Same issue here. It sometimes starts somehow, not sure how. But most of the time I have this errors and it's not working.
Hello @logan001, in general, there should only be one issue tracked per issue report.
Setting that aside
1) What changed here between the working and quirk state?
2) Steam is now calling xdg-desktop-portal. Though this, it is calling the file picker interface of your choice and there shouldn't be any Valve imposed restrictions on where it can navigate to. This isn't a Steam client issue.
3) This should be pondered separately, with details on the specific game and steps to reproduce the issue.
Problem seams to be related to portal as after removing xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
portal package steam started to work again.
guess its related to: #9588
well @kisak-valve yes you are right but all these problems started with the same release. i guess that 3 bugs in 1 report is hard to track.
nothing change. i just keep trying to start it until it starts (for like 5 minutes keep trying). i just kept double click on the icon for that long
now looking at your answer for 2 and @pbogut answer and compare to previous version of steam where everything use to work it seems that steam is not working correctly with that portal thing since previously i had the same DEs (kde and cinnamon) and i guess same picker interface (i didn't change anything either before or after reinstalling arch)
for now i only have 2 games one is Guild Wars 2 and the other is Tomb Raider (2013) in the library. and both have the same steam icon when i added them on desktop

portal package steam started to work again.
Had the same issue, uninstalled that package and steam works again. Also on Arch with XFCE as my DE
removing xdg-desktop-portal-gnome solves 1 and 2
Also had the same issue on endeavourOS with bspwm as my DE.
Uninstalling xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
also worked.
i think the problem is not [just] steam. i notice that also firefox had a very delayed start before removing xdg-desktop-portal-gnome. after ff starts normally.
i do not have xdg-desktop-portal-gnome yet im still having this issue. KDE arch linux.
temporary fix i have found is to launch the legacy GUI with steam -vgui

I was able to run steam using this command however the friends list is broken. It keeps saying it can't connect.
Check out #9634 This might be a nvidia driver issue
Also running Arch and after downgrading to 530.41.03-1
everything started working again
@Wesselinator no nvidia here. i have only APU on this laptop. unless that file is removed steam will launch very rare. i have no issues since then with launching steam. only the shortcuts from old library folder has issues with icons
I downgraded xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
to 43 to solve it. I got that version from here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285590.
Same issue started happening recently. Uninstalling xdg-desktop-portal-gnome worked.
@Wesselinator no nvidia for me either, I have a Radeon RX 6750 XT
strage. after a simple update i can't start steam again. here are the packages that were updated

@kisak-valve Thanks
On archlinux and Manjaro:
steam-native-runtime
package and steam-native
cmd works for me
Nothing works for me, Manjaro KDE Plasma up to date
it stops after
RegisterForAppOverview 1: 6ms
RegisterForAppOverview 2: 6ms
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
is not installed
reinstalling Steam
and all xdg-desktop portal packages
doesn´t work
lib32-libnm installed
.steam renamed for new one
i only can start with `steam --reset
;
but if i chance the language and want to start again it failed again
@hanny00 did you downgrade that lib32-libgudev too? i have to uninstall xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and downgrade lib32-libgudev too. i was lucky to have lib32-libgudev-237-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst in cache folder.
@logan001 i have this package not in my cache, but i will try to find on another pc
I found the links to the packages sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libgudev/libgudev-237-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/lib32-libgudev/lib32-libgudev-237-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst steam --reset
uninstalling lib32-libgudev as some other post mentioned, has no effect. only steam -reset starts one time or steam -vgui
Hello @hanny00,
i only can start with ``steam --reset`;
Check if the discussion on #9692 is relevant to your system.
@kisak-valve seems to be that is relevant to my problem, thank you.
sin duda alguna empezo a ir muy bien eliminando xdg-desktop-portal-gnome en arch con kernel 6.4.4-zen1-1-zen
Archlinux fresh install (i thought that i mess up my previous instalation with some libs and i've reinstall it)
bug1: Steam can't start. i can manage to start it after a few (10+) tries this is how it looks from terminal (KDE Wayland)
bug 2:When i manage to start steam i wanted to add a library folder to steam but here is another bug. there is no way to browse outside of "steam" folder. the workaround was to manually edit that vdf (i think) file.
bug 3: when i've tried to add the icon of game to desktop the icon of the game is the steam icon. (now i'm trying to start steam again to see if it happens again for other games too). the game is from the library folder i manually added
edit: i manage to start steam after god know how many tries: Steam Version: 1686880776
