kcznsk Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Does anyone still have not updated steam? Since valve put this banner in the client, they might have put a killswitch as well like what adobe did in flash. If anyone has not updated it yet, please backup your steam installation and upload it somewhere because it might be very valuable later. Sadly mine was updated automatically and I probably can't revert it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adobe Flash Player’s time bomb was detected early by setting system date and time beyond doomsday on a virtual machine. Someone might want to try that with the nagware version of Steam. https://msfn.org/board/topic/182654-adobe-flash-shockwave-and-oracle-java-on-xp-part-2/?do=findComment&comment=1184906 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 At the time I had posted before, I was beyond "build from last week" as my Steam had updated on Wednesday night. It updated again on Friday and then the red message appeared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steam won't let me sign in to my account, if i set my date and time beyond my current date and time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyfan Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) so if we just use the last update before the EOL message appeared it should work forever right? Edited May 2, 2023 by legacyfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 It won't work forever. It will only work until Steam changes something on their backend that uses a web tech that isn't supported in whatever their internal browser uses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
