Steam initial setup get stuck on network selection

[PierreBeucher]

Bug

For fresh installation, Steam in Big Picture mode may get stuck on the Network selection page. When selecting the network, it shows a page with yellow text and goes back immediately to the network selection page.

This bug is probably not related to Cloudy Pad but some underlying component (maybe the Steam Docker image or Steam itself) and may appear on previously stable Cloudy Pad releases. We're enquiring the issue.

Workaround

SSH into your Cloudy Pad instance:

ssh ubuntu@<IP>

Open Wolf config as root:

sudo nano /etc/wolf/cfg/config.toml

Update Steam [[app]] config to add/update environment variable:

# Keep existing variables and add
env = [ ... , "STEAM_STARTUP_FLAGS=-steamos3" ]

Alternatively copy file locally for edit and copy it back

scp ubuntu@<IP>:/etc/wolf/cfg/config.toml wolf-config.toml

Restart Wolf:

docker restart wolf

Connect with Moonlight, Steam should start in "classic" mode and you'll be able to connect.

You can then keep Steam this way or update back to Big Picture mode which should connect without issue.
