Steam - "Verifying installation" status/screen never finishes

[handtrixx]

Hi,
First at all: I love the wolf project! You did a more than amazing job here.
Sincereley since some weeks I have the issue, which even reapears after a clean setup: When starting Steam the "Verifying installation" status/screen never finishes. To get there I had to switch the config to gamscope RUN_GAMESCOPE=true but the rest of my settings is pretty the standard.
Am I the only one facing this issue?

the log output of the steam container is:

Hi there! 👋
Thanks for the kind words, that's appreciated!

We've recently fixed a similar issue that was affecting Intel/AMD with a recent update to the Steam client. Have you already tried downloading the latest version with:

docker pull ghcr.io/games-on-whales/steam:edge

and restarting Wolf?

(Make sure to put back the default env variables in config.toml too)

[handtrixx]

Wow, thanks for the quick response on a sunday!

Now, i feel stupid, the "docker pull ghcr.io/games-on-whales/steam:edge" was enough to make it work again with the standard config!
Somehow I didn't think of that if i do a normal docker compose pull, it will only update the wolf container image itself but not not the related apps in use. ouch... Maybe that's worth to notice in the documentation for others as stupid like me.
So, a thousand thanks again!

btw.: if you need support with the documentation or in writting fancy react UIs, I would love to help you out.

Somehow I didn't think of that if i do a normal docker compose pull, it will only update the wolf container image itself but not not the related apps in use. ouch...

Yeah, you definitely aren't the first one to fall into that trap; I should really find a better way to bake that into Wolf.. At the very least print out a warning if there's a new version of some app available.

I'll take all the help that I can get, PRs are very much welcome here!

P.S. there's a UI in the works but I've been sidetracked by other interesting things in the meantime, stay tuned! 😉
