Steam Overrides the Windows Task Manager ? ?

from Sins Forums

When I shut down Sins Rebellion - Steam began a push screen to advertise their other games.

The screen became extremely unstable - not allowing the mouse to move correctly and not even allowing a close out X.

When I tied to open the Windows Task Manager to close out the push program it only showed for 1 second and Steam wouldn't allow any way to stop the program = so I pulled the plug!

Steam is very poorly written and unstable as well as intrusive ! ! !

 

Please create an Stand alone Sins Rebellion DVD for single players with bad internet providers that are also unstable.

The pop up ad is quite annoying.  Good that I usually set the Steam client to offline mode and only go online to update the games.

You can disable that pop up from coming up. I have personally.

Lavo, why don't you tell us how to disable it?

I find the ads annoying too.

Seems like it's Steam->Settings->Interface->Notify me about additions or changes to my games, ...

Steam -> Settings -> Interface -> Uncheck "Notify me about additions or change... etc etc.."

Steam did it again?

They uploaded a revised Steam program.

Had to uncheck - Steam -> Settings -> Interface -> Uncheck "Notify me about additions or change... etc etc.."

 

 

This is really BAD PROGRAMMING -- When you have to power off to get out of Steam ! !
