Problem description

Games are not preventing sleep causing my computer to go to sleep when watching cutscenes or walking away

Does this issue reproduce with native Steam

Have not tested

I assume this is about some D-Bus access that is being blocked. Steam doesn't use expected portal directly.

If it helps gamemode stops sleep iirc. This issue used to happen with the native package as well if you were using a controller as it didn't register the controller as activity. I don't know if this is still the case as I rarely play with a controller.

If you can install gamemode and use gamemoderun %command% as a launch option it should keep the screen awake if I am correct about gamemode preventing sleep by default

Oh thanks for the workaround! But @nanonyme if this is truly a issue with native Steam as well then feel free to close the issue.

idk for sure if it still is happening in native.. Like I said I rarely use a controller and now use the flatpak as well so I can't test native. I would assume that it still is an issue tho if I had to guess

I get you, I might check and make an upstream issue then because games should not require activity to stay awake. They should be treated like videos where just by being focused or just open should be preventing sleep (in my opinion)
