I'M IN!!

 

[RoadHazard]

Looks pretty damn good, but I've already noticed a somewhat significant issue: The menu you use for switching categories disappears off the top of my screen, making it impossible to see anything but the last few categories.

 

[ledman]

Onlive feelings.

 

[kennah]

"Could not connect to steam network"

I wonder how long this is going to go on for.

That's all I'm getting too

 

[SteveWinwood]

I'm at work for another 4 hours. Post screenshots please!

Okay.

 

[Chavelo]

IN! IT IS FUCKING GLORIOUS! THE WEIGHT WAS WORTH IT!

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Got it!

Too bad it lasts for about 20 seconds before crashing no matter what I do.

 

[RoadHazard]

Can't see how to get BPM to display on my TV rather than the monitor. WoW I can pick the display, for example. Not so here, or I can't see that option. Putting the window on the TV first and hitting BPM still makes it run on the PC's monitor.

I'm guessing you need to make your TV the main screen.

 

[Tattooth]

RT + Home button is a screenshot shortcut. Amazing!

 

[graywolf323]

I've got the button now

I'll have to hook my laptop up to my TV and test it out later, gonna head to the gym now though

 

[Kammie]

It won't connect.

I'm as excited for this stupid thing as I was the day I took home my PS2. And I'll probably just lose interest in 5 minutes anyhow. lol

 

[Kiriku]

D-pad not working. But otherwise it's pretty slick.

 

[Dmented]

Sooooooooooo goooooooooood.

 

[ShaneB]

Okay.

omg I'm in one of your pics!

... I sure can't connect

 

[Exuro]

Was messing around in the browser and it crashed

Really love the browser/typing though.

 

[gdt]

Let me connect you Jon Snows.

This is worthless unless every game on steam also has a big picture UI mode. Most PC games out there are unplayable on a TV because the UIs and text are so small.

No it isn't. The games that do support controllers will benefit greatly from this. It should also help push developers to have proper controller support and UI adjustments.

Every steam feature is worthless until devs are given the chance to adopt it.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Okay.

Thank you mister!

lol wat?

"most" is taking it too far. I've run into like 5. Mostly older text heavy RPGs.

 

[Razek]

I think the update killed my steam. I keep getting a windows crash log now.

Edit: Yes, got it this try!

 

[fluffydelusions]

glorious!

 

[Deadstar]

I can't connect to steam, can you guys stop loggin in for a sec so I can check it out?

 

[Cartman86]

It is sort of worthless in general if every game doesn't support controllers (games that could), but this is the step needed to get people to do that.

Anyways. I need d-pad support. I hate using sticks for navigation.

Seems like they want to use those buttons for other features. I could get used to it for that.

 

[Bsigg12]

I think the update killed my steam. I keep getting a windows crash log now.

I'm with you on that. It crashes 30 seconds after I launch it now.

 

[JustinBB7]

Man it's fucking awesome. Dat intro.

 

[gotee12]

My hopes is that this serves as the impetus for devs to start pushing TV-sized fonts. I'm going blind here with monitor sized text...

 

[BigTnaples]

I have yet to play a game that supported a gamepad that was unplayable on my TV due to UI or text.

For reference I own around 140 games on Steam. (Also a few on Origin and Impulse)

 

[Razek]

I'm with you on that. It crashes 30 seconds after I launch it now.

Ahhh crap. I finally got it to go but I had to disable pixel vision and now I can't connect again.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Hmmmm

My controller is downstairs but maybe they got the 360 middle button to work with it?

Nah who am I kidding it'll be on the controller they'll sell.

 

[blamite]

Downloading!

... a TF2 update. :/

 

[epmode]

Ah shit, it doesn't like x360ce. Unless I'm just not placing the appropriate files in the right folder!

 

[Dmented]

Has bugs. Mainly taking screenshots then after deleting them you can't see things on screen anymore.

 

[Haunted]

Looks very slick, I like it.

I'd like a borderless window mode so I can run it on the second monitor instead of it defaulting to my main display.

 

[Corran Horn]

So far cool

 

[Razek]

The browser sucks. It's really slow. Like 3DS slow.

 

[Chinner]

its really good and will work great on a tv. although while i'm on a pc with keyboard + m i see no need for it.

also is there an option to jump to chats quicker?

 

[Haunted]

Hmmmm

Nah who am I kidding it'll be on the controller they'll sell.

Indeed they have. Home Button on the 360 controller opens up the Steam overlay in-game.

 

[blamite]

Does the fact that I'm opted into the Steam Client beta have anything to do with why I don't have this yet?

 

[RoadHazard]

This needs to get fixed, right now:

I can't see the categories above the edge of the screen, so I can't see what I'm selecting, which makes my entire category setup completely useless.

And not being able to use the D-pad to navigate sucks incredibly hard. That's an oversight I can't believe they've made, considering how awful it is to navigate an interface like this using an analog stick.

Does the fact that I'm opted into the Steam Client beta have anything to do with why I don't have this yet?

I got the update the moment I did opt in, so no, that's not it. Try opting out and then in again, perhaps?

 

[Kiriku]

BTW, is there a way to automatically filter out all the games with no controller support in your library when in BPM? Otherwise they should add that.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Indeed they have. Home Button on the 360 controller opens up the Steam overlay in-game.

Holy.

Shit.

This makes it all amazing.

 

[Flunkie]

orgasm~~~~

Beta.

 

[Razek]

It should have updated and given you the button in the top right. Maybe try opting out and re-opting back in again?

I exited steam then re-opened it. DL'ed update instantly.

 

[Van Owen]

Love how you can just hit the home button on the 360 controller to launch into Big Picture Mode.

Only gripe is you can't navigate with the d-pad.

 

[blamite]

Okay, I just checked and it looks like I got automatically opted out again or something. Opted back in and updating now.

Wheeeeeee!

 

[Razek]

They need to let you disable sounds. They are really annoying.
