Your system information

HOST:

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Steam 1.0.0.74, built 10th of December 2021
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

CLIENT:

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Steam Link 1.1.92.230, built 22nd July 2022
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam Link has stopped being able to connect to my remote computer running Steam. This exact setup has worked for the past few months without a hitch, the only thing I can think of that's changed is updating the Steam Link version on the client (but downgrading the version to 1.1.89 does not fix the issue).

The host still works fine for every other Steam Link client (two android phones, one Ubuntu laptop), it just fails on this specific computer running Arch, so I suspect some sort of client-side issue.

Pairing works, but upon trying to connext to the host, the client asks that I enter a PIN on the host (even though they're already paired!). Entering the PIN does nothing, except the prompt to enter the PIN reappears a second later on the host. The client appears to be spamming the host with requests, because whether I enter the code on the host or hit "Cancel", the pop-up asking me to authorize the device keeps appearing.

Here's the Steam Link logs on the client when attempting to connect: https://gist.github.com/atomheartother/07ed5e167202f07e994000e223ae0113

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install Steam on a host computer running Arch
  2. Install Steam Link on a client computer running Arch
  3. Pair them, the pairing process works, both computers have each other's names displayed correctly on their interfaces
  4. Try to connect from client to host, the host keeps requesting PINs, entering them won't do anything, you're now stuck entering PINs.
