Steam has forcefully re-enabled my chat and I can't disable it again (lemmy.world)

Does anyone know how to turn off chat so it doesn't pop up when I open steam?

The latest update has re-enabled it for me, and the option to not open it doesn't seem to exist anymore. I have it set to not sign in, which it doesn't, but it still opens the chat box every time.

Yeah...that's the point. THe chat now pops in your face. It's not the only thing that's obnoxious since the last update, on my Linux machines the Store tends to crap out since they enabled HW acceleration and 2/3 of the times it won't load at all. Pretty frustrating they threw this update without proper testing.

I feel like it's more buggy on Linux right now. When I switch workspaces the whole Steam window goes dark unless it's on library, so I started to do almost everything on the browser. Also, HW acceleration has a memory leak for me, it's starting to use my all GPU memory after some time and the fix for that is restarting Steam. Could be Nvidia's fault but still.

Yeah i also noticed a memory drain. Sigh... What a mess.

They should've used their own codebase, not Chromium or Electron. But here we are.
