Won’t boot into gaming mode
Around a week ago when I booted up my pc it took forever to start up and it opened in the desktop instead of gaming mode. Then it says steam is updating and wants me to log into steam. If I try to launch gaming mode it updates steam again and it repeats. If I restart my pc again it launches into gaming mode wants me to log into steam again and all my settings are reset to default. If I turn my pc off and turn it back on the whole process restarts again. Is there a way to fix this or should I just do a clean install?

that means steam is crashing
open the terminal and run
ujust fix-reset-steam
then log back into steam
if it still causes issues then run the command again and remove the account from the account selector if it shows up with just a steam profile picture selection, and then log back in normally.
if neither works then you need to find out why steam is crashing, that is your actual issue.The command fixed it thanks man
that command keeps on being a winner to fix random steam fumbling over itself :clueless:
glad i made it
Same. It's one of your most useful scripts here. Also the
ujust fix-proton-hang is so useful tooyes, all because i got annoyed at something i made something to fix it
i kinda wish i could make this only reset proton, but sadly it also does anything based on wine :huh: no way to properly differenciate between them when all you know is "its an exe that can hang, its named the same in both proton and wine, screw it lets kill all of them and hope its nothing important" 😂
You could potentially look up the parent pid of steam. and then look for any processes in that tree rather than a killall.
But honestly, you usually only have one thing open and it's a game with an issue
then you need to note down the chain of pids and kill them too as killing the parent pid might not be enough
