Jacob got his hands on a gaming PC for the first time when he was about 12 years old. He swiftly realised the local PC repair store had ripped him off with his build and vowed never to let another soul build his rig again. With this vow, Jacob the hardware junkie was born.
The Steam Deck is often rated for its simplicity and ease of use compared to other handhelds, but it's not immune to bugs. Valve's latest bug fix for the device has fixed a particularly pesky"loading throbber" problem., the new client has"fixed a rare case where the UI could get stuck showing a loading throbber at startup while in Offline Mode".
I've had all kinds of loading throbber problems over the years, from Windows hourglasses to seemingly never-ending in-game spinners. When it persists for too long, probably the most annoying loading throbber is, in my opinion and despite it being relatively small and unobtrusive, the little blue Windows circle. Just the fact the little throbber's there irks me.
Valve does say that, prior to the fix, this persistent loading throbber condition was a"rare" one. I'm not sure how many people were previously stuck looking at Valve's throbber upon an offline boot, but"zero" is better than"some" in this case, so we can be grateful that this throbber's been fixed.
