With the check reached from the client's own runs right after login, the Steam client segfaulted
within seconds, four sessions out of four; the same build without the check (test/bisect-no-launch-check)
and the last build before it both reach Big Picture. Now every run that is not a game launch -
the client's probes, app id 0 - is left exactly as before. Each check logs one line.
Steam runs its graphics probe through every registered Proton at once after login, all in
compatdata/0. Prefix system32 links point into the Proton that set it up last, and the other
Protons' Wines, running outside Proton's pfx.lock, wrote their builtin DLLs through them into that
Proton's tree (device: GE's FEX DLLs became Proton Experimental's at session start).
- bannerlator-steam-compat: both wrappers (Valve's depot launcher and the third-party
bannerlator-proton-wrap) give a tool-0 run STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=.../compatdata/0-<tool>, and
before every other launch check the Proton's files against the app's desired.tsv and put back
anything that differs (same Proton build only), logging to reapplied.log.
- ComponentsManager writes desired.tsv plus unpacked copies of the packages in use into the
runtime after every change; the page and the drawer show 're-applied at launch'.
A Components entry under Desktop opens a page built like the driver pages: a
Proton drop-down, FEX / DXVK / VKD3D-Proton tabs, what is in use, the installed
rows (each Proton build's original bundle and the stored packages; tap to
swap in, trash to delete), downloads from the Nightlies -Linux releases behind
the refresh button, and Import .wcp.
The session drawer gets a fourth tab, Components, for quick swaps between
what is installed. A swap into the Proton a running game uses waits until the
game closes and is applied then (drawer refresh, or the main screen on resume).
ComponentsManager keeps the same package format, originals layout and state as
the Decky Components Manager plugin and takes its data over once. A swap clears
only the component's own DLLs, so files a Proton keeps beside them stay.
The three page dots between LB and RB become icons standing in a line in page order, as in
Steam's Quick Access Menu. The selected one steps forward (full size, bright, a soft glow in the
accent), the others step back to half size and fade, and the line leans a little toward the
selection; tapping or picking a tab with the pad, and LB / RB, turn the page as before. The
first page's heading becomes Display to match its icon.
In touchpad mode the cursor moved but Big Picture highlighted nothing and a tap-to-click
selected nothing: the nested pointer's motion reaches wlserver as touch 0, and in Passthrough
(the touch mode Big Picture sets) a motion for a touch that is not down moves nothing, so the X
pointer stayed where it was. 0111 passes bAlwaysWarpCursor, as the other touch modes already warp.
3.16.29's Wayland backend bound only wl_pointer and wl_keyboard; touch from DroidDeck's
compositor was never read, so Steam could not be touched. 0110 binds wl_touch in the input
thread and feeds each finger to wlserver_touchdown/touchmotion/touchup, the Steam Deck
touchscreen's path, so Big Picture's Passthrough touch mode gets real touches.
On the pointer path (a client that takes no wl_touch - gamescope), touch_down counted the
fingers still down before clearing a sequence whose up had been lost, so the stale point left
any_active set and every later tap or swipe was dropped: in Direct touch mode Big Picture
ignored the screen while the pad worked. The count is taken after the clean-up, and the app
ends whatever the compositor still holds when a new gesture's first finger lands (Android has
ended every earlier gesture by then). The compositor logs once per gesture whether the window
got touch or the pointer.
The client's UI log names the signed-in account on every login change ("Login:
OnLoginStateChange <account> ...", "OnLoginUsersChanged <account>"), ~200 lines on one device.
An email account was caught by the email rule; a plain account name was not, so a user signing in
with one had it in every shared log. Those two lines now lose the account, and every
AccountName and PersonaName in the client's loginusers.vdf is learned (with the device's own
addresses, learnFromRuntime) and replaced wherever it appears. The one-time pass over older
folders runs again for this (marker .scrubbed-2).
