Script fails to add games to Steam
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I followed the steps described in the wiki for Flatpak use on Steamdeck. It managed to create the script for the game i have installed, but it fails to add the actual item to Steam. The error message points me to the logs, which only acknowledges that it found the game and says nothing else (no errors). I directly launched the script in terminal and there was still no output there, nor in the log file. The message in question said to consider reporting it here, so I thought I'd do so.
How can I help find more helpful information to debug the issue?
Did it show the "Failed to add game to Steam" dialog?
Also can you check if there's a shorcuts.vdf file in .steam/steam/userdata/<your_appid>/config?
Thats the dialog I got! The issue seems to have fixed itself, however. I rebooted and loaded into desktop mode again, and the script ran perfectly. I think the issue might have been related to Steam running in the background on desktop mode. Once I manually killed steam, the script ran perfectly. If so, then my only slightly helpful suggestion would be adding a troubleshooting note to the wiki page for Steam Deck.
