I was sure I had tested SR3, but maybe not.

Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): Latest Beta
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux 64 bit
Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

After doing the steps below the following output repeats and continues to open and close the Steam updating window on each cycle.
Edit: For clarification I'm not able to get to the standard Steam GUI so I can't change it back. This happens with the window that pops up everytime you open steam after restarting you computer.
I installed steam-native-runtime and ran with steam-native but nothing changed.
Github Gist

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Opt into Steam Play beta in settings
Restart Steam and get updates
Go into settings and enable Proton for all games
Restart Steam

Disabling Proton for all games and enabling it again seem to also trigger the update request.
It looks like the games installed directly through Linux Steam Play originally will only reupdate once, but will do require it again every time you disable and enable the Proton for all games option.

I don't know. For me, I was about to make an issue and saw this. It's reupdating my games every time I launch steam, regardless if I mess with proton settings or not.

@RaptorRCX are you using a Steam Library folder originally from Windows?

@Gokuroro Yep, that's the reason.

Games work perfectly fine (for the ones I can run), it is just even with all games enabled for Proton it wants to update everything again (even though it doesn't download anything half the time)
