Dirk OP , 10 months ago in Flatpak Steam crashes on startup

Hey @DeeBeeDouble remember the Steam issue you helped me with some time ago? I just felt I’ll let you know 🙂

Here’s fun little update on this …

No relevant software was changed, but with the latest system update the Steam Flatpak runs all the udpates as it did before, but now this is logged (all the update and initial installation/setup stuff was done at this point):

During this log output this message pops up at some point:

https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/74b62a22-3a2f-442a-8fe3-046bbe9612f3.png

But no matter what I select except Restart steamwebhelper the Flatpak quits and nothing more happens. When Restart steamwebhelper is selected sometimes the steam UI shows up but I cannot select anything from any dropdowns and cannot change most of the settings sliders. But most of the time this is logged and nothing happens:

So we’re a bit further with this now. I now get an error message most of the time and occasionally can see the steam UI with partial access 🤣

So, who knows … maybe 2-3 more months and I can use Steam again like before …

I can only hope this continues

NOOBMASTER , 10 months ago in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered

Don’t buy this shit!

hal_5700X OP , 10 months ago

Why?

NOOBMASTER , 10 months ago

Original is still good enough to play.

Panties , 10 months ago in How big is your guys' wishlists?

Somewhere between 60-100, and it’s only this small because my main gaming platforms are PS4 and Nintendo switch.

fckreddit , 10 months ago in Which upcomming indie game you have high hopes for ?

Mineko’s Night Market.

MrGerrit , 11 months ago in recover account-name

If you haven’t tried yet: paste your steamid on here steamdb.info/calculator/

Maybe it shows your account name.

Edit:

Also: if you by any chance redeemed a game by using a old cdkey and you still have it you could try the account recovering system.

I got my hacked account back this way.

harald_im_netz OP , 11 months ago

MVP for reacting on this old thread.

I tried the calculator to no appeal. Sadly, as I’ve moved eight times (no exaggeration) since I’ve last used the account, I’ve thrown out all cds :-(

MrGerrit , 11 months ago

Damn, it’s going to be tough.

Have you tried www.steamidfinder.com ? I don’t think it would give more information than the calculator, but you can try.

What if you try adding the saving as a new friend? Maybe it will give some more information?

Not doing it

CaptainBasculin , 11 months ago in New Steam Link update with 4K and Sensor Fusion Backbone support

I do use it with my phobe, however I never had the need to use it via 4K.

fschaupp , 11 months ago in How do you organize your Steam library?

I put it in respective collections:

• ToDo
• Completed
• Gold & Completed
• Sim
• Casual
• Local Multiplayer …

TableCoffee , 11 months ago in How do you organize your Steam library?

I organize by game release year. Not when it was released on steam or even PC but whenever that game was initially released on any platform. From 1997 to 2023.

Celediel , 11 months ago in How do you organize your Steam library?

I’ve got about two dozen collections dedicated to various single store tags, or combinations of tags, most of them genres, but a few like “multiplayer” “co-op”, etc.

I’ve never grouped them based on my opinion of them, but I do like that idea, and may start doing it now.

Oha , 11 months ago in Alternative to -vgui argument to make steam run in old mode?

Its still in early alpha but you could try OpenSteam
github.com/Rosentti/opensteamclient

Kolanaki , 11 months ago in How do you organize your Steam library?

For the most part, I don’t. I do have two custom filters tho. One for classic FPS (IE “boomer shooters”) and one for Fromsoft games.

ElBarto , 11 months ago in How do you organize your Steam library?

I sort by the 2 games I play and the a section for all the games I brought, never played or downloaded.
