There was. If you didnt update steam before the message appeared, you could edit an ini file and prevent steam from ever updating. If you see the message, it's too late.
even if you don't update you will simply lose the ability to connect with servers after support finally drops since your steam client chromium certificates will not match with current version. It's googles fault, not steams
How delusional are you? Nobody uses XP on personal machines anymore, at best you'll find it somewhere in an office functioning as a glorified typewriter.
I just want to keep playing my boring strategy and tactics games. FoG2 and Empires, Hegemony, AGEOD, maybe TF2 once ina while for nostalgia. Can I do all that on Linux?
What Linux dualboot should I put on my HDD to ease myself into getting into Linux fully before W10 is also on the chopping block? My main concern is getting vidya to work and a decent GUI. I don't want to fuck with Archtism just yet. Also I just thought up some autistic shit: You know how people trade their pokemon from like gens 1-3 all the way to modern games? Microsoft has backwards compatibility for most versions of Windows right? Has anyone tried "trading" (importing etc.) a document/app/whatever from the earliest versions of windows possible to W11? Actually now that I type it out you could just get a floppy drive and write a "hello world" to disk from any DOS-era operating system and run it directly on W11 so that was a waste of a thought process.
I have two SSDs but one is for games and my nvme has w10 on it and I have like 2 games on it already that require the ssd boost, how large are linux partitions?
the client is full on JEETware now pozzed by CEF (chrome) and features in the code will basically just not work on Win7/8 past 1/1/24
VALVe wont even give us a minimal version of steam to help compensate they're just going to cut off users entirely cause why not
Did Valve abdanon that version of steam that was literally just a list view of your games and nothing else? It was like the opposite of big picture mode.
You can put Steam in “small mode” but it’s still the same piece of software it’s not like the executable itself won’t rely on chromium anymore. They had an even LIGHTER weight thing you could do with a commandline argument (-no-browser) but that got nuked in the update to the new UI/Deck layout
Probably what they do already if you try being actually offline for more than 14 days on steam, tell you to upgrade/get internet then log in or fuck off.
so why are they breaking steam for windows 7 instead of just disabling store access? not being able to use the in client store wouldn't be a big deal since the web browser version would still be available to anyone who has a phone
First of all, imagine Steam being okay with you not having access to the store
Second, even the main browser tab relies on chromium IIRC. The album art display and such. I think you needed to use the commandline arg that launches steam in the little-tiny mode to prevent it from using Chromium but they axed support for that mode when they rolled out the new library UI
>Second, even the main browser tab relies on chromium IIRC. The album art display and such
oh, all that shit i already hated, good to know everything making steam worse in recent years is all related to each other.
that's pretty cool to see, odds are i'll procrastinate doing it until that method long stops working, but it's good to know people figured something out.

It worked for years on UI but eventually borked when one of the updates changed the way Valve’s certificates worked in server handshakes and once that happened the old clients couldn’t connect to the server at all, which killed it once and for all.
It is pretty stupid, the thing you actually need to play your games is Steamworks, chromium is just for the fucking client, it’s ridiculous that the actual game layer should break just because of client UI, but this is how Valve operates. It’s also ridiculous that the biggest game launcher in the world, built by a company which produces and maintains a fucking game engine, should basically boil down to “8 embedded google chrome tabs”, but here we are.
I hope you’re able to stay on W7 as long as you want anon.
windows 7 is currently <3% market share, I wouldn't say it's lazy - I'd say who in their right mind would bother hiring people to make stuff continue to work on it?
>too lazy
Why should they waste their time and resources supporting an OS that's been deprecated by its own developer? You're so fucking stupid it hurts.
>can I still access it offline mode?
For a time, yes. Ultimately you own nothing and will have to install latest Microsoft Windows(r) to access the software you licensed (not bought). Or suffer under Loonix.
>stubborn enough to not accept microsoft's shit and move to 10 >not stubborn enough to stop paying for games (like you already stopped for stuff like movies and music decades ago) and sail the high seas
Explain this. What's so appealing about paying for games in particular?
>3 years ago >get a new rig >motherboard literally incapable of running W7 >mad as fuck >forced to use W10 >have to bend over backwards disabling a billion features
My next PC will be a second PC. I'm not stopping my work on this PC ever.
Again, should've chosen AMD because unlike Intel they did not abandon CSM which allows BIOS-compatible OS' to run. Intel mandated that from 2020 CSM is not needed anymore, so vendors dropped it.
>using modern CPU with Win 7
Dude, you are genuinely retarded. Win7 has old thread scheduler that is not optimised for modern CPUs.
You literally paid for air and not using your hardware to the fullest.
How do I spruce up Win 10 a lil bit? Kinda tired of looking at my basic ass Titanfall 2 moving webm background, is there any thing I can do to make the taskbar look cooler?
why are people sticking with this anyway? there's ways to sanitize new windows installs, there are even one click programs to tell windows to fuck off. or just install linux already.
Why doesn't steam just give DRM free versions to people running win7?
This whole thing is absolute bullshit. Eventually this will get to the point where Microsoft will start releasing subscription based operating systems and Steam will force users into it by continuing to drop support for old OS.
Shit like this is why I have turned mainly to pirating. Fuck these DRM homosexuals.
Normies will, and they are the only ones that matter.
Which is great for you BTW. Valve is the only competent Loonix vendor. HDR support is only available in SteamOS due to SD OLED, which is hilarious in 2023.
Its not like steam isnt also on top of several other layers of software. Windows stopped being supported by microsoft, then more and more companies slowly stopped supporting them up until steam could no longer get security updates without also not supporting 7. Thats just the sad reality of it.
I'm too afraid to upgrade my windows. I know how to do it and did that on my old pc several times but it was ages ago and I'm afraid I will break something in my laptop this time
My honest recommendation is to backup everything important on a external hard drive and do a clean install. Just as a rule of thumb it always better to do a clean install when installing a new OS on any device.
If you are playing a multiplayer game and you are being obstinate then you can get fucked. Switch to linux if you don't want to use windows 10/11 that bad you fucking useless and technologically inept retard.
If you are playing single player games that are offline. You own a legal copy of the game, just pirate the cracked version.
You have three options. >stay on windows 7 and pray for an autistic work around >try linux and tolerate its community for the occasional troubleshooting >switch to windows 10 (windows 11 need not apply)
good luck win7 bros
Not him but go fuck yourself. We learned Windows because we were young and used it in school, it's like learning a language when young.
You're not going to convince anybody that they can learn Linux just like you're not going to convince anybody it's easy to learn a new language after using your current one for decades. Every time I have to use a fucking Apple product I want to fucking kill myself and I learned that in school too but it's clearly less flexible than Windows because it's designed for retards. And I'm sure you think people using Windows when Linux exists are the retards and that's fucking fine you can have your stupid fucking superior OS in the same way nobody operating an Apple product is going to switch to Windows.
Not him, but if you use the Desktop Environment "KDE", then all the keyboard shortcuts are the same as Windows. Valve is also using KDE, probably because of the similarity to Windows. (At least 7, I've never used anything past 7 in any meaningful capacity.)
The biggest hurdle is learning the Terminal, since it's how you install, uninstall, and update. But it's not that bad.
I'm gonna go with vanilla Arch because I'm already familiar with it. I've been meaning to upgrade my desktop and plan on doing local AI gen which is why I'm asking.
As long as you don't sit on the bleeding edge with kernel releases, and update it 0.1ms after new one is released you'll be fine. Basically use what is available in pacman.
It's all right...
I have to alt+tab to make some games load to the title screen, and GOverlay always causes crashes so I don't use it. Besides that, it works.
I just got an AMD laptop, and none of those issues happened.

