Steam games fail to launch #276755

Closed r3n3gad3p3arl closed 10 months ago

r3n3gad3p3arl commented 10 months ago

Describe the bug

When the play button is pressed, Steam will briefly act like the game is launching before stopping the process, as if you didn't even try to open a game in the first place. This has happened for every game I tried to launch. This problem has occurred previously, but it was solved by a reboot. I have tried rebooting, updating, and deleting all Steam-related files in my home folder, but nothing has fixed it so far. No errors appear and I can't find any relevant logs, but I've never had to troubleshoot Steam before.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Steam
  2. Attempt to launch a game by pressing the play button

Expected behavior

Steam launches the game after the play button is pressed.

Additional context

Steam is installed via the programs.steam module.

eclairevoyant commented 10 months ago

Did you do any rebuilds between rebooting and starting steam? Or are you starting steam right after logging in?

r3n3gad3p3arl commented 10 months ago

Not exactly sure what you're asking, but I have done several reboots and rebuilds trying to solve this problem. I always reboot after rebuilding also.

ghost commented 10 months ago

Hi! After the update my games also stopped working and if I launch Steam through the terminal, the following error pops up: x86_64-linux-gnu-capsule-capture-libs: warning: Dependencies of libnvidia-pkcs11.so.545.29.06 not found, ignoring: Missing dependencies: Could not find "libcrypto.so.1.1" in LD_LIBRARY_PATH I think it's related to #273064

jonringer commented 10 months ago

are you running intel, amd, or nvidia? is your services.xserver.videoDrivers set appropriately? are you able to play native games (e.g. dota2?)?

r3n3gad3p3arl commented 10 months ago

I think it's related to #273064

Yes, I get that error as well. I've got a full log of launching Steam and trying to open a game here.

are you running intel, amd, or nvidia?

I am on a laptop with Intel and Nvidia graphics.

is your services.xserver.videoDrivers set appropriately?

I have set up PRIME offloading as shown in the NixOS wiki. I have tried to launch both with and without offloading, neither has worked.

are you able to play native games (e.g. dota2?)?

I just tried opening Quaver and AdVenture Capitalist (native Linux games) and they both worked! So it's only Windows games giving me trouble...

shazow commented 10 months ago

Same issue here, on AMD Radeon 7900 XTX, on X11, using the mesa drivers I believe.

Most games I tried don't work, tried: Baldur's Gate 3, RDR2, Cyberpunk, Dota 2, Lethal Company, Noita, Kenshi.

But one game did work: Portal 2.

Edit: Bunch of updates. Also FYI, running through flatpak still works.

r3n3gad3p3arl commented 10 months ago

Okay, I seem to have fixed the issue.

Considering this is happening on Nvidia and AMD graphics, and that the error should be benign, I don't think this has to do with #273064.

When checking @shazow's logs against mine, we both get an error like this: bwrap: Can't find source path /tmp/dbus-bQ7idoGt2b: No such file or directory, indicating an issue with dbus.

I start Hyprland with the command dbus-run-session Hyprland. By omitting the first part and just launching with Hyprland, I am able to run all Steam games with no issue. This may break other applications (for example, the website links in Anime Game Launcher), but nothing major is affected for me.

I have no idea if this is a bug or my poor understanding of dbus, or if this affects full desktop environments like KDE.

Hope this helps others facing this problem!

shazow commented 10 months ago

@r3n3gad3p3arl Good find! I was doing something similar,

- windowManager.command = "dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 i3"; 
+ windowManager.command = "i3";

did the trick for me.

arh78750 commented 10 months ago

Currently having this issue with GDM and Gnome, not sure how I can modify my config in a similar way.

maxhille commented 10 months ago

Probably the same issue here (steam fails to find dbus). It is a regression from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/273068, as in if I apply this patch (removing /tmp - isolation), everything is fine as before.

I fear the the original issue (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9121) would be introduced by this patch again, so for now I will just apply this locally for me.

@tejing1 Maybe you have an idea? Can we give the dbus-session to the isolated /tmp somehow? And for the short term, how can I toggle that boolean in my nixos config?

@tejing1 Maybe you have an idea? Can we give the dbus-session to the isolated /tmp somehow? And for the short term, how can I toggle that boolean in my nixos config?

It's probably doable by a similar mechanism to what we did for XAUTHORITY. Add some bash code to buildFHSEnv to check if the dbus session bus is in /tmp, and if so, bind mount it into the container.

As for the short term, you can set programs.steam.package = pkgs.steam.override { privateTmp = false; }; to disable it, but that will indeed bring back the problem with steam messing up other electron apps.
