Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1694466342
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Gentoo
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs:
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 with driver version 535.104.05
  • Xorg Server version: 21.1.8

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Using dwm 6.4 with GPU/drivers above and steam installed via the Steam overlay, games appear to start, but no window appears and no audio can be heard. When started outside of the Steam client, games run as expected (assuming necessary libraries can be loaded).

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install Steam with the distribution's recommended method.
  2. Start an X server with dwm.
  3. Start the Steam client
  4. Attempt to launch a game

Solved. Steam will not open game windows unless loopback traffic is allowed.
