With some people disliking the new Steam Chat Interface and Buddies list I thought I’d share a way to revert the changes.
Windows users:
Go to your shortcut for Steam (or make one)
Right click and select properties
Under target add the two switches at the end of Steam.exe
-nochatui -nofriendsui
Your Target should look like this:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe” -nochatui -nofriendsui
Now, if you’re under Linux:
Right click on your desktop and create a launcher
Name your launcher Steam or whatever you want
Under command type:
./steam.sh -nofriendsui -nochatui
Under working directory type your Steam install location, normally it’s:
/home/yournamehere/.steam
Then you’ll be back to old school chatting in no time. :melon:
I may have to do this sometime, I hate the new chat UI so much.
Thank you! Just bookmarking this 🙂
No problem-o. I actually don’t mind it too much, but would like it if they had more options for a minimalist setup like other chat programs. :zorak:
