Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Specifically in a game called OOTP17 and OOTP18 when the game tries to compress some files that it uses, using the .gz compression methods the game crashes and segfaults. If I run Steam with "STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam" it works fine.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open the game OOTP
  2. Go to Generate Reports
  3. Wait and see
