Hello @ilPeolo, please copy your system information from steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.
I updated the issue report with the system information
The most common culprit of this kind of symptom is missing s3tc support. Can you check if you have the 64 bit variant of http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/libtxc-dxtn-s2tc?
I don't have the libtxc-dxtn-s2tc installed. And I don't know what is the 64 bit variant is
Since you are running 64 bit Ubuntu, the 64 bit variant is the default (the 32 bit variant would be libtxc-dxtn-s2tc:i386) Pease run ~sudo apt install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 in a terminal and check if it helps.~
EDIT: while this was good for troubleshooting, this command removes steam:i386 and will cause other trouble down the road.
It worked! thanks for the help :+1:
You may also need to install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:i386 at some point for 32 bit games. Closing as this was a system config issue..
Hello @ilPeolo, I took another look at this now that I have an ubuntu 17.04 test box and the apt command I suggested before may have removed the steam:i386 package, which can give you a headache down the road.
sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc:i386 libtxc-dxtn-s2tc:amd64 should work as the expected workaround.
