[solved]Steam client can't connect

without having made any updates to the (previously working) steam client or the Arch system, I can no longer connect to Steam online.

I have installed version 1.0.0.74 of the client. I have also tried steam-native-runtime 1.0.0.70.

kernel 5.16.0

I tried to uninstall, remove all config and game files, and reinstall.

after reinstall, it attempts to update the client and still can not connect.

it was suggested I run

steam -tcp

however, that fails as well.

I am using an unknown business network. is it possible they are blocking Steam connections? that's just my shot-in-the-dark question because I get this

assert_20220115125953_8.dmp[18781]: Finished uploading minidump (out-of-process): success = yes

but Ivre read elsewhere people were having problems as well.

Looks like that business network uses meraki to control what connected systems can and can't do .
Blocking gaming related sites/ servers is rather common for business networks.


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
