Guys... this is going to be huge

heh heh heh....$0.69...

...

is that the client?

...

holy shit

 

[jshackles]

Dude. DUDE. WHAT. Is this just a mock up of the real deal?

This is the real deal. Alt+PrtScn, paste into paint (then edited out friends for privacy reasons) then uploaded to web.

I am currently working on making more and more features work with the client.

 

[brotkasten]

starting to think it was all these returning games

That would be slightly disappointing. The big batch of games seemed to be more than just some of the returning games (Ghostbusters, IP/Fahrenheit, ...?).

 

[Shalashaska]

Guys... this is going to be huge

Nice!

 

[Accoun]

there is a local nginx reverse proxy running that intercepts the Steam web traffic and injects the appropriate javascript. It's not just working on the client, but in any browser, including internet explorer.

It's basically a local man-in-the-middle attack. Except the "man" is you.

Ew. Is that even safe, or does Valve don't care/can't detect on their side whether you do something like that?

MEGATON

 

[jshackles]

So for this to work do you need to install something in the Steam folder or is it just the same as the extension ?

There will be a separate installer you'll need to run to make this work. In the beginning, the installer will probably only work with Windows, then branch off from there.

Ew. Is that even safe, or does Valve don't care/can't detect on their side whether you do something like that?

AFAIK, Valve can't detect this on their end. The request is still coming straight from your PC, and only the return request is being altered.

Saint!

But jshackles I beseech thee, if Valve were to update or alter the client, would you theoretically be able to still do this?

Man I am all in!

 

[Zeknurn]

People use the client to browse the store? The more you know...

Nicely done.

It's not in the client (if I understand correctly), it alters the content when it enters your PC, before it even gets to the browser/client.

 

[jshackles]

Saint!

Any changes to the client shouldn't affect this. Since this works with any browser (and Steam is just a browser) it will work*

Spoiler

assuming Valve doesn't move away from a web-based store for the client.

People use the client to browse the store? The more you know...

You'd be surprised - it's the number one question I've heard since I made Enhanced Steam last year. Apparently, people don't trust their web browser enough to give it their Steam password.

 

[Fuu]

Enhanced Steam in the client is one hell of a gamechanger.

[ohblahitsme]

My first real Steam thread! WOOHOO!

 

[adriano999]

Max Payne 3 still is not working, what the fuck is going on?

Did you try this? You can't run the game directly from steam, but it works from a desktop shortcut.

 

[Tagyhag]

You are a SAINT jshackles!

People use the client to browse the store? The more you know...

I do it, I'm too lazy to open it through the webpage.

 

[Tecl0n]

Damn it. My psu and gpu got fried. I only had enough money for a new power supply. What runs on HD 3000? I'm guessing Super Hexagon and Spelunky work. Maybe Don't Starve? And i got MGR on the sale

 

[Freezard]

Congrats jshackles on the job

 

[Pops Maellard]

Jshackles works for Valve by now, right?

RIGHT!?

 

[Vazra]

Laptop? Follow "billyevans" guide from this thread: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/943498-just-cause-2/65018447

Yeah, because if you're only using the "/dxadapter=0" trick, jc2 runs with your integrated graphics card.

Thank you very much. Fixed and runs between 55-70fps on the benchmark I tried. If anything tone down some shit on the settings if it dips lower but running fine atm.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Did you try this? You can't run the game directly from steam, but it works from a desktop shortcut.

Not yet but if the situation doesn't improve I'll have to, I shouldn't have to ask for workarounds to launch a modern game because of a developers incompetence though. Mass Effect refuses to load on my rig and I've sucked it up as it's not recent but Max Payne 3 is though.

Now that we are really talking about the client here....Why is it so slow? The web version is very fast, but the client is so slow.

 

[zkylon]

Guys... this is going to be huge

wait does that mean what I think it means?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

nicely done brah

you deserve it

now seriously why is hl3 taking so long

 

[MulderWasTaken]

pretty surprising considering wizardbox is dead.

So I can still hope for Gray Matter?

why not both? D:

Oh shit that is awesome!

 

[Syphon Filter]

How you know he works for valve now?

 

[Bboy AJ]

That's amazing!

 

[jshackles]

Now that we are really talking about the client here....Why is it so slow? The web version is very fast, but the client is so slow.

Steam's web components (based on Webkit) are very

Spoiler

VERY

outdated. Their website is snappy and fast, but it all depends on the rendering engine.

It's like... the difference between IE6 and Firefox. You can load the same webpage in either browser, but Firefox is going to render it faster because it's well optimized to do so.

he got hired by the garry

If only

 

[GK86]

I think it is about time I checked out ES.

Amazing stuff.

You are a man among men.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Why would Valve build in a competitor price comparison system into their own client?

 

[dark_inferno]

I wonder when steam runs flawlessly again.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Congrats jshackles on the job

RIGHT!?

You guys really think Valve wants to advertise cheaper prices from 3rd party sellers?

 

[Rickenslacker]

Guys... this is going to be huge

:O With this and adding custom wallet amounts I might have to start using ES! Not that you weren't doing fantastic work otherwise, I'm just not the kind of user that needs more than the unenhanced basics already offered.

 

[Parsnip]

New thread!

And ES on the actual client, awesome!

 

[Ezra2680]

Just finished off Blood of the Werewolf and Castle of Illusion. Werewolf is alright. Not a bad little game but man..getting knocked around when getting hit drove me nuts in the later levels.

Castle of Illusion is just a sweet and charming remake. Its a remake done right. Looks and sounds great, Mickey looks great and I just had a smile on my face when playing it. If you are a fan of the original Genesis game then by all means by the remake. You won't be disappointed.

I had fun with castle of illusion, but I failed a few times on the last boss and found the worst thing about that game. You can't skip cut scenes.

 

[MulderWasTaken]

oh the groupees bundle with Driftmoon on it added a bonus for 45k bundles sold (they finally admit that they were never going to hit the 100k), wonder what it is

Hopefully is episode 5 of the Doctor Who Adventures.

Awww yissss, looking forward to this working within the Steam Client.

aww mannn

you probably didn't ask him nicely enough

 

[Rhaknar]

they wouldnt, which is what many people dont seem to realise Shakcles just found a way to put the ES stuff on the client somehow

Planning to pick it up whenever I have spare money. I'll leave some opinions then.

Cool the first great update to Steam arrived for 2014.
