https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3045036713 fix "friends network unreachable"

I wasn't able to open friends list and getting this "friends network unreachable" error recently, is steam starting to block older client builds?

Jin 13 Aug, 2023 @ 5:29am

Just tried the method, was able to roll back to the May 30 2023 build and continue using the -vgui for the metro skin.

fresser 8 Aug, 2023 @ 7:31am

the fix under me works

however dont use the steam metro download link, the site has been sold to a scam company and is now a microsoft support spoof site. to get it, copy the link into wayback machine and pick a version preferrably closer to May 2023, as june and july is where it starts to get broken. have a nice day yall

Rip for good this time maybe :(

Carolynne 2 Aug, 2023 @ 4:58am

Yeah last update abolished the -vgui trick sadly.
It also removed sp.css from steamui folder, the new .css file is called chunk~2dcc5aaf7.css for those of you who also wishes to remove What's New shelf.

Jin 1 Aug, 2023 @ 6:22pm

-vgui no longer opens old version of steam anymore

KRDTHAI 1 Aug, 2023 @ 6:20pm

Did the latest steam update fix the -vgui trick?

Jin 23 Jun, 2023 @ 6:12pm

大変助かりましたm(_ _)m
For those who cannot locate startup folder via shell command like me, just make sure the startup folder exist (%AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) and check regedit if value in User Shell Folders/Startup is the right path.

ぴーや 22 Jun, 2023 @ 6:12am

After you turn off the Steam autostart, try typing "shell:startup" to Win+R and putting that shortcut in the folder that opens.

WhyAlwaysMe 20 Jun, 2023 @ 5:11am

my steam starts with metro skin i just did the trick with -vgui... dont know

Jin 20 Jun, 2023 @ 4:27am

Is there a way to start steam automatically with -vgui mode, my steam starts up when I turn on my pc, at this moment I had to manually exit steam every time and restart via that shortcut trick.

FunDome 19 Jun, 2023 @ 12:38pm

It truly was an honor, metro will be missed o7

Carolynne 16 Jun, 2023 @ 3:55pm

Oh my gosh, thank you so much Kuro ! That worked like a charm, I'd have never imagined! I use shortcuts on taskbar, but still a shortcut nonetheless! Thank you kindly.

.ver 16 Jun, 2023 @ 3:16pm

i'll never forget metro 4.4, objectively the finest looking steam skin to ever exist

Kuro 16 Jun, 2023 @ 9:31am

If someone wants the old ui, create a shortcut to steam on the desktop, click properties, and in "Target" add -vgui. Now turn on steam from that shortcut and you have the old ui!

With this, you can go into the interface settings, and select the metro skin again!

PhantomGamers SFP allows applying a version of Metro theme. It's not perfect, but its better than this crap Vavle has released.

senji 15 Jun, 2023 @ 9:33pm

o7 redsigma and metro were the goats for making steam tolerable to look at

All I want is for the horrendous top/ bottom bars of the default UI to not be as thick as they are, can current CSS edits change that? I don't even care about the position of buttons and the like anymore, I just want a UI that doesn't force me to have the equivalent of black bars on the client permanently lmao

Dja 15 Jun, 2023 @ 3:53pm

miss it already, gone but never forgotten o7

Bbeny237 15 Jun, 2023 @ 11:11am

Today is a very sad day, Metro skin you will be remembered as the best skin that ever existed. I fucking hate basic steam UI why they always have to mahe umpates warse the versions before WHY? :(

Noxtron 15 Jun, 2023 @ 10:41am

Metro skin, rest in peace king, you've earned it.

Phoniandƒłore 15 Jun, 2023 @ 2:02am

Is it possible to install an older steam version and block updates check?

Dema 15 Jun, 2023 @ 1:32am

Why would they remove the skin feature RIP Metro

xAvoider 15 Jun, 2023 @ 1:09am

bruhh ;(

Brooklyn Baby.' 15 Jun, 2023 @ 1:09am

rip metro

.Orange 15 Jun, 2023 @ 1:04am

instead of whoever that steam dev is that got us this magnificent update that fixed more things that weren't broken and removed features; valve should hire people who were keeping this skin up to date.
maybe we'd have good looking default interface for steam for once.
