Avatar frames stopped animating on pc (both browser and client)
So, this issue has been happening since yesterday, and i coudln't find any solutions nor anyone with the same problem recently...


the animated avatar frames are simply frozen for anyone's profile i visit on both browser and client. Is there any known fixes for this issue?

It is related to the Operating System (for me Win 11) settings!

Go Windows Settings -> Accessibility -> Visual effects -> Animation effects: On
---> this should make avatar frames animated again!

already disabled, tried enabling and disabling it and they're still frozen
Same problem here!
Mouseovers and miniprofile popup frames are still animated but main big profile page avatar frame animation has stopped suddenly!

I tried fresh Steam install, cleared cache and changed web settings but nothing worked!

exactly, hovering over the pfp and mini profiles are still animated, just not the full profile itself


at this point, it might be a steam problem

This solved my problem, tysm!


for anyone that couldn't find this setting in Windows 10: Press Win+U and the settings window will open up, scroll down until you find an option called "Show animations in Windows", turn it on and it should work like a charm.
