Steam Big Picture Mode, old version in 2024

[@Razyizhere]

scince i joined steam in 2022, i really missed the old steam big picture

[@Baggy]

i like the new big picture, but i really think it's only good for the steam deck, Valve really should have kept the option to keep the old big picture mode since a lot of basic controller customization is hidden under obtuse menus in the newer big picture. it was so much easier to customize your controls the way you'd like in this version...

[@theeblueguy__]

yeah, I sometimes miss this version to be honest

[@RedactedsLair]

+ the old one has a browser

@@theeblueguy__this is pretty much useless to me, i play on the deck and the old big picture was more use with an actual ability to disable the controller so non steam games work with the controller.... otherwords they removed it so you have to buy from steam or find another workaround

[@kaakop4]

honestly way better than the current one

[@theeblueguy__]

yeah, I kinda like this UI better

[@pantheryt82]

why did they get rid of this? on my tv i can barely see the options on the new big picture

[@theeblueguy__]

probably because this UI was very old, regardless I like it more than the Deck UI

[@Idiotgaming-ny8ql]

so retro

[@emilio-yw7yt]

How do i do this

[@RFrappuccino]

downgrading the Steam client to an older version with the -vgui option and then click "help" and afterwards press alt+enter
