Your system information

  • Steam client version (October 28 2020):
  • Distribution POP OS
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [No]
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/]

So I had this issue just happen to me last night and this morning. When I put my system to suspend and then resume it a few hours later, my Library freezes and I I'm unable to play a game. Clicking on titles didn't work either. I have to exit steam for it to work again. This gets annoying as every time I quit and relaunch steam I have to rebuild shader cache. Anyone else been getting this too? I think remote play may be involved in it somehow.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Suspend PC
  2. Resume after awhile
  3. Library will not work.

Hello @Redbatman89, what desktop environment and video card are you using? Does it use a compositor? Possibly a duplicate of #3507.

Well I have a GTX 1080 with POP OS 20.04 and whats a compositor?
To be safe I shut down my PC and booted it back up to see if it happens again.

So it didn't happen again till today, only this time a little different since my whole system was laggy. Now I wont usually reboot my computer unless an update or driver happens. So I just logged out and back into my system and that fixed it again. But its odd since POP OS is usually stable.

Nothing extracted yet.
