cannot play any game on steam

20pesos

I cannot play any game on steam. I have steam configured to open in big pictore mode and since last week I cannot launch any game. The steam app appears in the tray but the window is invisible. This means I cannot launch any game.
Yesterday I uninstalled steam and reinstaled and it seemed to work once but today once again the same story.

Please anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

20pesos Never heard of this? Maybe running Steam from the terminal will give us some insight. Post screenshot or terminal output of that.

Is your system fully updated?
What desktop environment (KDE Plasma, GNOME, Budgie, or xfce) are you using?
How did you install Steam? Normal Solus package? Flatpak? Something else?
Open the "Linux Steam Integration" app and share a screenshot of the settings that appear there. Should be just a handful of toggles.

Yes
Gnome (running at 150% scaling)
Solus package
4.
Use native runtime OFF
Force 32- bit mode for Steam OFF
Use the intercept library ON
Use the redirect library ON
Use the Unity fullscreen workaround ON

It has somehow fixed itself now which is very confusing to me. If it happens again which I suspect it might, I will post the terminal output.
Thank you TeenCorn and thank you infinitymdm for your help today!
