Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date):
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): NixOS
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs: steam-logs.tar.gz
  • GPU: AMD

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When i opened the game, i was forced into another workspace saying that there was a new firmware update available from Sony for my blank. The exact text was as follows: "There is new firmware available from Sony for your ." despite the fact that i have never used any Sony product on steam before. Just today i was given another firmware update from Sony, this time for my "[object Object]".

The expected behavior was that this would not happen at all, due to me having a Logitech mouse, and using the built in laptop peripherals for everything else.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. open steam client through rofi
  2. open any game (i first encountered this in factorio 1.1.100)
  3. play for a little bit. exact time varies.
