Sounds like your 32-bit OpenGL driver install got killed by your update? You can try installing mesa-utils:i386 and re-running that glxinfo command to see if it works properly.
Thanks for your response, however, installing mesa-utils:i386 (and rebooting) did not make any difference:

I have the same problem. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.3 64 bit and just installed the newest NVidia drivers 361.28. I found the solution in the Arch Wiki:
__GLVND_DISALLOW_PATCHING=1 steam
Seems to work so far. But either the drivers for Linux are bad, or something else is wrong, because I can't even play INK without lag :(
where d you apply __GLVND_DISALLOW_PATCHING=1 steam?
This is the command you run from the command line.
oh ok thx
Closing this issue as i can no longer reproduce it and the problem went away for me.
Nothing extracted yet.
I've been running the Ubuntu Xenial Xerus alpha for a few weeks now and havent had any problems with steam so far, until i've updated the system today:
