With FEB 5 update every game I try to launch hangs a few seconds after it starts loading.
I tried several games, CS 1.6, CS:S, Closure and it happens to all of them the same way.
I thought it might be overlay related so I disable it to no avail.

Starting steam with "STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam" fixes the problem.

Same here, Kubuntu 12.10, 64-bit
Works fine with "STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam"
Trying to launch CS:S (after launching Steam with "/usr/bin/steam %U") :

For all its worth, Closure isn't technically supported yet (it's not in the Linux category of the shop). That one is a whole separate can of worms.

Bbootkiller 2013-02-06 github

@MrSchism Well, Closure is working perfectly with "STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam".

This isn't a game related issue.

MMrSchism 2013-02-06 github

I'm aware that it's not a game related issue, it's just an oddity.... one I documented here, actually: https://gist.github.com/MrSchism/0bddd20a8015d3bc36c9

Look, mostly, at line 145 & 146.

STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam did not help for me - ThinkPad X201, Intel 3000, Fedora 18 64bits. Black screen :-(

@bootkiller, can you send strace output?
STEAM_RUNTIME=0 strace -f steam 2>&1 >/tmp/steam_runtime_disabled.txt
STEAM_RUNTIME=1 strace -f steam 2>&1 >/tmp/steam_runtime_enabled.txt

Also, are you comfortable using gdb?

Thanks!

Bbootkiller 2013-02-08 github

Hi, I tired to run with strace several times, unfortunately the system always hangs about the time the steam client opens.

However I managed to grab a strace of CS launching with "strace %command% > ~/Desktop/trace.out 2>&1" in the launch option until CS hangs. Hope this helps. https://gist.github.com/bootkiller/4739781

I'm not really a developer, but I can do something if it isn't too much complicated.

Thanks.

I'll keep trying the strace on client.

Sslouken 2013-02-08 github

It looks like it's hanging in opening an audio connection.
Can you attach the file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d//pulse.conf?

Sslouken 2013-02-08 github

Also can you run the trace again with strace -f?
Thanks!

Bbootkiller 2013-02-08 github

I added both here:
https://gist.github.com/bootkiller/4740385

Thanks

Cchank0 2013-02-08 github

Hi,

I am having the same issue: No game is able to start (I have tried half life, CS, TF2 and world of goo demo)

"STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam" fixes the problem with half life (other games untested)

In addition to this, steam system information dialog also stalls when starting steam without setting STEAM_RUNTIME to 0.

I am running KDE 4.9.4.

I include my pulse-alsa.conf.

Thanks to all

Can you try downloading these files and then running the .sh script to put them in your steam installation?
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/steam-runtime-update-3.sh
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/steam-runtime-update-3.tar.gz

Thanks!

Bbootkiller 2013-02-08 github

Didn't work. Games still hang on launch.
Correction, Cogs and closure are launching now, CS is still hanging.

Bbootkiller 2013-02-08 github

CS:Source is also hanging.

Sslouken 2013-02-08 github

Can you add a new strace?

Bbootkiller 2013-02-08 github

Here:
https://gist.github.com/bootkiller/4741364
I've been using CS for the traces.

Other non Valve games are also not working like Shank 2. If you like I can test every game on my library.

I also upgraded to KDE 4.10 after I created this issue.

Bbootkiller 2013-02-08 github

There's also another issue, the audio stream stopped appearing on Kmix.

Bbootkiller 2013-02-08 github

Steam is unable to play audio as well, test microphone doesn't work either.

PPawlerson 2013-02-08 github

When I'm trying to run "STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam" it complains about missing 32bit libraries. When I start it normally I can play World of Goo without sound, but Darwinia won't run at all.

Sorry for being the bearer of bad news but it regressed to the state before update-3.

Anyway, really appreciate that you're working on this issue.
Thanks.

Sslouken 2013-02-08 github

Can you give the the strace with and without the runtime again?
Thanks!

PPawlerson 2013-02-08 github

With these patches it become even worse. Darwinia hangs on a black screen and I have to restart my PC. World of Goo won't run at all now. STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam still not working.

trace4.out is too big for github, can you truncate it to 10 MB or so?

There you go.

Okay, we have a fix! It'll be in the next update. Thanks for all the info! :)

You're welcome, and thanks.

Everything is working.
Once again, thank you.
