[SOLVED] Steam needs to be online to update. Plz confirm your network

I'm trying to run steam after installing it from pacman and enabling the multilib repository. Whenever I try to run steam I'm given the error in the title with the console output below.

~ > steam

I'm not sure what's causing the http error 0. Some have suggested you need certain things in your /etc/hosts and I believe I've filled out mine correctly.

~ > cat /etc/hosts
# Static table lookup for hostnames.
# See hosts(5) for details.

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost
127.0.1.1       ArchPC.localdomain      ArchPC

I've also tried the recommended solution in the arch wiki by installing nss-mdns and lib32-nss individually, restarting and trying again but neither worked. I'm running out of ideas so I'm hoping you guys can help. Thanks in advance.

It gives an error. I checked and I can get to store.steampowered.com through firefox though.

AFAIK firefox uses its own DNS servers by default nowadays.

How is your network configured? What does /etc/resolv.conf contain?

I believe this means your machine can't reach any nameserver, not that the DNS itself doesn't resolve. Try 'dig xxx.archlinux.com` (with the three x's) and you probably get the same answer, even though we know there's no resolution to that name.

You're right. What can be done about this?

I missed the earlier message about /etc/resolv.conf. It is empty. I'm using systemd-resolved for what it's worth.

~ > cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Resolver configuration file.
# See resolv.conf(5) for details.

For anyone running in the same problem: You probably forgot to redirect your resolv.conf:

sudo ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

It's been a while since I had this issue but I think I actually resolved it by installing dhcpcd. I'll tentatively mark it as SOLVED but I'll undo it if this answer makes no sense. It works for me now but I can't fully recall what did it.
