Steam Issues after F41 Update

Bazzite
1

I’m experiencing a strange problem with Steam after the latest F41 update to Bazzite. It seems like there’s some sort of scaling issue - the Steam client is rendering way too small, and when I launch any game from Steam the game seems to be running at a massive resolution and I can only see the top quadrant of the game.

I tried running “ujust fix-reset-steam” and the client does re-install, but this error is displayed repeatedly in the terminal

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/extest/libextest.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

Anyone else seeing similar?

Similar. For me steam was always pretty small. I have a 4k screen with 175% scaling.

The update to 41 didn´t make it worse or better.

But stopping steam and starting it on command line with “steam” makes it workable.

Pretty strange.

Yea, scaling bugged and add a game menu doesn’t show

Edit: Just saw that happens also to battle.net and epic launcher running in bottles.

Edit 2: the problem is withing xwayland-native-scaling that was enabled in fedora 41 by default. Use only scale-monitor-framebuffer’ for now

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features “[‘scale-monitor-framebuffer’]”

Thanks! That did the trick for me.

A note for noobs like me - I did have to modify the gsettings command for my setup. I’d recommend anyone finding this check their current config with

gsettings get org.gnome.mutter experimental-features

As an example, I utilize a VRR display so I had to include that feature in my set command:

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['variable-refresh-rate', 'scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
