Black screen from steam built in web browser

[lukasjab]

Because ( for some god-forsaken reason ) steam runs the entire library and store page in a web browser, this web browser is only displaying as a black screen whilst everything not using this browser (e.g. steam settings, view setting, friend settings) works fine, however I cannot load any games without the library page loading.

[lukasjab]

exec /usr/home/steamgamer/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-heavy.sh --unpack-dir=/usr/home/steamgamer/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_64 --runtime=steam-runtime-heavy -- ./steamwebhelper -lang=en_US -cachedir=/usr/home/steamgamer/.steam/steam/config/htmlcache -steampid=10575 -buildid=1631572918 -steamid=76561198207687429 -cachedir=/usr/home/steamgamer/.steam/steam/config/htmlcache -steamuniverse=Public -realm=Global -clientui=/usr/home/steamgamer/.steam/steam/clientui --enable-blink-features=ResizeObserver,Worklet,AudioWorklet --enable-media-stream --enable-smooth-scrolling --password-store=basic --log-file=/usr/home/steamgamer/.steam/steam/logs/cef_log.txt --disable-quick-menu --no-sandbox --in-process-gpu ---- this is also displaying to the terminal that runs steam, and it keeps repeating it every 3 seconds or so.

Steam restart doesn't help?

I am getting this with the same output as well and restarting does not seem to fix things.

[bdsm]

Prior to the aforementioned output, I do appear to be getting some libgl errors, however it seems everything works save for the store, library, profile, etc pages which are contained in browser enviroments. That being said, these functions are somewhat vital.

Spoiler: Long output

amdgpu is loaded and seems to be working fine outside of this. what graphics solution are you using @lukasjab? Just for context, I'm on a 5700XT.

I am using an NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB, and I found a solution that worked for me. The solution was uninstalling the binary package from the FreeBSD repos and wiping the the /opt/steam-utils directory, then cloning this github repo and building it from source has fixed the issue

Weird. I never tried the version in the repos or ports and I'm getting this.

I should have all the dependencies as well. Bizarre.

[bdsm]

It seems the versions in the repos and in ports yield the same issues.

[lukasjab]

Have you ensured that you have the freetype2 package installed, because that is also a possible cause of the issue, and if you don't have it installed, wipe /opt/steam-utils again and rebuild when you have freetype2 installed

It seems I've had that installed throughout my testing. I also took a look at #59 as the title seemed to allude to similar behavior, and unlike that user, installing and getting wine-proton set up properly in Steam did not address the issue either.

AMD / Intel GPUs have an additional complication of relying on the CentOS 7 Mesa package (linux-c7-dri-18.3.4_4), which simply might be too old for some of those GPUs. There is no plan to update it at the moment.

Note that if you wanted to play around with Proton integration, you can still do this by running Steam itself with software rendering (LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1) and disabling it for individual games in the launch options.

I am using an NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB, and I found a solution that worked for me.

Why this issue is still open then?

Thinkpad t430s, i5-3320m, integrated gpu, FreeBSD 13

I'm also experiencing issues with the browser. Easy workaround for this is the big-picture mode as it's not using the browser for it's ui - library, shop etc. works as intended (didn't test that much tho).

I dont know, but on ryzen 2200g CSGO work very good, some proton games work very good

[steambsd]

I don’t know what affects commit - i have black screen (after update linux-steam-utils code). I want to note that everything works fine before commit see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoO37SkofAE, but some games do not load. Although I tried it on the second amdgpu machine, the difference is loaded there. Either it depends on the network adapter, or i dont know.

[Updated] All work! You need reinstall steam: update linux-steam-utils code, .i386-wine-pkg and install Proton 6.3 + SLRS. Magic! Note that without Proton6.3 on nvidia we see black screen and game not download, as minimum you need install Proton 6.3 (you may not enable Settings -> Steam Play -> emulators/wine-proton)
