Actually, the only reason I had steam on my system was literally to buy the Seeds client when it was on sale for $6 or so a good while back. As soon as I had my working backup separated from steam entirely I deleted steam. I suppose it is possible that the short time I had steam on system it might have.
Just for giggles, think im going to give UF a shot. Just to see how bad things can get
I would still like to sort out this odd issue however.
