Good idea anyway Bidule to test it and see it can still works. Like that I know in case of "extreme emergency" I can sadly let go my old Vgui version, and let steam autoupdate from my June 2023 version to the latest compatible one.

hello
just be carefull , because if for any reasons you need to re install the client , you can't anymore unless you made a saved before ( 2 folders and to be more secure the registry also just because of one parameters ; GPUAccelWebViewsV2 that should be set to 0 in order to prevent gpu accel issue with some nvidia card ) or using our OP guide .. at least under w7/w8.

note ;
it seems the last client does not work under w8/w8.1 even with the reg setup for gpu accel and you need to set the steam.exe under compatibility windows 7 sp1 but can't confirm as i am too lazy to setup a vm with w8 and the steam client but if some need to know i can do xd

I didn't quite get it. Did this new January update installed on your steam on w7 or not?

hello
aye the client updated but does not changed it release number as it just updated some vdf files on launch and changed the red banned content :
update_hosts_cached.vdf
.cef-dev-tools-size.vdf
both files are located on root folder of the steam client

and it did it again while i was running it today as you can see

this is the old banner we get xd

but nothing has been downloaded on package folder since last client "real" update meaniing it contain everything needed for the last working steam client under w7 ( note this update has been done after the cef 126 update so steam is taking care of it customers , more or less xd )

Yeah, using steam.exe/main steam binary is the only way to create a new installation on unsupported systems nowadays. Of course, it is linked in the guide.

hello
perfect, as you did a great job for the w7 community with others peoples.
So thx again @lightwo

hello
https://i.postimg.cc/ZRZXGrHQ/Capture.jpg
here is the last steam client running under my sandbox without using the steam.cfg with both paremeters lines inside.
and i've pressed "check for update" under the steam top pulldown menu.

The client recieved a small update during january ( as you can see with this new red warning on top of it ) but version has not been changed : mostly 2 vdf files and may be more

But you can't install it anymore even using the steamsetup.exe under w7 as it will not download the full client anymore, even the last not working cef 126.

So i guess unless you made a backup of it before ( if you need to clear install or install it again ) or following our OP guide, you won't be able to install it anymore because during the download , an error windows will pop saying you need to be online to finish downloading the full client
i have posted a screenshot of it on cozy or somewhere else

hello
unfortunately no xd
first you need to save your steam folder where you find the steam.exe and it's better to save it without any game downloaded ( around 900mo compressed under 7z )xd
and then you need to save folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Steam
and last for more security but i guess steam will re-create it on launch the registry entry located at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam
because now it's not possible anymore to download and install the steam client from the steamsetup.exe anymore unless unzipping it and using instruction from our op guide

hello
i think you can't unfortunately.
i remember i've tested csgo when they upgraded it ;
i was able to launch game, play with bots , join lobby but as soon as i try to launch a real match from the lobby, i get booted out...

hello
aye it does not work with old steam release because it use recent steam api ' 021' but honestly who care about a f2p lootbox live services ...
the market is allready overstaturated with this kind of stuff ...

hello

i've noticed nothing special, played it 5 minutes and everything seems working well, except at end after pressing the quit button when it always crashed on exis( about ntdll.dll)
using w7 home 64bits and steam from april 2023
i did not made more deeper tests but i do not think your problem is linked to steam but more by something you have on your comp

hello
are you talking about this game ?

hello
So it's link to a particular mod from this game ? i just tested one randomly in order to play an online match , i will try survivor to see if it crash as you described
aye it does not work ; it crash at end of loading with steam from april 2023

I think the latest patch now fixed it.

EDIT: Nevermind, now it crashes when using radial vocalizations.

hello
Good to know so may be there is some radial shortcut to bypass this issue ...
Seems better than if it has been recompiled to use new functions from the 1.60 sdk and definitively stopped working on w7