Classic shell does not gives you 7 back. You are stupid for implying it does.
Don't listen to the win11 shills and troonix spammers, simply just turn off Steam's auto update. I turned that shit off back in April and can still play the few games I got on it.
Yeah yeah I'm getting a new one with Win fucking 11 for about 1.5k shortly but I was never less excited about getting a new one. It's useful for Blender and I might get Elden Ring but not sure what else. Games are so loaded with current thing cringe that games stopped being a main hobby for me
If my new one has trouble running Archolos I will just keep playing that on my old one.

get cheap, no less than 100$ aftermarket PC if your machine is too old for Win 10 or 11.

You can pry it from my cold, dead hands!
At least Windows 10 has some good and in depth custom classic/Vista/Win 7 aero themes and system tweaking programs now...
win 10 is a shitshow as retarded as that piece of shit 8.
I never paid for it and i still feel robbed.
Using W7 past 2020 is asking for malwares.

Do you seriously not have an SSD yet?
I have two SSDs but one is for games and my nvme has w10 on it and I have like 2 games on it already that require the ssd boost, how large are linux partitions?
idk man try a vm first?
uh oh forced upgrade looks like you'll have to move on from moms 2011 work computer
I don't get the point of these threads.
Anyone who continues to willingly get assraped by Microsoft deserves no sympathy or compassion.
What is it specifically about steam that wil not work on Windows 7, while basically everything else works just fine, even the vidya itself?

It is not just steam. Valve is just nice enough to warn you.
Probably what they do already if you try being actually offline for more than 14 days on steam, tell you to upgrade/get internet then log in or fuck off.
Chromium, which the store uses, is dropping W7 support.
Therefore every program using it will no longer support W7 by extension.
so why are they breaking steam for windows 7 instead of just disabling store access? not being able to use the in client store wouldn't be a big deal since the web browser version would still be available to anyone who has a phone

And the new UI is so bad that it isn't even remotely worth it.
Motherfuckers.
I like the new UI from an aesthetic point of view, except for the un-disable-able inline fucking ad tray at the top of the library.
The issue is, having every single goddamn thing running in CEF is not worth it. It consumes like a gig of RAM and is still slow as shit.
Google is too lazy to make the new Chrome work on Windows 7, they dislike Windows anyways. Use Chromebook.

And now I can still run it on windows 7, eat my dick steam.

Could Not Connect To The Steam Network
oopsie
Why the fuck are you still running windows 7?
>had to update to keep playing Garry's Mod (17+ years old game) because its developers are petty israelites and regularly update the game to not work if you're using an outdated Steam client
>Still using w7 because you are poor or stupid
who did you mean to reply to, friend?
I dont upgrade because you are an INDIAN.
Upgrade to 10/11 or install a Linux distro. Stop being an autistic retard.
Windows 7 is my teenage years. If I let it die, I need to admit that I am no longer a teenager.
Fuck GAYben Money Lost Steam games are not really yours
>think windows is a devil company that is destroying privacy and wants your internet search history to sell to chinese goblins or some shit
>instead of switching to linux, having a modern supported OS, and giving support to the one potential not cancerous option in the market, you continue using a microsoft product that is swiss cheese in terms of security and will continue losing support until it's basically unusable
What is this mental illness called?
>download my bought games on GOG
>everything will still work perfectly

Is the Steam Deck worth it or is garbage?
Windows 11 is like the iphone 15 of Operating systems. Functionally identical to the previous release.
I resisted upgrading from windows 7 and I finally got a new computer with windows 11 and it’s fine lol
In Windows 11, can I put my taskbar on the left side of the screen yet?
I am no longer asking
Install Linux NOW
