I have troubles starting my steam client. It crashes. Here is an example of many cases: log
Anyway, I can easily launch client by doing it after rm -rf ~/.steam. Yes, I will need to log in again, but at least I can use steam that way.

In log, I can see that line:

[1110/201633:ERROR:main_delegate.cc(779)] Could not load cef_extensions.pak
[1110/201633:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(217)] Running without the SUID sandbox! See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_suid_sandbox_development.md for more information on developing with the sandbox on.
...
[1110/201633:ERROR:main_delegate.cc(779)] Could not load cef_extensions.pak

But how can everything work at the first launch then?

For some reason, last 1-2 days I did not experience this. Right now I was able to start Steam without any problems, without removing ~/.steam and without logging in again.
Yes, I'm performing different things with my system, for example I switched from OpenRC to systemd recently. If you need some info about my system to understand what caused crash, I can give it to you, just tell me what exactly you need.

I don't face this issue for a long time already.
Steam always starts, it takes long time and sometimes logs me off - but that can be a reason for another issue.
Thss issue can be closed.
