Box64 - Unable to Login To Steam (Odin 2)
Hello
After building Box64 with the Box32 options, I was able to get Steam "running" on the Odin 2. Unfortunately, now I've run into an issue where the client will not allow me to sign in. Either it will not recognize that the steam app has authorized a login, or it will show a "busy" icon after pressing "sign in" and will stay that way if attempted manually. For the record, I wasn't able to find options for building for Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, so I attempted it with SD888 in the build options and got this far. After checking vulkaninfo, Vulkan is shown as being version 1.3.285, although I don't know if Vulkan plays any part in this. I recently attempted this again, but with the same results. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the terminal output when trying to install/run using ./steam from the tar.gz package found at https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux:

Yes, I'm aware Box32 have some issue with steam, with some threads "freezing" making steam unresponsive. Making steam stable is on my short-term todo-list, but it's a complex issue with no clear error.
(side note, SD8G2 is the profile for Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC)
I found a possible deadlock, mostly affecting box32, and just pushed a fix. Can you update box64 and try again, si if it's more stable now?
If you look at the global one, the only thing is box32 Not fully compatible with the app yet, but I know you are doing your best to make the system run as many apps (games) as possible, thanks for your work
This did solve the issue with sign-in! I was able to get the client to sign into my account with the app. Unfortunately, a new set of issues has popped up. On first start-up, the interface was completely black save for new game notifications and the friends list. After rebooting, no change save for lack of the list and new game ads. I'm able to interact with the interface, albeit to an extremely limited degree (I can blindly select one of the options at the top and sometimes see the other options, such as "Featured, Discovery, Wishlist, etc."). Basically, the client signs in, but there's no way to access the games list or options. I even tried small mode (after a lot of blind tapping to find the option), but that was also just a black rectangle. There also seem to be a few instances where it will freeze, crash, and reappear.
Это решило проблему со входом! Мне удалось заставить клиента войти в мою учетную запись с помощью приложения. К сожалению, возник новый набор проблем. При первом запуске интерфейс был полностью черным, за исключением уведомлений о новых играх и списка друзей. После перезагрузки никаких изменений, за исключением отсутствия списка и рекламы новых игр. Я могу взаимодействовать с интерфейсом, хотя и в крайне ограниченной степени (я могу вслепую выбрать один из вариантов вверху и иногда видеть другие варианты, такие как «Избранное, Открытие, Список желаний и т. д.»). По сути, клиент входит в систему, но нет возможности получить доступ к списку игр или параметрам. Я даже попробовал малый режим (после множества слепых нажатий, чтобы найти параметр), но это был просто черный прямоугольник. Также, кажется, было несколько случаев, когда он зависал, вылетал и снова появлялся.

I do remember seeing the coffincolors pack a while ago when testing Winlator on Android. If I have the issue again, I'll check it out. I was able to fix the issue by tapping where "Steam" would normally be on the client. This allowed me to access the settings. After setting startup to library, disabling GPU accelerated rendering in web views, and disabling hardware video decoding, everything became visible after the restart (I'm not sure which one fixed it, but I remember the Nintendo Switch needed those checked off on L4T Linux; it might have been a memory problem at the time, but somehow it worked in this case). I'm going to be testing some games to see if everything works correctly.
It will still be unstable, might crash from time to time. It is usable tho. You can download / update / play games.
Might be relevant: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/13122 on my Ampere+NVidia machine, I add issue with latest Mesa driver. The fix has been pushed to mainline but may take some time to be built and distributed in the OS... In the mean time, the workaround is to move away libvulkan_gfxstream.so. It might help with qcom devices too...
The Mesa fix will be available in Mesa 25.2 (it first appeared in the tagged 25.2.0-rc1 release).
