons to come back.
Yup. Was playing planet zoo and suddenly lost connection and now can't reconnect.
I had the option to, but then it got removed after I tried to reconnect multiple times.
The heck is "really down"?
I guess it's back to GOG for me, now.
EDIT: This is really weird. I tried going to Steam in my browser and nothing happens. No error from the server or from my browser itself.
That's not true actually, I think there's a setting or something you can enable or disable that makes games always available offline. I'm able to launch games right now and I was not in offline mode.
Sure, GOG too. It's why they'll always be the better platforms imo
If you are logged in you dont have any issue playing games (as long as you dont want to play online). Issue is that to log in you need to be online.
You can also manually launch a ton of DRM free even with Steam turned off btw.
That I'm not sure about, I think you have to enable start in offline for that to work but I could be wrong.
Where did you all come from, all of a sudden?
Came to see what people were saying about Steam being down. Didn't realize until I quit out of Rome Total War 2 to play Wreckfest that it was actually down.
