Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

After recent system update, I start Steam, it shows system tray icon, but Steam window is not opened. I cannot launch any games. Terminal shows some error messages about GTK 2:

/usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/widgets/entry:70: error: unexpected identifier 'direction', expected character '}'
/usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/widgets/styles:36: error: invalid string constant "combobox_entry", expected valid string constant

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install openSUSE Tumbleweed Linux
  2. Install steam by sudo zypper install steam
  3. Launch steam

Hello @guoyunhe, can you check if any 32 bit OpenGL application like glxinfo from Mesa-demo-x-32bit works?

@kisak-valve solved by delete and reinstall steam (opt out beta)
