Steam overlay timer buggy, older version faster to use.
Hi
I was redirected from my support ticket to this forum.

Bug 1: the steam timer in the overlay does not shut off after exiting game, it will constantly show 'timer expired' in the lower right corner of the screen (Window 10). Only exiting steam entirely will cause the timer to stop. Unfortunately windows looses focus so i can not capture this in screenshot.

Bug 2: When playing on timer, and then changing it, the timer expiration will go off on the previous timers time, as well as the current timer.

Change Interface for timer comments (my personal experience only)

The previous view was so so intuitive. You can could click on intervals of 5 secs, 30 secs, 1 minute and increase with simple clicks. I was brilliant for some of the time based games I played,
I have carpal tunnel/rsi/tendonitus in my hands. Typing actually slowed things down - you had to go in focus, type the numbers, then go off focus/enter, instead of single click to change.

The new interface was confusing, but you have click inside to get the time. There was no quick way to change. So in the end, I had to set the time to my highest interval and calculate the time during game play. Which meant a lot more mistakes. Hey it works better than no timer, but the quick access to the common intervals made it a lot easier, especially when playing co-op, when time is of essence.

Thank you for your attention, I realise this a very low priority item, and I am not the type who likes to report bugs or comment feature changes (first support request in over decade on Steam). But I loved the previous timer so much, it just made playing so much easier and a joy for time related games.

thank you for listening, and thank you for maintaining such a great gaming platform.

Hi all,

I second this: The optional Mouse interface of the "old" timer was working great. While this type of interface in mobile solutions might be annoying, it works well with mouse control. The Interface should not make you to switch between mouse and keyboard more than once. And since you need the mouse to activate the timer interface after entering the overlay, pure mouse control for the timer is ideal. Also it would (at least to me personally) be preferable to retain the last used settings.

Also, I too experience the 2nd Bug, the old timer seems to be stuck in the background and when set to repeat it goes of every interval, without possibility to turn it of, other than to restart steam.

Also, thank you for Alyx, but please finish Half Live 3 soon!

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
