New web overlay

Si · Fri Jan 02, 2009 11:21 pm

we all know about the steam overlay

here is the browser agent string:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; Valve Steam GameOverlay;)

It uses your default browser? Finally!

i have no idea what any of this means ;p

Skillers · Sat Jan 03, 2009 12:54 am

Ah, I saw Mozilla/4.0, :doh:

So it's still IE? bah.

Its stupidly hard to integrate with your default browser.

Skillers · Sun Jan 04, 2009 10:03 pm

Putting it to goo use, methinks.

Wynney · Sun Jan 04, 2009 11:25 pm

i browse when connecting to servers and for 30 seconds during setup time (give me time to alt tab back in game

)

Get the Steam Client Beta.

Wynney · Mon Jan 05, 2009 12:14 am

hmmm, what are the features and how do i use it? ^^

Skillers · Mon Jan 05, 2009 12:17 am

The features are browsing in game using the community window. You use it by going settings->account.

It Is Good, But I Was Pushing Kart, Then Si Back Stabbed Me. You Kinda Need To Do It For More Standy Still Games Like Css. Noob Camp And Web FTW

Skillers · Tue Jan 06, 2009 12:17 am

I think the idea is use in setup time/when dead, not when actually in combat.

You can't watch YouTube videos

Wynney · Tue Jan 06, 2009 6:52 pm

Hawke · Sat Jan 10, 2009 1:56 pm

I ought to give it a try

Skillers · Sat Jan 10, 2009 2:07 pm

I tried it, was alright, but seemed buggy. Also, my overlay locked up the other day.

Wynney · Sat Jan 10, 2009 2:08 pm

im switching back to standard, it's far too buggy, slow, and i didn't even use it anyway...
