    If you are trying to fix your existing Steam installation by replacing it with the one in this video, and if you have Steam on a drive other than C:, then understand that there are more steps required to make it work than this video talks about! You will need to rename your existing Win7 blocked Steam folder to something else so you can use parts of it later, modify the ini files that come with the replacement steam installation to direct it to where your Steam folder will be, then after putting the replacement Steam installation next to your renamed Steam installation you will need to copy some (but not all) of the folders and files from your renamed installation to the replacement installation (such as \Steam\Games icons, but NOT that 1 non-ico folder you will see in there I found this out the hard way just get the game icons and copy them to your replacement Steam's Games folder!). SteamApps has to be copied as well, if you don't want to have to re-install all the games again individually. I've had pure hell getting everything to work right on a guy'g gaming box it's taken me two weeks to get Steam working again with all his games on Win 7 Ultimate but that's what he wanted so.... it can, be done! Just saying...

      Stop giving Valve your money and we can watch them file bankruptcy and laugh at them remember Valve we're in control not you think this idea doesn't work it worked on Dollar Tree it can work on Valve too.

      I hope Steam goes bankrupt in all honesty for being control freaks we are the customer and they SHOULD be listening to us and not the crack of their ass I hope Valve reads my comment we gave them power we can take it away that's why it's called WE THE PEOPLE nobody give Valve another cent until they meet our demands.

      Hello, I appreciate the comment and about the problem you are facing with Steam, Is the Friends list or the Friends tab showing? (Because if it doesn't show, that means you haven't installed the "friends patch" that I demonstrated on the video, and without it, it would show that you are offline.

    So just clarifying. If people do this, the steam client/browser won't update anything etc. Meaning any patches or updates won't be applied because it thinks > Oh yeah closet it closed, says all good. Is it fair to say we trap the Steam browser into groundhog day?

    • @unknownscout4052
      @unknownscout4052  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes it would stay in the same version forever because of the modified steam.cfg file, it tricks steam into thinking that this is the latest version of steam and this is our only choice to getting this running on old Operating systems

    Okay just wanted to update everyone here. I tried this fix and it seemed to work totally okay on my windows 7 PRO. I went to the site followed the steps, I tripped somewhere on the steps though and noticed steam was trying to UPDATe so I cancelled and re-checked my steps. So far it's January 1st, steam loads with no warnings. So basically if you don't want to go windows 10-11 etc just try this fix. I am only using the games I have so I have no idea if you will have problems but so far I'm very happy.

      It's also the fact that windows 7 has no "spyware" and doesn't send your data to Microsoft (as back then in 2009 it was useless to sell your data) and right now selling users personal data is a million dollar move to every social media, company etc.
      Rumours also said that the reason why Google stopped supporting windows 7,8,8.1 is for everyone to upgrade to a new version of Windows to steal their data.

      You have to also add the switch -cef-disable-sandbox to the shortcut to Steam.exe when you have Steam on a drive other than the C: drive. Otherwise, it will just sit and spin and spin and spin forever never fully loading when you launch Steam. I don't think this video mentioned that though. Note: I also found that the Steam Shortcut on the computer desktop lost it's Steam icon afterwards... to reset the icon, right-click Steam shortcut select Properties then Change Icon and direct it to look for icons in the SteamOptimizer executable instead of the Steam executable (I do not know why, but it will take the icon from the SteamOptimizer exe but not from the Steam exe).

    So I have a BSCS degree and am a Microsoft Windows Product Specialist with experience in every version of Windows from Win3.1 up to Windows 10 (not interested in Win 11 thus far, looks sucky to me).... I'm trying to fix Steam on a guy's massive gaming pc that runs Win 7 Ultimate, his Steam client got updated and disabled Win 7 support last month. So so far, the instructions in your video are really difficult to follow but I thought I had the jist of it, but now that I think I did everything his Steam client starts I logged him in with his username and password and then nothing but a black window with the Steam gear rotating on it and it did that all thru the night till I finally killed it earlier today. What am I missing? There was no Network activity going on, but the computer is connected to my internet and it can surf the web just fine... Steam was just sitting there though, "spinning" all night long with no network activity going on and no error message or anything. Ideas? I haven't even tried the Friends patch yet, I presumed I needed to get basic Steam functionality working again 1st before tackling that...

    • @michaelshrader5139
      @michaelshrader5139 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ps. I have my own personal computer with Win 7 Pro and since I hadn't run my Steam client since last November it's still good (I added the cfg file to it to prevent it from updating before I tested it the other day). So I have a fully functioning Steam client here at my disposal on my pc, is there anything I can do to graft it into this other gaming PC I'm trying to fix Steam on? I suggested to the gaming PC owner that I could upgrade his Win 7 to Win 10 and that would get Steam and all his games going again but he didn't like that idea and just wants it working again on his Win 7 Ultimate Edition. It seems like this should be possible, and I think I followed all the steps.... but no joy. It's really starting to piss me off! 😐

    • @michaelshrader5139
      @michaelshrader5139 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    • @michaelshrader5139
      @michaelshrader5139 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Friend's patch was far easier then it appeared... lol! Now though, many of the games already installed show up in Steam but indicate they aren't installed in the Steam client, and those that do say they are ready to Play, don't do anything when I click Play. So something not quite right still... was there something else I needed to do to get the installed games to work in the new (but old) Steam client on this machine? Steam launches and looks fully functional again finally... the games just don't do anything now.

    • @michaelshrader5139
      @michaelshrader5139 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ok so there is a lot more that has to be done to get this all working correctly IF your Steam isn't saved to C:\Program Files apparently. The OSVer.ini has to be updated to reflect WHERE your Steam is actually located at, then it has to be placed in your /Windows folder. That seems to have made a difference. Each installed program has to have it's file integrity validated and each 1 is coming up with a single bad file which has to be "reacquired" by Steam (I'd love to know what file it is, but Steam won't tell me apparently!). And finally, when I save a Game shortcut to the Desktop, it has no game icon.... though the shortcut will run the game, but no game icon on the shortcut. I do not yet understand why that isn't working quite right.

Please only use that pc for gaming, and only connected to your Wi-Fi, there are so many things that could go wrong easily if you do anything else. If you do anything else, I'd use an operating system that still gets security patches, like LMDE, which will basically work on anything, and they still get security patches.

      Good evening, today I found a way on how to actually get steam on windows 8.1 (ran it on a virtual machine and worked fine) I am pretty sure it would work on windows 8 aswell, this new method is different than my method and I think is a better method
      Basically, for this to work is download the latest steam from steam offical website, but wait I thought Steam won't work Windows 8.1? Yeah it doesn't BUT once you finish downloading and open it and installing all the files, it won't open UNLESS you do this: make a new text document and write: BootStrapperInhibitAll=enable
      BootStrapperForceSelfUpdate=disable
      Then save it as: steam.cfg and click "all files" instead of text document and put it on the steam files and there you go!
      I tried this method and will make a video today if you didn't understand what I said, but hopefully, this is clear for you and for the rest of the windows 7,8,8.1 community
