Games automatically launching?

I'm noticing as of a few days ago, sometimes when I click on a game in my library, it automatically launches it without clicking play. It's like it's sometimes reading a single-click as a double-click. Is anyone else having this issue?

Not an issue on my end. Have you checked your mouse?

Not a mouse issue. Or at least I'm not seeing anything anywhere else that would suggest double-inputs.

Try the following if you do not have it already turned off.

Steam > Settings > Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views.

Note: I am always on the beta client.

I've had exactly the same with one game Suhbsistence mouse was too sensative bought a new Logitek mouse problem solved. Reduce your mouse click sensativity. In Control Panel Mouse. They get old and become wonkey.
It has nothing to do with GPU accelerated renderring in web browser.

You have to eliminate every possibility.

For example it could be a slightly depressed key on the keyboard, an attached controller issue etc.

I wasn't able to find the GPU acceleration option, but I got annoyed and just restarted my computer and now it's not happening, so I don't know.

My error it should have being:

Steam > Settings > Interface > Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views.

Good to hear a reboot solved the problem. It is the one thing we all forget to do.

If it starts happening again, I'll take a look. Thanks.

Thats the first thing you should always do, whenever you got a problem on a pc.
