Um, is Steam updating anyone else's whole library - ?

[sandman2575]

Anyone else fire up Steam tonight and see... weirdness taking place?

I guess I'm not alone in experiencing all these unexpected updates:

Sounds like Steam is deleting games' redistributables...and then re-downloading (updated?) ones.

At least I hope that's what it is and someone hasn't completely hacked / hijacked my account    :D :D :D

I had it running for a little bit tonight and it was acting wonky. Screens not loading correctly and such. There were a lot of updates installing too.

[Jarhead0331]

Yes. I am experiencing this too. It is peculiar.

OK good to know we're all in the same boat, and that presumably these updates were intended by Valve... and not someone installing Trojans on my PC   :)

[FarAway Sooner]

Yeah.  The good news is, it's Valve's servers that are getting slammed...

[Tanaka]

Same glad to see I am not crazy :)

I had eleven of my installed Steam games do an update. This could be the reason why:  http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/0/368542585856738122/

Ugh... Steam and their screwy client.  ::)

Because of total lack of moderator and/or Steam cmmunication I decide[d] to create another topic...

QFT.

Thank goodness recently I uninstalled most of my library so only had to update 8 games....just took a few minutes.

[Gusington]

I was not online last night...should I panic?

[sandman2575]

Good God man, of course you should panic!

[JasonPratt]

I wonder if this is related somehow to my Avast tools thinking Ghostbusters, and some other game I can't recall at the moment, had been partially uninstalled?  ???

All my Steam games on The Presence at home got either updated or scheduled for an update last night; not sure they all got updated before I turned it off for bed.

I was dreading my Surface being locked down this morning (as its processors and download speed aren't anything like the supercomputer at home), but whatever happened appears to have been fixed: no mass redownload this morning.

Only issue I've had yesterday and again today is the inability to view my 'wish list'....it will not open.  Not sure about games updating unless it happened overnight and I was unaware of it?
