Not sure if an update fixed it, or if there was a problem with the steam servers.
@kisak-valve Reopened, because the issue is happening again on a different machine.
A patch was posted here that fixes the issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/13493#issuecomment-5285196297
Hello @stefan11111, if the discussion on the other issue report has investigated further, then the discussion should continue there instead of reopening this issue report and fragmenting the discussion across multiple issue reports.
Your system information
tar -zcvf ~/Desktop/steam-logs.tar.gz ~/.steam/steam/logs] https://github.com/stefan11111/steam-logs/blob/main/steam-logs.tar.gzI started steam today after a few weeks. It had an update, which it downloaded and installed.
Then, when it tried to start, it was stuck on a screen where is says "waiting for network".
I looked through the logs, to see if anything was different.
This is before the update:
This is when I first started steam and updated it:
And this is what all the subsequent attempts to start steam look like, when it's stuck
waiting for network:The thing I noticed is that the broken logs are much shorter than the working ones.
Any idea how to fix this?
