Factorio on steam, couldn't initialize steam api

[wilk85]

lately i saw that issue when i’m not focusing any window for example obs studio, keyboard shortucts aren’t working.
So if i start a game and recording is set to ctrl + num7 when i click that in game nothing is happening, but when i focus (click on obs studio window) keyboard shortcuts are working

i was trying to set to a different buttons combination, or for example alt alone, and no response

i have checked that on x11 session, it’s working

any similliar issues?

also since kde6 and wayland i cannot play some games on steam, or steam is not connecting to game services, very strange. Games aren’t connecting on x11 also, so it might be a steam issue

@wilk85

i have checked that on x11 session, it’s working

The global shortcuts feature is a known issue on Wayland.

@wilk85

also since kde6 and wayland i cannot play some games on steam, or steam is not connecting to game services

Can you be a bit more specific? I personally have not experience any issues with launching Steam games.

[wilk85]

I will provide errors when i get into pc

[wilk85]

errors:

factorio

insurgency sandstorm

[mad]

Czesc. Not sure what happened, or how you have installed Steam. I also do not own any of those games to test.
The second might indicate issues with easy anti-cheat.

For me, the combination of Steam Native and Proton-GE works. Try to re-install.
Also, in another thread, there was a suggestion to delete the Steam cache folder (home - .steam), but I do not know how safe that is.

[wilk85]

Cześć:)
Well i havent touched steam installation since i have installed garuda
And im adding proton ge by hand if i need to
Since last patches o havent had any issues with steam, lately something happened

[mad]

You can find some details on the Steam cache cleaning at the end of this post:

Steam won't launch for one user

Ah I see sorry, the issue is that she can’t open steam on her garuda login, at least the old one. She can open it on her new login so her steam profile/account seems to be okay. Unfortunately can’t try changing any settings within steam or trying the beta as she can’t open it to access the settings. I don’t think even changing settings on her new login would change anything on the old as I believe the settings are individual to each steam client as I’m pretty sure I have different settings on d…

I am not aware of any problematic Steam changes. And the issues that came from the recent KDE Plasma 6 changes were not related to Steam, and were concerning mostly for Nvidia users.

@wilk85

And im adding proton ge by hand if i need to

Try the official one from Garuda Gamer, or try any of the official Proton versions from within Steam.

[wilk85]

well nothing seams to work
i have reinstalled steam, steam-native runtime, proton custom ge
removed
rm -rf usr/share/steam
rm -rf .steam/*

reinstalled factorio game
cleaned up steam memory cache under, options > download

still same issue

[mad]

I am sorry to say I am out of ideas.
Factorio has a Platinum rating on ProtonDB, so it should work just fine:
https://www.protondb.com/app/427520?device=pc

Unless someone else has a different idea, a clean reinstall with the new Garuda ISO might be the last option. I think it is still being tested and come out soon.

You have also two topics in this thread (against the forum rules), this is not about a strange keyboard behavior only.

@mad

You have also two topics in this thread (against the forum rules), this is not about a strange keyboard behavior only.

Can you please post the link?
I can’t find it right now.

[wilk85]

It was working perfectly untill some patches few days ago
Not game is starting but stran service cannot connect to factorio, or factorio cannot connect to steam api, no idea how to resolve this, on factorio forums no help also

[wilk85]

It is in the same topic sgs, i have started two threads here

[nepti]

He means: two issues in this topic.

[mad]

If you check the original post, you will see two issues being raised:
1: Global shortcuts not working properly
2: Steam having issues starting games after the KDE Plasma 6 update

[wilk85]

But anyway i do not think steam issue is related with garuda system

[mad]

I have not seen issues like yours on AMD hardware here. I hope you will be able to make sense of the errors and fix them eventually.

[wilk85]

Hey i have finally fixed the error with factorio game on steam

so previously before some system updates i was running steam in compatibillity none
and it was running fine, after some recent patches it has changed and broken steam api connection

now i have set

and it’s working fine

[mad]

Awesome. I run a general compatibility with Proton-GE, I have never needed to force specific games, so good to know. Please mark your post as the Solution, thanks.

[wilk85]

factorio has a linux support, i’m always setting different for different games
