Steam - Get old friends list and chat

[Shai 32 / 2,773]

Hey, I'd thought I will post a revert on the friends list and chat update that steam released to all users, some users will find it useful and will want to remove the disgusting chat update they made.

 

1. Create a shortcut for Steam.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\

2. Right click on the shortcut you just created and go to properties

3. Where it says "target" add "-nochatui -nofriendsui" after the file location.
should look like this: https://i.imgur.com/muumNi0.png

Make sure there are quotation marks around the file location like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" "-nochatui" "-nofriendsui"

I struggle to see how the new version is 'disgusting', it reminds me of Discord. Being able to attach photos and having stuff like videos show up in the chat is great.

when you have 50 chat windows open this new version tends to lag my shit and glitch out the steam ui feels bad mang.

So I have a problem. I followed the steps, but immediately ran into a predicament:

I don't have steam.exe, but assumed it was just simply steam. Out of frame as well was steam.exe.old, which also confused me. Anyways, I followed the steps, created a shortcut as you can see, added -nochatui and -nofirendsui, but nothing happened. Help me.

Steam.exe is Steam, it's the application pretty much yeah. Right click at steam and go to the properties and maybe put quotation marks on the flags? like this  "-nofriendsui" "-nochatui" pretty much the command line needs to be like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" "-nofriendsui" "-nochatui"

 

then you will need to launch the shortcut and not the normal steam application. tell me if it works.

That was my problem, not launching the shortcut. Thanks.

So, it was doing well, up until today. For some reason, it reverted back to the new stuff. I even double checked by creating a new shortcut, which also didn't work. pls hep
