Another addition to the beta is that screenshots can now be saved in uncompressed PNG files in external folders. They can't be uploaded to the Steam servers yet though, but I expect that Valve will enable that option soonish.

Now if only there would be an option that would let you play games while connected to Steam without updating them, even if updates are available.

Some games have various beta updates you can opt into so surely it's possible for them to do an opt out system if they wanted.

If I remember correctly, a change in game updating is in the cards when the full steam catalog is ported to the new content system.

Offline messages are a welcome addition.

Now they should add back the chess and go boardgames you could play back in the day.

What?!

Haha, I'd completely forgotten about those.

Whoa! Never knew that ever existed! I want that!

The fact there's now recent chat history but still no actual chat logs is also incredibly dumb.

I never even realized that. It is sorta silly seeing as you could even store that locally with literally zero overhead.

reimplement multi categories per game next time please Offline messages are a great start

Opening a chat dialog with a friend will show some recent chat history

Thank you! Nothing like getting sent a link to check out, forgetting about it and closing the chat, and remembering later.

I don't use steam much but this is pretty cool. I guess with steam box coming they got to match features with PSN/XBL. Looks like everyone will end up winning.
