Issues with various apps talking to servers (Steam, Discord, Paradox)

I'll be the first to admit that I am not particularly familiar with networking.
I am currently experiencing an assortment of issues with apps but they do not occur in Firefox. Steam works fine in browser, but I want to play games that use the steam friends network to handle multiplayer. Discord works fine in browser as well, but the application tries and fails to connect to servers to check for updates and otherwise connect to servers at all. I play Stellaris a lot, and if I launch it directly, the Paradox Launcher is unable to connect to its servers to let me log in. All of these things work just fine in Firefox, but outside of Firefox they seem to have an issue.

Things Ive Tried:
Steam: Steam beta client, steam native runtime, ensuring I have the 32-bit dependencies installed as is indicated on the wiki page for steam troubleshooting, cache clearing for web browser and download in steam, clean install of steam, reboots
Discord: Multiple clean installs of discord, discord-canary, and discord-dev. Same sort of issues with not being able to reach servers.
Paradox Launcher: Can launch this directly from the desktop icon or by searching for it, but it's useless as Paradox can't connect to it's servers to log me in nor can it connect to the steam Friend Network. Tried clean installing stellaris

I believe this may be some sort of DNS issue based on some other old reddit posts and forum posts I've found from a few years ago, but haven't had any luck. I've tried enabling nscd.service and restarting. I've tried enabling systemd-resolved and restarting. Nothing seems to work and I'm at a loss. I don't really understand DNS beyond the very top level.

My system is up to date and otherwise free of issues.

Here is my /etc/hosts

# Static table lookup for hostnames.
# See hosts(5) for details.
127.0.0.1      localhost
::1            localhost
127.0.1.1      noaharchgaminglaptop.localdomain noaharchgaminglaptop

Re: Issues with various apps talking to servers (Steam, Discord, Paradox)

You can try replacing the contents of /etc/hosts with this:

127.0.0.1      localhost
127.0.1.1      noaharchgaminglaptop.localdomain noaharchgaminglaptop
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

I was having connectivity issues with Uplay (Ubisoft Connect) and this helped.

Unfortunately this did not solve the problem even after a reboot sad
I think I'm gonna just have to clean install at this point...

Bullshit. Also you'll likely just end up in the same situation again.

The DNS estimation is sound, FF will likely use its internal resolution mechanism.

So let's see. Outputs of

ip a; ip r
ping -c1 8.8.8.8 google.com
ping -c1 google.com
drill  @8.8.8.8 google.com
drill google.com
nslookup google.com
stat /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

Re: Issues with various apps talking to servers (Steam, Discord, Paradox)

So systemd-resolved is active, but operates as a client of /etc/resolv.conf where networkmanager has configured 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare) as main DNS and 192.168.1.1 as secondary.
You actually can resolve (and ping) google.com through various mechanisms.

What might be at play is ambiguity between nscd and resolved, can you

resolvectl query discord.com # ideally use the domain that discord actually fails to resolve

And what if you disable both, systemd-resolved and nscd?

ftr, copy-and-fail, should have been "ping -c1 8.8.8.8" but it doesn't matter since you can even ping the domain.

I can resolve discord itself. However, specific links seem to fail only in the various apps.

Ex:

https://discord.com/app?_=1638833436988

Logging output from discord shows this pattern:
All of those links in there work perfectly fine when pasted into a browser.

I will try disabling both and rebooting and report back.

Re: Issues with various apps talking to servers (Steam, Discord, Paradox)

Post disabling systemd-resolved, nscd, and rebooting:

There is no change. Logs from steam and discord are the same. Discord is unable to load at all. Steam is unable to load any web content and the friends network (steam gives "Error Code: -7  Unable to connect to server. Server may be offline or you may not be connected to the internet")

Next steps?

Re: Issues with various apps talking to servers (Steam, Discord, Paradox)

I can resolve discord itself. However, specific links seem to fail only in the various apps.

That's not a DNS issue at all. You can probably re-enable those services if you want.

Error downloading with electron net: network timeout:

Can you

wget 'https://discordapp.com/app?_=1638834697962'

This smells like a discord/electron bug - did you conduct a partial update and does "sudp pacman -Syu" therefore fix the problem?

I did not do a partial upgrade. I run yay and/or sudo pacman -Syyu daily and attend the upgrade to ensure it completes successfully. I'm not sure it's an electron issue because I'm fairly sure Steam and the Paradox Games launcher do not use electron at all.

Re: Issues with various apps talking to servers (Steam, Discord, Paradox)

"pacman -Syyu" - https://man.archlinux.org/man/core/pacm … PLY_TO_-S)
Don't use "-yy" unconditionally or because you don't know what it does. You can trash your package database and in any event put undue burden on the mirror.

I'm fairly sure Steam and the Paradox Games launcher do not use electron at all.

I quite frankly don't see a (network or other) error in your steam output.
For discord, you're getting 301 (so do I, fwwi) - so the url might simply be dated and discord doesn't follow the redirect.
It does succeed to fetch https://discord.com/api/modules/stable/versions.json - albeit using "node net" instead of "electron net" (whatever that may mean)
=> Discord might be an issue w/ its cache - or completely unrelated. I assume what you previously posted is not the entire output?
Do we have error messages from the paradox launcher? Actual error messages from steam?

I'm pretty sure this isn't a DNS problem.
