So for a few weeks now my Steam Launcher is doing some weird stuff. Sometimes it works just fine, but sometimes when I have it open for a while and at some point come back to it it's like super slow and unresponsive and when I start a game it works just fine but after a couple of minutes steam just opens some popups either about an update to some gamepad drivers (I don't have any connected) or the "add non-steam game to your library" dialog or just the "steam is shutting down" thing. At any case the main steam window is blurred out (like when steam would actually be shutting down) but it never actually shuts down or restarts or anything. I can click on the icon in the systray and start any game from there which works fine or I can close steam from there and restart it. Most of the times this happens when steam is open in the background for a while (like 30 minutes+) but I also had it happen when I just started steam and launched a game.

I'm on Arch Linux (btw). I tried removing steam and reinstalling it but it didn't really do anything (all the logins and everything was still saved so I guess I need to remove everything from it to get a clean install?).

Has anyone experienced similar? Or does anyone know where steam keeps all it's files (logins, caches, ...) so I can try to remove everything and get a clean install?

I use my PC for a lot more than gaming (mostly dev work) and I love my overall setup and although I have all my dotfiles saved in a git repo I'd rather not reinstall my whole system just because steam does weird stuff because the rest of my system is kept pretty clean and works just fine.

Hi,

I do have this problem with some games, most importantly with oblivion remastered, is that on wayland the fps is for some reason locked at 35fps and I cannot change the resolution. It only shows my monitors resolution, even changing to bordereless or windowd doesn't help as it stays fullscreen with the same locked fps.

X11 works just fine, but I want to stream games through sunshine omw to work, but on x11 for some reason, the nvFBC capture method cannot detach after game launch so when I pause the stream to switch trains for e.g., it doesn't give me video and then times out lol, other capture methods tank performance. wayland works fine in this case, but it seems like a sunshine bug that can't do much about.

In oblivion remastered case, I use a wine-tkg, based on the latest wine staging, compiled myself through lutris. interestingly, it used to give me all the options and fps when I switched to proton-ge 10.3, but even that is broken now locked up at 24fps and no resolution option

Other games through proton and wine-proton builds seem to work fine, but all system wine and wine-tkg and some other wine options trhough lutris seem to give me the issues.

Tried using gamescop, but either gamescope through lutris options is broken and doesn't launch the game, or even if lutris is launched through gamescope, I still get no resolution options.

System: legion 7 16ACHg6

R7 5700H 3060 mobile 32gb ram 2560x1600 165fps 👍🏻

Thanks in advance.
