Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): No idea, Steam doesn't launch, and I don't care what version is. Steam forced the new bugdate today.
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): ArchLinux
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install new bugdate (15/06/2023)
  2. Enjoy Steam window saying "Esperando a la red" (waiting for network).

You broke Steam again, now I even can't to connect to my account and play some any game. WTF??? Stop forcing bugdates on users. Test your bugs and bugdates yourselves. I am not meant to test your bugs. Here is no button for "revert" the bugdate, and back to previous state. So, wtf should I do now? At least make me possible to play some game without launching that crap (Steam).

I have the issue.
I'm currently using Ubuntu, opening Steam via the app menu shortcut I get the same result as you.

I went into the Steam installation folder and executed data/Steam/steam.sh from the terminal directly. For some reasons unknown to me this seems to properly open the Steam library.

Can't play anything tho.

Thanks, but no. Launching "steam.sh" has same result for me. Looks like they only care about Windoze users.

Try using steam -vgui to force load the legacy GUI.

steam -vgui

Thanks! Works fine but it doesn't connect to friends list. CSGO works fine, even official servers.

Looks like the friends list expects a signal from the new UI:

[2023-06-15 20:36:25] data:text/html,<body><%2Fbody>-'Steam Frie': ERROR: https://community.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/public/javascript/webui/friends.js?v=[REDACTED]&l=english&_cdn=cloudflare:14: Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: SteamClient is not defined

Try the following:

  1. steam -vgui to load legacy GUI
  2. Select the small games list view from the menu (or invoke steam steam://open/minigameslist)
  3. Quit Steam to save this state
  4. Load the new Steam UI with steam with no launch parameters
  5. New Steam UI should load in minigameslist view and friends list/games list works.
  6. Do not try to open large view (library/store), as it will fail

this also fixes the problem for me. BTW, I only have the problem when running with DRI_PRIME=1 which will use the AMD GPU, the problem never appears with the default Intel GPU.

furtherore, the legacy GUI has nice scaling with my HIDPI display - the new GUI is barely readable.

KDE wayland, arch linux.
