Tried to play with Steam again, but no game works anymore. Here is the example of Half Life 2 Death Match, which always used to work:

Code:

I only see errors related to recording.

So what does that mean? The thing is that the game won't start. When I press the green "Play" button, something seems to happen, it changes to the pause symbol (II) for a second and then it goes back to the play symbol (white triangle) again.

Hi Cabriofahere,

There was a fix for this committed a few weeks ago. It might be included in the linux-steam-utils port now.

Unbreak Steam after the Nov 12 update. · shkhln/linuxulator-steam-utils@ea0fe31

Maintainer wanted. Contribute to shkhln/linuxulator-steam-utils development by creating an account on GitHub.

Trying pulling latest changes from github or updating the port and let us know if it fixes the issue or not.

Thank you

Hi,

I just did

portsnap fetch update
cd /usr/ports/games/linux-steam-utils
make deinstall
make reinstall clean

After several attemts of starting
steam
the client finally started running, but still the same problem, sorry.

Cool, thanks for testing. I pulled the latest changes from Git last week and also having the same issue; log similar to the one you posted. I guess the fix is not working or incomplete. Hopefully shklhn will find some time to revisit this and push another fix.

cabriofahrer · 2024-12-11T09:34:50+0000

OK, thanks! Keep me posted here please, so I can test.
