Adding -silent to the launch options finally resolved the issue (I assumed that it starts Steam in "offline" mode, but actually the program doesn't launch on foreground).

Do you get the standard chat window every time you launch Steam? I've now added -nochatui and -nofriendsui parameters to the shortcut and the window still always reappears.

| Jul 27, 2018 at 23:46 | comment | added | l3l_aze | Really hate SE on mobile; can't edit now: Have most of the data mapped out in the project linked above, but it needs to be updated & I'm ignoring non-config data. I am working on updating and have not yet found any variable that controls whether the new Friends list is opened on startup though. The old Friends list does still behave properly, and is still accessible by launching Steam with the -nofriendsui option, but old chat is not completely functional (voice was gutted for the new voice chat, some other parts are likely broken). | |
