Hello @NTMan, are all affected games Unity based? Can you pin the steam-runtime variants of libSDL2 and see if that makes a difference?

The command to pin those libraries should be something like:

ln -s ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_64/libSDL2-2.0.so.0
ln -s ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_32/libSDL2-2.0.so.0

Hello @NTMan, are all affected games Unity based?

Not all. For example Vengeance not affected and launched successfuly from steam client.

Yes I tried this workaround and it no helps in my case.
