Hi guys. Does anyone here use Steam on here with W11? I am currently on the Windows Insider Program and on the W11 Release Preview Build. When I tried to launch Steam Client, it said unable to connect to Steam Network. I went into Steam exe properties, and set it to run as Admin. Thing is, Steam said next that it is in "compatability mode", and to disable any compatability settings in the Steam exe properties. Anyone here with W11 get Steam Client to connect to it's Network? Help appreciated :)

If compatibility mode doesn't work, then you probably have to wait until launch, there might be a compatible build when windows 11 officially come out, 10 days to go until windows 11 launch date.

I've ran Windows 11 since the first beta build and Steam has always worked perfectly fine for me.

Did you upgrade from Windows 10? Did you install Steam recently? Do you have any other network problems you can blame it on instead of Windows 11?

    Steam DRM was inspired by burning CDs. Who could've guessed. :P
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can you believe I've never played any Half Life game, or the Orange box. Been meaning to, I own it, just haven't played it yet.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Wow, I never knew that. You should totally play Half Life. Great game, I tell ya.

    Played a little Portal way back, but didn't care for it. Should give it another go.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Oh god, Portal. I got stuck in the middle of making a portal on a wall, and trying not die in the pit. Can't remember what level it was, but this was a decade ago. It just feels too difficult.

    First few levels you know what you're supposed to do, but afterwards, they don't tell you otherwise, you have to memorize everything.

    Since I'm not touching fake Japan asscreed, I'll be giving a try to Valhalla. I bought it on release but never played it. X

    They should've continued making Rabbids games before they fall off the earth. If Nintendo has Super Mario, then Rabbids should be their mascot for all their games. Make a lot of money.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Skelletonike, Valhalla was pretty good, slow at first but gets better as goes. Not quite as good as Origins or Odyssey tho, imo
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    The game has so many options, many pointless, but no option to change the audio settings? I like when I can put the sound to work better with a soundbar or stereo equipment, I think previous games had it? Weird
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I really like origins for the world itself.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    But not as an assassins creed
