Description Nate Graham 2019-04-24 19:53:42 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Steam
2. Launch Steam
3. Use Steam to find and install any game (tried with several)
4. When prompted, choose any combination of "install a desktop" and/or "install a start menu shortcut" (it doesn't matter)

OBSERVED RESULT
The launcher created on the desktop has no icon, it's just a label.


EXPECTED RESULT
The launcher on the desktop should have the game's icon

I tried with HL Deathmatch and HL Lost cost (the "smallest" games I had in my library) and they work fine.

Can you check the .desktop file it creates and whether the icon it points to is actually installed in e.g. ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor and a valid icon?

Please include their .desktop file generated in ~/Desktop

Civ 5 desktop file

I'm attaching the .desktop file for Civ 5. Here's the relevant bit:

Icon=steam_icon_8930

That icon does exist at ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/steam_icon_8930.png

A Steam client update fixed this universally for all games tested! \o/
