Hey, you need to have the steam client running while running this script.

Animal-Machine commented 1 year ago

Hey! My Steam client is running... flatpak version, maybe it has something to do with it?

michael-n0813 commented 1 year ago

Um, yeah the client is running in an encapsulated environment with separate localization. Meaning calling the API from outside this environment will check outside the encapsulated space and not be able to see steam running, that is kinda the point of flatpaks to create separate environments to the main system. Is there some way to run the script from within the flatpak environment? I'm sorry but I don't know much about running flatpaks, maybe have a look at Flatseal that may work for you?

Installing the .deb version will be easier
