I keep trying to restart Steam, and I keep getting this. Strangely, the first time I tried to record what was happening, it successfully opened on that occasion, but ~~I couldn't get it to work again.~~ I lowered the resolution to record.

Edit: Since the main image slot doesn't seem to work, I'll try to add it bellow:

Edit 2: NVM, it keeps changing it from ![](https://sopuli.xyz/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FRTjTRgH8%2FSteam-UI-issue.webp) to ![](https://sopuli.xyz/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FRTjTRgH8%2FSteam-UI-issue.webp)!!!

Edit 3: REALLY?!? Even if I put the link in an inline code block?!?

Update: Strangely, it works consistently when using the desktop shortcut, but consistently fails when using the menu shortcut.

Update 2: I've commented the contents of the two .desktop files.

Update 3: Changing the main Exec in the .desktop that doesn't work to be the same as the one that does didn't work. Although using one of the "sub-options" from the menu short cut such as "Store" or "Library" seems to work, even though the default launch doesn't.
