Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Jun 1 2018, 10:51:49
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Xubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The Steam client may, after some time, have an error and generate a insanely enormous amount of error messages like:
../common/html/chrome_ipc_server.cpp (501) : Assertion Failed: !"Invalid PID for wait"

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open Steam and access your account
  2. Use Steam/play games for a while
  3. Try to access Store or Forum of a game
  4. Notice the messages in the log and the failure of pages loading

This is generating extremely big log files. One example can be seen at: https://mega.nz/#!NtwTwabb!cnOjJDnudkn_ti4Iv-y1UNJUiYo3w98vlW1s9Hbl38I

Please be aware, the log is very big.

Hello @FurretUber, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

Hi @kisak-valve, I'm no longer facing this problem. I can keep Steam open for long and it works well.
