[Bug]: Steam stuck at "Loading user data" about docker-steam-headless HOT 5 OPEN

Best performance I've had is indeed with a HDMI dummy plug.
There is a way to get it to run headless if you follow the documentation on lyzardbye's docs using a custom xorg.conf utilizing a trick with twin view
-cef-disable-gpu only Disables GPU usage in Chromium Embedded Framework used by the steam client. Shouldn't effect gaming performance.

I am having this exact issue with a new install. Just tried to do it on UnRAID 6.11.5 for the first time, and everything seemed fine. Then it just stuck on loading data. I have an AMD GPU and have done any number of suggested tweaks to additional settings and reinstalls.

Could you try adding a variable to the template named STEAM_ARGS and set the value to: -silent -cef-disable-gpu

Well, for me I did find the issue: I had to attach an HDMI cable (or dummy plug which I don't own) to the proxmox host running the docker Container. Otherwise $DISPLAY seems not to be set. Could I work arround that somehow or do I need to do it that way?

@oldirtdog Does that work for you, too?

I hooked up a cable but it didn't change anything. Do you need to have an actual display connected? I can try that later, but I dont have anything at the moment.

EDIT: I did try the STEAM_ARGS thing and that did allow it to launch, but it definitely was not using the GPU (as expected with the flags)
