Re: Steam is still a pain in the arse!
@Jack, one of the problems I have with the client, is I see absolutely nothing in the steam window whether I use screen review or ocr.
I always see Darkthetenor (my steam username), at the top, a couple of random numbers, then the names of games, under that are some bits of text as though things are being cut off, though these persist no matter what the window is doing.
sometimes I see things that look like achievements such as "novice racer" (when I just tried your instructions I saw something called the mother), however I see no headings for things like achievements, games etc, and as I said clicking on game names this way can be pretty bloody random in terms of what it activates.
I've tried left and right mouse clicks, I've tried going into the window through the taskbar, I've tried routing NVdA to mouse, but this always happens.
I thought at first I was not activating things at all, then I used my vision and though I can't see what the hell is going on, the window apparently does change when I try to click stuff.
I am using NvdA 19.2 and the latest version of Windows ten, and my screen resolution is normal, so god knows what the hell is going on.
Btw, I do notice that if I hit alt enter on the steam window, a fullscreen window opens with something like a graphical game menu which makes noises when I click around.
This would theoretically be more usable for me since I can see the menu highlighting and click sounds to navigate, however I have no idea what this menu shows, since where as I said on the default window that comes up with the desktop shortcut (presumably the textual version of the client I got by using the note write command), NvdA can at least read the main heading and game names, on the graphical menu screen review does nothing, and OCr just reads steam and what I presume is the version number.
I wouldn't mind the issues too much though if I can install the games. Achievements and store I can use the steam website for, and the chat function is something I don't care about anyway. Similarly, if I can find the actual exe files for the games ih steam/steam aps/common, then creating handy shortcuts is no problem, this is how I've been playing sequence storm.
The issue comes in actually installing the games, as per this topic. I thought I'd got the process working after installing Sequence storm, but given all the merry hell I've had with a blind legend, I'm not sure, and I confess that at the moment unless Steam was the only way of playing a given game, it would be my absolute last choice as a platform, not the leasst because frankly I would rather not support Valve at this point and still hope they get painful bowel diseases, or at least fix their bloody accessibility .
