I got black screen like said in this post : PlayOnLinux Steam black screen

Friend's list, Library, everything show me a black screen.

The answer in the link i posted can't work anymore : a part of this answer is to put Windows Version : Windows XP in wineconfig

As of now, steam can't be launched with Windows XP. So I have to put Windows 7 or 10, and the "-no-cef-sandbox" argument seems to be useless alone.

I can add that i also tried to put d3d11 in Native Windows without success. Someone could help ?

I had the exact same issue. I found an easy fix for me:

Instead of putting the "no cef sandbox..." in the Arguments field, just type:

wine steam.exe -no-browser +open steam://open/minigameslist

That did the trick for me! Hope it works for you too.

This is the command that works for me:

wine "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -no-browser +open steam://open/minigameslist

After an upgrade of 20.04 to 22.04, the steam launchpad icon opened only black windows. Starting steam from the command line still worked. The fix was to edit the /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop file:

cd /usr/share/applications

and edit the steam.desktop file:

sudo vi steam.desktop

and change the line in the [Desktop Entry] section to false:
PrefersNonDefaultGPU=false

My preferred GPU was the Nvidia GPU, so when the entry was true, the Intel GPU was used (and didn't work for steam).
