    It should be noted the startup improvement was on Steam Beta before the release of the Epic Vibe Launcher but it is funny regardless

    It didn’t even take Valve a week to optimize their client after Epic updated theirs.

      I still can’t believe he basically ruled game engines after Carmack shot himself in the foot with IdTech Doom3 and megatextures, and fumbled the fucking ball this hard.

      He’s literally sitting on fortnite money ON TOP and STILL FUCKING UP.

      HOW?!

        When you’re on top, it’s easy to insulate yourself from anyone willing to tell you, “No, that’s a stupid idea!”

      No way that actually happened that’s hilarious. I’m guessing it just launched the first game that was installed alphabetically or something?

    I tried the update on two different machines (one with a SATA SSD boot drive, other with M.2), and my Steam startup time is still about 15 seconds on both.

      It been downhill since they went Electron, I don’t remember the old app taking more than 3 to 4 seconds. Since the Electron client loading times have been unpredictable sometimes 5-10 seconds and sometimes to around 30 seconds even though no updates available.

      Yeah Steam is cool and all but this is not its strong suit. It is rather hilarious to see every other app on my CachyOS install launch in the blink of an eye, and then Steam is really no different than it was on Windows.
