It does NOT concern those who want the Malware. What this guide is for is to enable an option to OPT OUT of Big Picture Malware FOR THOSE WHO DON'T WANT BIG PICTURE MALWARE ON THEIR MACHINE in the first place. I am NOT pushing for complete eradication of BPM from ALL machines. Let alone all the bugs which make Big Picture Malware the default chat overlay for some games. Regardless of your options, pressing the guide button while steam is the acitve window will activate the Malware. Regardless of your options, BPM will be installed on your machine. BPM is also the default chat overlay in some games, meaning that 'disable BPM' function within Steam is more or less useless.ĭISCLAIMER 3: The 'you don't like it, don't use it' argument is about as obnoxious and ignorant as it can be. Mine is that it's performance heavy and that even if Big Picture is set to 'disabled' in Valve preferences, pushing the controller 'home' button will still activate it. The only reason this guide exists is because Valve has forced my hand and has continuously ignored requests from the community to opt out from Big Picture completely.Įach user has their own reasons to disable big picture.

It's a work around which is to be implemented fo so long as Valve refuses to let us opt out of the Big Picture Malware.

It will hereby be referred to as Malware until it is patched to prevent it's invasiveness and disruption of my entertainement.ĭISCLAIMER 2: This guide is NOT an official way of deleting BPM from your machine. It also constantly forces itself onto my machine without authorization as well. In this instance, Big Picture disrupts normal gameplay and normal UI without my authorization. 'software which is specifically designed to disrupt, damage, or gain authorized access to a computer system.' DISCLAIMER 1: The whole reason that I classify Big Picture as MALWARE is because there's NO WAY TO GET AROUND IT WHILE THERE SHOULD BE.
