Do you have the fonts installed? (apt-get install ttf-arphic-uming ttf-wqy-zenhei) also try running with STEAM_RUNTIME=0
The second thing is really a workaround, if it does indeed fix it, then Valve needs to fix the Steam Runtime to work with East Asian fonts.
brpylko, many thanks.
i installed the fonts as you recommended and now it works well.
when i changed my language setting and restart client, it worked well.Then update the steam client would result in problem as i posted above.with extra fonts installed, the problem has solved.
So can you close this or does Valve have to?
i can only read the issue status and labels, maybe need Valve to proceed.
Nothing extracted yet.
hi all, I think i get in trouble now.
This afternoon (about 7 hours ago) i changed my preferred language from English to Chinese Simplified and it looks ok after restarting steam client, so i do not think it's a factor.
now when i launch steam, there is no texture on steam view, it shows as attached screenshot.
![steam_error]()
and here is the console log:
