Hello @Storyyeller, your log tells us you have the NVIDIA 390.157 driver release. The Vulkan error is a red herring and #10980 is a better match to your issue. Give https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10980#issuecomment-2183858579 a try.
Closing in favor of the older issue report.
Your system information
tar -zcvf ~/Desktop/steam-logs.tar.gz ~/.steam/steam/logs]Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Steam will not start up at all. When I run
steamfrom the console, it shows the webhelper endlessly crashing and being restarted. Thewebhelper-linux.txtlogs (attached) show that it keeps crashing with the error "Internal Vulkan error (-3): Initialization of an object could not be completed for implementation-specific reasons, in ../../third_party/angle/src/libANGLE/renderer/vulkan/RendererVk.cpp, initialize:1404."webhelper-linux.txt
Things I have already tried
This is my first time trying to run Steam, so I can't tell if it worked before.
