Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date):
2 april 2018
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu):
archlinux
Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No]
no (i think...)
Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No]
yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

So, I have some games who can't start (crash on start) After reading some topics, it seem that is because of some missing libraries.
I launched this command line into ´$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64´

ldd $(file *|sed '/ELF/!d;s/:.*//g')|grep 'not found'|sort|uniq

	libavcodec.so.57 => not found
	libavformat.so.57 => not found
	libavresample.so.3 => not found
	libavutil.so.55 => not found
	libswscale.so.4 => not found
	libtier0_s.so => not found
	libv8.so => not found
	libvideo.so => not found
	libvstdlib_s.so => not found

so, ffmpeg is already installed, and should contain some of this libraries... so, I do not understand something... Somebody can help me ?

Hello @PowaBanga, .../ubuntu12_64 has libraries for steam itself to use, and is not part of the steam runtime. You probably wanted to look in ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime for libraries used by games.

yes, i looked into $HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32
it's a typo on my part
so, what should i do exactly ?

There's not enough information here to make a suggestion. What game and libraries are you seeing an issue with?

PPowaBanga 2018-04-23 github

here couterstrike 2D don't work,, space fighter and destination sol. (there is transmission element too, but for this game i recieve an error message who speak about my keyboard layout, so i think that it is an other issue for this game.)

So, I was thinking that with this command :
ldd $(file |sed '/ELF/!d;s/:.//g')|grep 'not found'|sort|uniq
I will see what are missing. It is why I am asking here how to install them...
Am I wrong ?

Should I run this games into a terminal and show answers here ?

Something along the lines of ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh ldd <library that failed to load> from the game's folder has a better chance of giving useful info.

There's some info on the Arch wiki for Transmissions: Element 120 that may help.

For Arch, you should use pacman to install the distro-specific variants of libraries.

Separately, you also might have some success with the steam-native-runtime package pulling in common dependencies.

If you want to include terminal spew in the issue report, go right ahead. Please use a gist with the output after trying to run those games. You can completely close steam, then run steam from a terminal, or look at /tmp/dumps<username>_stdout.txt for the terminal spew.
