Any movement with this? I finally figured out a workaround that lets me play. Create a bash script with the contents: LC_ALL=C steam $@, make it executable then point the desktop file (steam.desktop) to the bash script instead of steam itself (You probably could do the same with an alias). I tried adding it directly to the desktop file but was invalid format (If someone else figures out the format please update).

@bpearson Exec=env LC_ALL=C steam $@?

Can you tell me where you get the idea of LC_ALL=C?

I found it here... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve ... apparently it is from a missing locale?

@bpearson Thanks for the workaround. Just saved me lot of time :+1:

I was getting the following error:

Now, as from your comment above,

Running Exec=env LC_ALL=C steam $@ Makes it work now.. :)

@bpearson Exec=env LC_ALL=C steam $@ solves the problem. Strange that i've been searching for 2 days yet couldnt find that simple solution. Thanks a lot.
