Steam games won't lauch (Problem with Mutter)

Which itself links to other issues/commits.

One thread suggests trying env var

SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0

I will try that later, thanks!

@Yochanan hello! This can be marked as a issue from the last stable update (04/06/2023)?
The problem seems be with this version of Mutter.
I am facing the same issue that is showing in the previous links that I posted.
If necessary, I can post more details.
Thanks!

Hello, folks.
I still have the same problem.
I am thinking in downgrade Mutter ou install a AUR version just to test, but, I am not a expert, and if something goes wrong, I probably won’t know how to fix.
Meanwhile, still hopping for some solution or for the next update…

As I mostly play games via Lutris, as of late, I finally tested Steam too.

I have somewhat similar issue with glxinfo: not found and having mesa-utils package installed - in my case disabling mangohud overlay with MANGOHUD=0 in Steam launch options solved my issue of Steam games not starting.

Here are my Steam launch options:

gamemoderun MANGOHUD=0 %command%

Update:
mangohud with Lutris works just fine.

Hello, everybody.
Last update.
On the last stable update (2023-07-10), the issue gone away.
I really don’t have a very precise diagnosis, but mutter was updated, so, probably my theory was correct. Steam games are launching correctly.

One problem remain: caffeine-ng still crashing or with bad behavior.

But, for the problem on this thread, I assume that the issue was solved by just updating.
