Hi,
I suddenly find my self unable to open the friends list, in the terminal it just says ExecuteSteamURL: "steam://open/friends"

Hello @Turmfalke2, does /tmp/dumps/<username>_stdout.txt have any hints?

Does the store show in the client?

Please retest with Steam's beta client.

_stdout.txt appears to be identical with the terminal output. Since writing this report the friends list has opened at some point. However most friends are missing their names:

friends_list

It appears the client is also running some sort of debug mode:

Going to test with the beta client now.

After restarting with the beta client the friends list works again.

I'm guessing this was a connection issue of sorts.

I also lost connection to the friends list, and the main Steam window also said 'no connection'. Restarting Steam would lead into unable to connect to the Steam service (and did not even get the option to start in offline mode).

It seems to have been resolved for now at least (non-beta client still).

Nothing extracted yet.
