Steam doesn't show window(s) on hyprland

Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if this is the right place to share my experience, but I thought it might be useful here. I’m not sure if anyone else has encountered this, but I’ve been using Arch with Hyprland since last year, and I had an issue when launching Steam through wofi, you only see the tray icon but no window, any window who trys to come up gets destroyed.
However, starting it via the command line worked fine.
After some investigation, I realized the issue might be related to the Steam desktop file at /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop. I looked into the file, I found these two parameters:

PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true
X-KDE-RunOnDiscreteGpu=true

After commenting these lines out, Steam was able to show up window(s) through wofi again. The problem is that every time Steam get updated, this file gets overwritten.
To solve this, I created a hook to automatically comment out these settings after each update:

[Trigger]
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Package
Target = steam

[Action]
Description = STEAM: Disable KDE settings that break the Steam GUI on Hyprland
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /bin/bash -c "sed -i 's/PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true/#PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true/g' /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop; sed -i 's/X-KDE-RunOnDiscreteGpu=true/#X-KDE-RunOnDiscreteGpu=true/g' /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop"

Maybe this should be a note in the ArchWiki.
I hope this helps anyone who might be facing this issue!

Kind Regards
lucki1000

My specs are:
AMD Ryzen 7 7700
AMD Radeon RX 6900XT (using amdgpu not amdgpu-pro)
32GB RAM
Linux 6.11.6-zen1-1-zen
Hyprland 0.45.0

Re: Steam doesn't show window(s) on hyprland

Can you share your conf files for Hyprland?

I feel like you shouldn't need to comment out those lines in ~/Desktop/steam.desktop. I use Hyprland and steam works great (provided the game doesn't have an anti-cheat software that requires windows like COD). I am using a NVIDA GPU and rofi-wayland though. AMD should be a lot easier to get working. I haven't used wofi.

Here are my configs located in ~/.config/hypr
