FIXED: No idea why AT ALL. But Steam for some reason now works.

Not sure if same issue, but Steam worked yesterday, then after updating itself it stopped to work. I did a system upgrade to see if that fixes but no.

How do I start a game that is supposed to run without Steam and does so on Windows? They tell me go to game folder in Steam and just run it - that works on Windows but on Linux it will cry about not finding all kinds of dirs. This game should run without Steam, and I want to play! Please help!

I just tried now and Steam started up, it seemed to work... then while I came here to report that it crashed, and now won't start again. So the issue persists, but it's weird that at first it started up. Here is the dump for that crash: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hd8v7xw5wgf2hi7/crash_20160721032114_1.dmp?dl=0

Apparently my issue was #4561 - an issue caused with beta participations no longer existing.
