Hello @olddesklamp, this issue may have already been fixed in the current Steam client beta. Please opt into Steam's client beta and retest. |

@kisak-valve Nope. Still happens after switching to the latest beta (Feb 6 @ 19:03). |

Output of journalctl after opening Steam and entering then shortly exiting Big Picture Mode. I did all of this after a cold boot.

This is a crash somewhere inside |

Several crash IDs were given when I started then closed Steam both with the desktop and gamepad UIs. Here they are: Destkop UIGamepad UI |

I'm having similar issue, but I'm on i3 with ArchLinux. Here's what happens: i3 offers multiple workspaces, when I fire up steam with the new deck UI, it's working fine, if I switch to another workspace and then back, the UI gets stuck, I can hear by clicking arrow keys or joystick that behind the scenes it seems steam is actively selecting stuff, but I can't see it happening, the only thing that I see showing up is when I click the steam menu, then the side menu shows up, but popup following clicking any of the options in the menu isn't displayed, even though I can hear selection in the hidden popup when using arrows. If I click for shutdown steam, I can't see the usual shutdown popup, but I can hear browsing it. I can't do anything in the UI, so I just terminate it in htop. This also happens often when exiting some games (not just when switching workspace, which is a way I found for easy reproduction). I'm now using |

The latest update in the Steam Client Beta (Feb. 17 2023 @ 23:57:13) appears to have fixed this issue. Big Picture Mode now functions as it should. |

It still happens to me even with the latest update. My system information The problem described Screencast.from.18-03-23.08.39.52.webmScreencast.from.18-03-23.08.43.49.webmIf we open steam from the terminal with the command Screencast.from.18-03-23.10.09.43.webm |

I have the same problem, I have literally the same behaviour when I try to open Steam in Big picture mode. (Actually I can't even try the Beta version because does a similar thing). Can confirm if I open Steam via terminal with steam --gamepadui it works too. |

I just found the reason Big Picture wasn't working in my case. It seems if I don't open Steam with "using the discrete graphic" option, I can't open Steam properly. So, Steam doesn't open Big Picture mode in integrated graphic AMD... |
|
I found a workaround, so gonna post it just in case helps someone: Edit the application launcher on usr/share/applications/ with root permissions (please, backup the file somewhere before changing anything):
and then making the following change:
That solves it for me, going to keep testing if I notice a drop in performance but everything OK so far. |
My system information
The problem described
The updated Big Picture Mode doesn't start correctly when opened from either the client or the system tray, instead periodically glitching the entire display while playing a sound effect as shown in this video:

It continues behaving this way until I exit Big Picture Mode. This is similar to what's been described in #8916, but unlike any reports on that issue this has nothing to do with Nvidia drivers as I'm using an aging AMD card. Accessing Big Picture Mode by starting Steam with
steam -gamepaduiin the terminal works fine.Steps for reproducing this issue:
