    Yes, a whine about Steam. It sometimes takes forever to load for me. Other times it just never loads at all. Anyone else have this issue?

While we're at it, fuck the damn people who always change their steam names. It makes having a list of people so confusing. I don't even remember who most of my steam friends are because so many people change the name.

Oh, and another thing. Why the fuck did Steam discontinue the Steam Controller and Steam Link? Both had a lot of potential but they dropped them and left their customers in the dust.

    Steam always takes forever to start on my shit laptops. I think AVG on those systems contributes to Steam's glacially slow ability to successfully load.

You can add nicknames to people on your Friends List (and also group them by category). Takes like 10 seconds per person when you add them, and spares you of the issue you describe when people frequently change names. You can either have the nicknames replace their current name, or append the nickname to the end of their current name (I prefer the latter).

    What if your nickname for everyone is Asshole?

    Is it checking for updates at every launch? If so, have you tried launching it with "-silent"?

    Oh, wow.. No. And yes, I believe this may be the case. I'll try this out, thanks.

My fix has been just pressing crtl alt del and ending the Steam bootstrapper. It closes it out and then when I reload Steam, it's fine.

This happened to me a year or two ago. TFC randomly Uninstalled itself and I could never figure out why. I thought Doubleshot did it remotely after telling me to uninstall.

    Yeah mine has been good for a couple months.

Did it again a couple days ago and had to reinstall yesterday. Annoying.

Also been lagging bad yesterday. My connection is fine. Just with the server. 80ms which may not sound bad for some, but when you are used to 20-30 it throws things off for sure.

    Steam's been good for me. I play on a new Lenovo Legion with a Ryzen 7. TFC works like a charm except when I don't have it plugged in. Weird thing is, Doom Eternal doesn't have that problem.

I remember though back when Valve dropped support for WON and steam was super buggy and it wouldn't work on my computer. I was very spiteful. I didn't end up getting back on steam for like another ten years.
