Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

For the last 3-4 days, the What's New section in my Steam Library has vanished. There's no dedicated setting for it and I haven't gone and tweaked anything to remove it. I am thoroughly confused. There's hundreds I'm following and plenty constantly have news, it's just not there.

Here's a full startup log, don't know if it helps: https://gist.github.com/LiamDawe/31fb3fbdd590aeda71ba8f8476075e16
System info too: https://gist.github.com/LiamDawe/5d68074e189b39056a29d90114e03666

Hello @LiamDawe, can you check if opting out of the beta client, then back in brings it back?

Hi, no difference, it's just not there.

I had this problem and found a solution here https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/0/2793874853442543964/

SOLUTION:
Steam -> Settings
Web Browser (left side)
Delete Web Browser Cache
Delete all Browser Cache
Restart

I am on Windows 10 so not Linux specific

@rufusw That worked like a charm on Linux, thanks!

@kisak-valve Is there a way to force steam to use the DNS servers from the host or to manually assign them somewhere else?
