Hello @Eerosal, what distro are you using?

EEerosal 2017-06-05 github

Debian 8 Jessie if I remember correctly.

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2017-06-05 github

Is this a new install or an existing install that stopped working after an update and did you install steam with the distro-provided steam package or the valve provided steam package?

EEerosal 2017-06-05 github

Existing install that stopped working and Valve provided .deb package.

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2017-06-05 github

Try running STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam in a terminal and see if it helps.

EEerosal 2017-06-05 github

Thank you. Works.

Why is this closed? What is the permanent fix?

Is "STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam" the final fix?

EEerosal 2017-06-27 github

^ true. I haven't been using steam because I'm too lazy to fix the desktop file or run it.

Aandersonzanichelli 2017-09-17 github

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam Doesn't work for me.
After the command, steam still breaks

Bump. Why hasn't there been any fixing updates?

IIsty001 2017-10-07 github

@andersonzanichelli I have the exact same issue. I really hope there will be a fix for this issue.

Tteletrail 2017-11-19 github

getting the same result, running beta client on debian unstable. have updated to latest packages.

Tteletrail 2017-11-19 github

works using STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam, but is not ideal.

Nothing extracted yet.
