Closed iodream closed 5 months ago

Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam Overlay shows wrong computer time. Local time shown by system(both desktop gui and date in terminal) is 12th september 01:19 while Steam overlay shows 11th september 22:19. As far as i can remember this started happening relatively recently and it used to be correct.

Hello @iodream, what timezone is the system configured to use? Maybe timedatectl in a terminal would have that.

Temporary fix:

sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Kiev

But this bug must be fixed on Steam side

iodream commented 6 months ago

I have not seen this bug for a long time now.

Can confirm, bug has been fixed

Closing per the last couple comments.

This issue is still occurring to me as of 1716584667. It seems the fix is only applicable for the system running systemd (where timedatectl is available).

I am running Steam in a rootless Distrobox container (Podman) where systemd is not available, unless I use an init container. This is the only issue I am facing.

I would like to use the Flatpak version as well, but I find it still riddles with many issues.
