Steam freezes after quitting a game
Hi Everyone,
Bazzite runs almost flawlessly on my desktop PC, but I keep running into a strange bug (?) where Steam will freeze after I quit playing a game. The icon still appears for me in my system tray (I'm in GNOME, so in the area at the top right of the screen) and I can still click on that icon to see various options (recently played games, Store, Library, Community, etc.). But if I try to bring up my library or go to the store, nothing happens. The only thing I can do is exit Steam... and then restart it, at which point everything works as intended.
Here are my system stats:
- Graphics: AMD Radeon™ RX 6750 XT
- Firmware Version: H.C0 (MSI Pro B550M-VC Wifi MB)
- OS Name: Bazzite 41 (FROM Fedora Silverblue)
- OS Build: Stable (F41.20250301)
- OS Type: 64-bit
- GNOME Version: 47
- Windowing System: Wayland
- Kernel Version: Linux 6.13.5-102.bazzite.fc41.x86_64
A couple of things I've noted since I started experiencing this a few weeks ago:
1. I have Steam start when I boot my computer up. But if I run Steam from the terminal instead (so close it, then run it from a terminal with 'steam'), this problem doesn't seem to happen as consistently.
2. This doesn't happen consistently. If I play for just a few minutes and then quit out of a game, Steam runs as normal.
3. I've noticed that I get a message about my Caffeine Timer being disabled upon exiting these games. No idea if there's a connection, but I do know there's an option to enable Caffeine for any full screen app. Relevant?
4. Elden Ring, Stellaris, and Monster Hunter Rise are the games I've been playing recently, all at full screen. I've tried borderless full screen too, same outcome.
I'll post some logs that might be relevant. Let me know if you need more. Thanks!
