FixedSteamFriendsUI

Patch-and-patcher project which makes modern Steam friends/chat work again in Steam clients abandoned by Valve.
If you use the May/June/July/August 2023 Steam clients (or earlier) in vgui mode, this patch is for you.

Brief

The Steam client's modern friends/chat feature is remotely controlled by Valve. On September 21st, 2023, Valve exercised this power to break modern Steam friends/chat for all vgui-capable Steam clients.

This project restores modern Steam friends/chat to working order for those affected Steam clients, by redirecting the Steam client to run a patched version of friends/chat instead of Valve's broken version.
