Steam Client Beta Available

[DigiQ8]

A new Steam client beta is now available. To access the Beta, go to File -> Settings, and on the Account tab will be a drop down. Select Steam Client Candidate, and then allow Steam to restart itself.

• Fixed a crash when clicking on very long URLs in friends chat
• Fixed the in-game overlay not showing over some D3D9 games that set a texture as the render target
• Fixed a case where the overlay could go temporarily unresponsive due to using a skin that generated bad geometry
• Fixed some cases of trying to send data to Steam servers while disconnected
• Improvements to Steam startup performance

Whenever I try to boot up a game now it says 'HL2.exe has stopped working', I'm going to switch back to see if it fixes it.
