I keep trying to restart Steam, and I keep getting this. Strangely, the first time I tried to record what was happening, it successfully opened on that occasion, but I couldn’t get it to work again. I lowered the resolution to record.

Edit: Since the main image slot doesn’t seem to work, I’ll try to add it bellow:

Edit 2: NVM, it keeps changing it from ![](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsopuli.xyz%2Fapi%2Fv3%2Fimage_proxy%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fi.ibb.co%252FRTjTRgH8%252FSteam-UI-issue.webp) to ![](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsopuli.xyz%2Fapi%2Fv3%2Fimage_proxy%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fi.ibb.co%252FRTjTRgH8%252FSteam-UI-issue.webp)!!!

Edit 3: REALLY?!? Even if I put the link in an inline code block?!?

Update: Strangely, it works consistently when using the desktop shortcut, but consistently fails when using the menu shortcut.

Update 2: I’ve commented the contents of the two .desktop files.

Update 3: Changing the main Exec in the .desktop that doesn’t work to be the same as the one that does didn’t work. Although using one of the “sub-options” from the menu short cut such as “Store” or “Library” seems to work, even though the default launch doesn’t.

          It seems the bad one has Exec=sh -c 'STEAM_FRAME_FORCE_CLOSE=1 steam %U', while the good one has Exec=/usr/bin/steam %U.

          I guess I just sudo edit the bad .desktop file? I’ll see if that works.

          Update: Changing the Exec line to Exec=/usr/bin/steam %U didn’t work.

              That’s from the command that doesn’t work. Simply typing steam into a terminal seems to work fine.

                According to this, that force close directive just minimizes to tray. So is Steam actually running properly just minimizes to tray when the interface disappears?

                  Yes. But then Store, Library, etc. doesn’t do anything.

                  It’s not running properly. A window keeps flickering in and out and I can’t get the interface, unless I launch it in any other way as mentioned.

                    Well if that setting keeps getting changed back in the launcher config, my gut tells me there’s a setting in the steam settings that is putting it there perhaps.
