[SOLVED] Steam not loading properly

Since the last steam update yesterday trying to start up steam gets the following output and then nothing appears to happen (even though the steam binary is hammering the cpu at 98% load)

Re: [SOLVED] Steam not loading properly

Are you in the Steam Client Beta? I think there was an issue with the latest update that made clients everywhere stop working.

Use  steam --reset to reset your user settings (this won't delete your installed games, only your Steam client settings), then restart Steam and don't participate in the client beta.

I think you could also delete Steam/appcache/appinfo.vdf while being in the client beta, I don't really know if that worked though as I just resetted my settings. More information: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam- … ssues/2841
