  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1726604483 (Stable) / 1729208001 (Beta)
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): SteamOS 3.5.19 / 3.6.19 / 3.7.0 (Deck) and Manjaro w/ Gnome 46 (Desktop)

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When the primary storage device is nearing capacity (<= 2GB of free space), Steam notifies the user via a Low Disk Space toast. Instead of expanding from the bottom-right side of the screen, the toast can be seen floating near the bottom.

Low Disk Space :x: Low Battery :white_check_mark: (Example)
Low_Disk_Space Low_Battery

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Deck:

  1. Open the SteamOS Devkit Client (see https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/loadgames to setup Devkit Management Tool).
  2. Select the target device and chose Remote Shell
  3. Run the following command: fallocate -l 500G temp; rm temp

Desktop:

  1. Launch Steam as a deck-like session via the following terminal command: gamescope -- steam -gamepadui -steamdeck.
  2. In a terminal window, run the following command: fallocate -l 500G temp; rm temp

Note: Adjust the size parameter of fallocate based on your device's storage capacity.

Reproduction Rate: 5/5

Affected Platforms

  • LCD: Yes
  • OLED: Yes
  • Desktop Deck-like session (gamescope -e -- steam -gamepadui -steamdeck): Yes
  • Desktop: No. Issue is not present on either the default Steam client or Big Picture Mode.

Actual result

  • Low Disk Space toast appears floating near the bottom of the screen.

Expected result

  • Low Disk Space toast appears as if sliding in from the right-hand side of the screen to resemble more closely other system notification.

Notes

  • This issue is not present on the similar Battery Low system notifications.
  • The notification can also be re-triggered when rebooting the device.
  • If the notification does not appear immediately, navigating to Steam > Settings > Storage will make it pop-up.
