If I had a wish for christmas from GabeN or Valve in general, it would be actually meaningful error messages from steam.
If I had two wishes, I would like a community tool to share configs to make games work that require tweaking.
But I’d be very happy if I got better error messages.
Steam on Linux only for the last 10 years. I don’t recall ever seeing a disk write error.
Makes one wonder.
Now that I think about it, that is across two desktops, two laptops, and more recently two steam decks and a steam machine. They all have one thing in common besides steam.
We’ve gotten disk write errors, but it’s basically always “oops we ran out of disk space”. Sometimes because we have plenty of disk space but the game is packed in such a way that steam needs the entire game’s worth of free space to apply patches (looking at you, Palworld!).
