Friends is back in the shape of the v3.0 public beta.

To have a go of it, you need to set Steam not to run automatically but
instead from a shortcut. Edit the shortcut properties and in the 'Target' box, add this line after the steam.exe bit:

Code: Select all

-clientbeta steam3friends -beta steam3friends 

Your 'Target' but should then look something like this:

Code: Select all

C:\Games\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe -clientbeta steam3friends -beta steam3friends 
Run Steam and it'll update to enable the new friends system.

To add me to you friends list it's alan.rehab@ntlworld.com

Yup, added you as well. My steam account is robbwilson at btinternet.com if you want to add me...

Oh the joys of being lumbered with an out-of-date email address as your steam id - cheers Valve :?

Don't forget...

If you're having trouble with this, make sure that all quote marks are still there

My target box in the shortcut looks like this:
"C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe" -clientbeta steam3friends -beta steam3friends
