A quick follow-up to today's update, focused on a smoother home screen and faster browsing.
Improvements
- Community browsing is much faster - Explore rows, search, and the gallery now load almost instantly.
- Deleting the wallpaper you are playing now hands playback to your newest remaining wallpaper instead of leaving the screen empty.
- With an empty library, the home screen now shows a proper starting screen instead of a blank area.
- The billboard's info now reads as one credit line (Now Playing, type, creator, counts) instead of a row of button-like chips, and counts of zero are hidden.
Fixes
- Fixed extremely slow loading and downloads for players in Russia - the app now connects over a route that is no longer throttled there.
- Switching wallpapers on the home billboard no longer flashes gray - changes now read as a smooth cross-cut.
- The still-image badge on cards was nearly invisible; it now sits on a clear glass chip.
- Deleting a wallpaper that just finished playing could silently fail while the player still held the file (Windows) - it is now retried and, if needed, cleaned up on the next launch.
- The app icon now displays correctly in the Steam client and community.
- Various stability and reliability improvements.
