Steam

Does anyone else notice how Steam doesn't update games automatically? You need to wait until you launch the game to update it. It also doesn't tell us when games need to be updated. Too often, I'm about to play with friends then find out I need to update the game.

What's also weird about a lot of these updates is that they don't even seem necessary. For example, Skyrim would run a 1GB+ update every time after I launched it, even though the game launched properly and I could play it just fine. This was every. Time.

There are some mad inefficiencies with how Steam handles updating games on Linux. I'm making this post hopefully to bring awareness to the issue and let others know who may be suffering from it that they are not alone.

As much benefit as Valve has provided for gaming on Linux, there's no denying that Steam is an albatross around the neck of the free software ecosystem.

I am not the developer of this extension

This extension will have an overview of missable achievements, HLTB, and other info for those that achievement hunt would find helpful.

Edit: before buying

Since a few days (maybe weeks, i just don't used it) my remote play from my steam deck to my linux machine (inhouse) isn't working anymore. l just get a loading screen, the sound from my host is playing but the screen stays black or the loading screen is loading to all eternity. Does someone also have this kind of problem?If someone fixed this kind of problem please let me know. Thanks for your help :)

Here is a problem i never had on linux but i started getting on windows.

Some games say they are unable to sync (seemingly random), when i start a game the save does seem to have downloaded, but i cant sync it as it is right now, even doing so manually keeps throwing the same error

Noticed this update got pushed just now.

Edit: Seems they’re doing this to prevent costs from arbitration.

Creators of risk of rain

Having a unique issue where steam is not logging in for me. Its stuck on the logging pop up and stays like that. Is anybody else having this issue? I'm on Ubuntu, it was just working about 10 hours ago. I made and reverted a change thinking that's what caused it but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I had to run steam through terminal using the command: steam -tcp and got it to work.
