Hey guys, I know the point of a Steam community is to get people together around games, but I just cant stand the constant popups on my desktop for events. When I get back to my computer every afternoon, I have to click-close 2 to 3 of the event popups from the community. I have searched through the steam support and apparently there is no fix for this.

I dont play TF2 much so, if there isnt a way to turn this off I think I am going to just leave the community. Does anyone know a way to turn off the pop-ups?

Leave then. I don't care.

why the bitter? That same statement is shouted by 6 year olds all across the country. I was asking for a way to shut of the popups.

Because your making a big deal out of small pop-ups, and then you just plainly say your leaving because of this, no one cares.

I love how you made me say that in the quotes bd

How the fuck did that happen? I must have messed up, honest. This is like the sixth time this happened to me.

The guy's voicing his irritation and asking if there's another way to avoid it. Come on, guys, I expect better from us; no need to give him a lashing for something so menial.

Since the group is public, you could leave and just check by the group every so often. I think you can even jump into the group chat without being a member.

Oh I thought he meant literally leaving and never having anything to do with it again. But still, its just popups and they aren't that annoying.

Do me the courtesy of going back and reading my posts. I KNEW this would happen because I saw it happen on this forum around the same question in the past. I did my best to word things to not get the childish reaction, but I got it anyway. I did leave the group, mainly on account of Nilocy's reply was completely lacking in any sort of coolness which is a requirement for any community I would be in. P.S. alienating people is not a way to build community.

It's still a feature missing from Steam and I am not alone in wanting this feature. The requests go back to 2009 and yet we still cannot turn off popups on the desktop for group events. No matter how much you want to defend the DFC and the popups, the fact remains people want this feature.

Im just mainly wondering why it irritates you so much, its a small popup that tells you when group events happen. Its not like a giant image flashing on your screen every few seconds.

I have heard of issues of several none steam games, that people use the overlay for, crashing because of the popups.

But seriously, the pop up announcements are a good way to get an event across to others in the group that I'm not friends with.

I litterally couldn't care less if you leave the community; but threatening to leave in the first place in your post set the tone for my response. As it does with everyone else who starts complaining that the admins are 'spamming them with popups'. I for one like the popups, the vast majority of people like the popups.

To be honest, they do need a bit of work; that's Valve's responsibility, though.

Sidenote: The teamspeak server now supports up to 512 people with a non-profit license I acquired - not that we'll ever fill that, but still, nice to no longer have a 32 person cap.

Server is currently capped at 50. Chat away!

I've noted the problem, thanks to a PM that sent an email to my phone, however I'm at work and will check back this evening.
