Erf, my Steamapps folder is around 260 Giga.
I have around 50 Giga left on my disks.

As a "tester" often more than a "player", i kind of need many installed games at once.

Hmmm...

Can’t i delete everything "around" the steamapps folder, while keeping it intact  ?

try completely removing steam-runtime dir from the same folder in ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32 and in ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32

steam --reset

and launching again.

I'm out of ideas really, did you search over arch bugs??

You could try running the flatpak version of steam in the meantime.


you need to install flatpak 1st

btw I don't use Arch :P

normally it would be "sudo pacman -S flatpak"

(but I'm not sure because I don't use arch btw :P )
then

flatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam

add the home directory so flatpak can see it

flatpak override com.valvesoftware.Steam --filesystem=/home/$USER


then launch it.

flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam


optional make it use the same cursor (you have to have the icon cursors installed in the home folder)

flatpak --user override com.valvesoftware.Steam --filesystem=/home/$USER/.icons/:ro


then you would have to open the steam settings and add the directory to the Library Folders where you normally install you steam games.
that would normally be ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps

Steam should pick up the games you have installed.

I’ve installed Steam Flatpak, i can launch Steam, and now a new problem arises...

Steam doesn’t see the installed games. The path seems good, my games data are still there, but according to Steam, the folder is empty of games, and shows correct empty size.

I tried to point to the path i see my games, but "Folder must be empty".

I tried to create a new Library folder, i can install games in both folder, but the the new folder is invisible, not hidden just not showing at all in the list of folders. So i cannot move games from folder 1 to folder 2.

Weird stuff happens...

(edit : the folder is "wrong", it’s not my "real" Home. Don’t know how to fix that.



(edit 2 : OK that’s because flatpak is inside its own world, so i need to cheat it to show my folder, but not sure how
I’ve found some things, like https://davejansen.com/give-full-filesystem-access-to-flatpak-installed-applications/ but i don’t know how to do it for my Steam games folder.

Also, using Flatpak is not the solution to my initial issue, and i can’t find on internet something i can understand.

(edit 3 : so, i think i managed to use my games via flatpak, with
[tchey@ordimanj ~]$ flatpak override --user --filesystem=~/.local/share/Steam/
[tchey@ordimanj ~]$ flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam

(edit 4 : aaaand... it seems i cannot launch any game via proton, only native ones.

sorry for that one I was pointing the override incorrectly.... But last time I checked on steam flatpak proton should work as normal. Do you have the checkbox "enable steam play for all titles" on. Also "enable steam play for supported titles" in settings under the Steam Play submenu.

in the meantime if an update broke your system, maybe another one fixes it, for now you can use flatpak in my experience it works the same way if you set the correct overrides.

Yep yep, all good but when i click play, Steam installs (or seems to) Proton and its friends, showing the window "launch when ready". And... that’s all. Nothing after that. If i close everything and restart, i hit Play, and nothing, just the button Play is grey for 1 sec and back to green Play. No message, nothing. Tried with several Proton games i played just before all this mess happened, same result.

Native games, no issue, click and play.

then I think you are missing some libraries. Do you use nvidia? do you have the 32 bit version of the driver installed? are all the 32 bit libraries needed by steam installed? I don't use Arch you should ask someone that does over the arch or manjaro forums. Maybe accidentaly some update removed some libraries needed by steam. Maybe this and the other problem have the same root.
(see if you have library problems flatpak can help with most of them but not all)

If you launch steam flatpak through a console maybe it throws some hint.

When i want to browse local files, Steam Flatpak doesn’t open anything, for native and proton games alike.
If i check integrity of local files, it seems to be checking something anyway.
Tried to change Proton version, but no change.

Example i see this when i click Play on the Proton game "Wizard Warfare" :

that library is too old or to new, more likely too new since Manjaro is rolling release, you should report that bug at Manjaro.

or that's within the flatpak container? not sure.

You could try using the beta flatpak of steam

flatpak remote-add --user flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo

flatpak update --appstream


flatpak install --user flathub-beta com.valvesoftware.Steam//beta


flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam//beta


you might need to repeat the process of overriding the filesystems again on flatpak this time using " com.valvesoftware.Steam//beta " instead.
