Your system information

Steam client version: I let it update recently, then tried switching to the beta program to see if that would help. It didn't. Help->About Steam doesn't give a version number. It tells me the build date though - it's Jun 23 2016 at 00:51:58.
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Debian GNU/Linux 8.5 (jessie) (64 bit)
Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Yes
Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist

I only installed Steam a month or so ago, and have only installed 4 games. The first 3 worked (and still work) but "Egg Returns Home" doesn't.

When I try to play it, I see a pop-up for a split second saying "Preparing to launch ..." but then it goes away again. Standard output shows this each time I try:

I see that I need "at least ubuntu 12.10" or something in the game requirements. I figured Debian was close enough, but could that be the problem?

You'll want to contact the game developers also.

Hello @dooglus, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

I got a chance to take a look at this. The game was built with gcc 5.x and Debian Jessie's libstdc++.so.6 is too old to be used with the game. Bundling a newer libstdc++.so.6 with the game tends to make more problems than it solves.

The system requirements for the game should be updated by the game's dev(s) to indicate the game supports Ubuntu 16.04+. The game also works with Debian Stretch.
