Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Since about 2 month Steam kept crashing. It worked between 10 seconds and 5 minutes before crashing with a segfault (terminal output was: '/home/username/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: Zeile 889: 6533 Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben) $STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$STEAMEXEPATH" "$@"'). After "steam --reset" (or later on a complete reinstall) this was fine - until steam started for the second time. This even happened without editing the config or adding games. After quite some trial I discovered that it could be fixed by deleting the following lines from config.vdf before starting steam:
"ConnectCache"
{
"(9 numbers/letters of hash)" "(56 numbers/letters of hash)"
}
