Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1690583737
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Garuda
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Soup (ask a stupid question get a stupid answer)
  • Steam Logs: [generate by running this command in a terminal [steam-logs.tar.gz](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/files/12326716/steam-logs.tar.gz)]
  • GPU: Nvidia

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

If you disable cloud sync is actually disables it. More so the client should have the logic to know if offline do not cloud sync if cloud sync is enabled.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start Steam, disable cloud sync
  2. Start Steam the next day, launch a game while offline and see nag about how Steam could not sync your cloud files.
  3. Disable Cloud Sync
  4. Launch Steam another day while offline, Steam again nags about being unable to sync cloud files.

Aside from the obnoxious nags this is just stupid. The client is OFFLINE, even if I had Cloud Sync enabled it SHOULD NOT be doing it PERIOD.

**I've also noted that when this happens Steam forgets its position. When Steam launches and centers itself rather than placing itself at the position you last had it the Cloud Sync will also be re-enabled. Seems almost like a coin toss if Steam will launch and remember settings vs resetting a few select things like XY and Cloud Sync. (I think it also reset a few Library options but Steam launched correctly today so I can't check/confirm).

***I have seen this behavior on friends Steam accounts who also disable Cloud Sync.

I've noticed Steam is "forgetting" window size/position, Cloud settings and now it's forgetting the Start Up Location constantly defaulting to the Store despite having no internet connection.

Sure would be nice if this was fixed before 2024.

Is this ever going to be addressed?!

The fact this hasn't been touched makes me think this is going to be like a few of my other tickets. They ignore it because the road map plans to phase it out and they will just remove the option to switch it on or off moving towards a forced "always online" style system. I suspect the best we might get is the nags are less intrusive when there is no connection.

Months pass, still obnoxious, nothing done...

Will it be fixed before 2025? 2026? 2027?! Press X to doubt.
