I have purchased two items from the Steam point store, and my Steam completely froze. It was a mini-profile background and an avatar frame. I had to Ctrl+\ in Steams terminal window to get it to close.

I then bought an animated sticker and it didn’t crash. maybe it was a fluke?

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Buy avatar or mini-profile background from the points store

Im going to say this was just a fluke of some sort. I'll reopen if it happens again.
