Playonlinux Steam Black Screen -- update

Question

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 ?

Solution

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 works for me. Just adding -no-browser instead of -no-cef-sandbox did the job also. But with this way i can't open friend's list.

This is not a fix or even necessary, you could always just go to the View menu and select the mini list regardless of launch parameters

This isn't necessary, you could always just go to the View menu and select the mini list even when steam opens to a blank page
