Build from Aug 9.

Yes, there are a few other issues already but they don't seem to exactly match.

I have deleted libgcc_s.so.1 from steam runtime because it was too old to support newly compiled mesa drivers on Archlinux.

I have deleted all libxcb stuff from steam runtime because it was mentioned here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3093#issuecomment-37022796

This one seemed to be the fault of something else, bumblebee? https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3199#issuecomment-47330106

I'm sure you have received a lot of crash reports from me already from my playing around.

Looks like this in dmesg:

Happens on mesa intel graphics and offloaded to mesa radeonsi graphics in all combinations with and without dri3.

There are core files in ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/ that belong to the overlay but there's really not much information without debugging symbols:

Does the build from the multilib repo give you the same error? It's build date is August 3rd.

If you could post your failure report IDs that would be helpful.

CrashID=bp-edad91c2-3982-4ad5-8a4e-df7b72140811

CChristophHaag 2014-08-12 github

With steam beta update from today: CrashID=bp-884075e5-159b-49f0-b7a5-19ec82140812

Ggdrewb-valve maintainer 2014-08-12 github

Valve note: crash in gameoverlayui BInitializeVGui, looks like VGUI_Setup failed so it ends up using a NULL pointer.

CChristophHaag 2014-08-15 github

Opted out of the steam client beta, so it's now the new current stable. Crash is still the same I think: CrashID=bp-73f5f71a-116e-4bdb-b107-ee6082140815

The only other change I have is the latest libXext from my system because of https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3364

CChristophHaag 2014-11-15 github

Meanwhile I was curious and had another look. LD_DEBUG=libs says nothing out of the ordinary: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1aQiNZ7q

Except maybe this: gameoverlayrenderer.so: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: __driDriverGetExtensions_i965 (fatal). But contrary to the word "fatal", this message is harmless as I have seen:

It brought me to think about whether there could be a library in the steam runtime breaking stuff, because I also deleted the usual libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 libraries from the runtime.

And what can I say, when running with STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam the overlay works (the message about __driDriverGetExtensions_i965 is still there). Now the trouble is finding out which of the libraries in the steam runtime causes this...

Ssilverhammermba 2014-12-21 github

I'm on Arch and the overlay in the beta doesn't work for me either. I have the "Enable Steam overlay in-game" box checked. The only error message I can find is

ERROR: ld.so: object 'Linux/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

I tried removing the gcc, c++, and xcb Steam runtimes as other suggested with no change.

TTele42 2014-12-21 github

@silverhammermba to me on gentoo, that error is strange to me, as I am shown an absolute path to the the overlay library, Example: ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/<userfolder>/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

CChristophHaag 2014-12-21 github

That's normal. When I start without the steam runtime and the overlay works I get these too.

64 bit applications:
glxoverlay

32 bit applications:
glxoverlay1

TTele42 2014-12-21 github

wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 is not the strange part, it's the Linux/ubuntu12_32/ when /home/<userfolder>/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/ is expected.

Ssilverhammermba 2014-12-21 github

@Tele42 I found that odd as well, especially since there were no directories named Linux anywhere. Turns out it was an entirely new issue: #3641.

CChristophHaag 2015-05-10 github

I think it works now and I can close this.
