Many of my games are occasionally showing this Test Pattern, rather than showing one of the mini-videos from the game.
In Returnal, it happens at the end of every loop, instead of showing the crash.
In Astroneer, it happens when booting up the game.
There are others, but I don't recall immediately.
Audio works normally, video switches from what it is supposed to be to the given photo (full screen).

#

The bottom-right shows white-noise video (it's active video, not a ... static... picture).

That's some cutscene or other kind of video being encoded with Media Foundation

also how you installed your steam client

rapid quarry
#

It's been working fine for a while, and I played Returnal a couple of times after it came out.

#

Originally installed via the "special" site Steam for Linux led me to, and it's been updating every time via the auto-updater.

do not install software from untrusted source

#

unless you can trust them and they wont do bam bozzles on your device

#

would you tell which site you installed steam?

#

uh this one

#

you should configure apt source

#

they have instructions to configure

#

you are on ubuntu / debian / popos right? then apt are optimal way to go

rapid quarry
#

Ubuntu

slow plinth
#

then restart steam

rapid quarry
#

Already did

#

When I first installed it

#

That was part of the problem with Proton not working right on Day 1.

#

It's been a couple months since I got Steam working the first time.

#

I'm going to restart the system. brb

#

Also, any suggestions on this (pictured below) error? Just remove the apt for it?
