Oh yeah. If you leave a steam page open, it’ll create a very slow memory leak. Left store page open for about a week, came back to 6gb steamwebhelper xd
memory leak’s at a rate that doesn’t matter (~30mb/hour). That makes it hard to track down & reproduce. Also, solution would be to just navigate to your steam library or just not leave the window open like that :p
i haven’t because it’s been a completely unusable buggy mess ever since i’ve installed it, and it transitioned to electron, routinely uses 1gb of ram, 2gb on bad days. That’s 2 whole USD wasted, and that’s the price of CHEAP ram.
Graphics just don’t work, that might be an nvidia problem to be fair, menus are broken, buttons haven’t worked, refactoring the UI seems to make it slower. Scrolling a literal single web page is practically unusable due to lag and stuttering. If you use proton, and auto shader compilation, it’s useless because you can’t even configure how you want it to be run. Don’t want to compile 12gb of shaders for a game that’s 200GB? That you play 2 times a year? Get fucked.

Wait really?! Feel like that’s a bug that really needs addressing

no it doesnt?
It’s a web browser, it’s only going to come from one place lmao.
The Web.
yeah, and the answer is electron, it’s electron causing the memory leak, the solution is to not use it.
I completely forgot Steam used electron.

You can skip shader compilation. Also, it sounds like a driver issue. Electron has gpu suppport by default so it shouldn’t be laggy.
what kind of sane person is gonna leave a steam page open for over a week, though?
