Steam Deck flatpak xbox sign in window

[JCTwiist]

I'm currently having an issue on the steam deck with the flatpak version. The Xbox sign-in page is not displaying, and this is for all versions of the game. If I download the oldest version (1.14.60.5) I get an error message in the log.

The latest version (1.19.51) doesn't display anything to the consoles. Here is the whole dump.

Why does some people think exit code 6 is meaningful? It is just a unix signal number.

Process exited with unexpected exit code: 6

1.14.60.5

The flatpak no longer has the code for xbox login < 1.19.20.

I thought that the xbox sign in issues of 1.19.51.01 are resolved in that version of the client.

You can try sign in via 1.19.40, it has been the workaround for launcher release v0.6.0.

This is related to network slowness and the game takes ages to fully load and to open sign in or sign out webviews

[JCTwiist]

The flatpak no longer has the code for xbox login 1.19.20.

Okay thanks for letting me know. Is there a recommended version that I should use. I'm primarily trying to get my deck to work for a friends realm on the steam deck.

You can try sign in via 1.19.40, it has been the workaround for launcher release v0.6.0.

I'm new to using github is there a terminal command that I can run to compile this version? Or is there somewhere I can go to get a copy of that.

This is related to network slowness and the game takes ages to fully load and to open sign in or sign out webviews

Yeah the network speed here is quite slow. I will try this with my phone as I have a faster connection.

[ChristopherHX]

I'm new to using github is there a terminal command that I can run to compile this version? Or is there somewhere I can go to get a copy of that.

We have a GUI, no need for a terminal

Just press the pencil icon next to Default, then change the version in the dropdown, you can revert the change by select latest version.

There is no reason to install v0.6.0, it is more buggy than what you have installed. (AppImages have a release history of old version as binaries.)

Any suggestion on how to make the GUI more accessible, you are not the only one who didn't understand the GUI.

I've tried reinstalling the flatpak via the konsole. And I've installed the older version of Minecraft but I get stuck on this screen. The window doesn't pop up.

I'll try the AppImages then I might format the Steam Deck. I haven't made any changes to the OS as I want to get used to it.

Thanks, I use the GUI a lot. It works really well. I will disable the game log once I've got everything working for a cleaner exit.

I will keep this issue open, unless I or a contributor figures out how to resolve slow network communication.

I'm using ubuntu22.04 x86_64 and I'm not that much affected by this issue like you.

I don't need a that fast internet to get the sign in view open after a few seconds

• Download ≈ 14Mbit/s
• Upload ≈ 1Mbit/s

However this is definetly the same bug, everyone sees in this launcher in a less disturbing way.

[JCTwiist]

Thanks for keeping it open. If there is anything I can test for you please let me know and I will try and help. I might write a troubleshooting guide if steam deck user are having this problem. Is there anyway of doing further verbose logging that I can look through or xbox window sign-in script to try and replicate?
I'm currently running: SteamOS 3.4.4

I wasn't able to get the Appimages installed. I and wasn't sure how to do it on Arch. So I factory reset the steam deck with no other software installed the software from the Discover store. The issue is still the same, running on 1.19.04. I also tried a selection of older versions 1.18.0.02, 1.16.40.02, and 1.14.60.5. I also thought it might be due to the firewall so I disabled the firewall temporarily as well, and there was no change.

If you mean archlinux, just

chmod +x /path/to/file.AppImage
# Now just execute the file
/path/to/file.AppImage

In some rare cases this might crash before opening the GUI, like the flatpak.

AppImages for Linux are like an .exe on Windows, but you have to allow executing it.

The game doesn't seem tell the launcher to open the webview, therefore the game itself is not responding to your login request,

To be honest I didn't find anything there on my side, you could try it anyways

You can enable trace messages between the game and the launcher (via the fake java native interface, this launcher uses c++ to replicate the java code binding of the game), however you need to compile yourself and enable compile time flags https://mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extra/advanced/jni/index.html

The xbox login support code of this launcher is probably not the best, but works most of the time. The login itself is handled inside the game, the launcher provides an fake java webview binding to open a login window.

[ChristopherHX]

You might need to wait a minute and press login multiple times.

Thank you. I am relatively new to Linux. I have gotten the AppImage version installed, and that has the same issue. I found that SteamOS doesn't have java installed. So I used this guide to install Java. I thought this might be causing the window not to open.

Does that "fake java" window get called by the app and then passed to the launcher then opens? Or is this all done inside the app?

I'd like to do this, but it's been a while since I've used and IDE. What IDE are you using to compile the software?

I'm also having a similar issue getting xbox login working on Steam Deck. Like @JCTwiist it's hanging on "Signing in with your Microsoft Account" when signing in from a fresh install, but also after restarting and clicking the "Sign In" button on the left hand side of the home screen I get a "Failed to login" message with "Error Code: Drowned".

I've managed to compile with JNI logging - any chance you could take a look, please?

mcpelauncher-client.log

[JCTwiist]

Yeah o think there might be something that the Steam deck doesn't have that we might need to have a look. I might spin up an arch VM to see if it works fine.

[ChristopherHX]

clicking the "Sign In" button on the left hand side of the home screen I get a "Failed to login" message with "Error Code: Drowned".

Means you were to fast pressing the "login button" or "mcpelauncher-webview" is not installed (You can add it to PATH to bypass an installation), if it's the first case then just retry pressing sign in.

This confirms the game doesn't even attempt to tell the mcpelauncher-client to open the mcpelauncher-webview.

The sign in code isn't bugfree and sometimes simplifies things by stubs instead of real code.

[JCTwiist]

Hi Chris,

Sorry again I'm new to Linux. Is the path /home/deck/.var/app/io.mrarm.mcpelauncher/data?

Also do we have to compile the mcpelauncher-webview. As the link seems to be only the source files.

Thanks for all your help so far.
