Launching a game means that the entire Steam Window fades and it will become entirely unusable until the game starts. That is not a separate startup window, thats just an embedded element inside the main one. If you accidentally click outside, the game startup gets canceled.
It is a bit more than mildly frustrating when Im waiting on the Vulkan shaders for BFV for like half an hour to process.

Have you checked “Process vulkan shaders in the background” under settings -> download? That way it does that in the background when you’re not playing

WHAT? THERE WAS AN OPTION TO TURN THIS OF THE ENTIRE TIME AND IT WASN’T ON BY DEFAULT??

Yeah, but I don’t know if it should be turned on by default. Shader processing takes a lot of CPU resources, even on a high-end one I notice some small stutters in general desktop usage while it processes. Lower grade CPUs could be pretty unusable, I think.

Hmm I didnt know about that. I will look that up next time.
