Officially, Valve states that the .deb from steampowered.com or the Flatpak are the only supported versions of Steam. The packaged version on rpm-fusion is made by a 3rd party and valve has no control over what dependencies are bundled.
Please retest with the flatpak version of steam and attempt to reproduce. Or install Ubuntu LTS as the Readme on this repo suggests.
I installed steam inside docker using .deb from steampowered.com . But still same issue. No change
The .deb must be installed on the native filesystem and not run in a container
But our requirement is to run steam inside docker container . Outside the container environment , the delay is not seen .
Perhaps visit https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/669A-2F68-D1D1-A5EC to see if Valve's existing troubleshooting documentation can help. Else your best recourse is maybe marking this ticket as a Feature Request for Docker support and see what Valve has to say.
Could you elaborate further on why it's a requirement to run Steam in container, specifically Docker?
We are working on cloud gaming service which is streamed from a docker container.

Hi,
We are running steam from inside a docker container and facing a delay of 8-10 seconds with message "Waiting for network" , on logging into the steam account. The following are the logs from file steamui_login.txt:
[2025-11-06 07:02:05] [ WaitingForCredentials ] SetLoginState: WaitingForNetwork - OK
[2025-11-06 07:02:15] [ WaitingForNetwork ] Timed out waiting for network
[2025-11-06 07:02:15] [ WaitingForNetwork ] Initiating LogOn via state machine transition
[2025-11-06 07:02:15] [ WaitingForNetwork ] SetLoginState: WaitingForServerResponse - OK
[2025-11-06 07:02:17] [ WaitingForServerResponse ] Received logon success response
But when we login into steam account from outside docker container , the delay is not seen. Please help in identifying and resolving the login delay .
Thanks
Srinidhi
