Hello @or5, does any 32 bit opengl application like glxinfo32 from lib32-mesa-demos work?

Oor5 2019-02-24 github

Yes, glxinfo32 produces a massive amount of output I can paste into a gist if needed.

The output hints that steam has not crashed, could it be running in the background? Do you have a steam tray icon?

Oor5 2019-02-24 github

Sorry, it seems that the process was running in the background and just doing killall -9 steam and re-running it fixed the issue, I guess I probably should've tried that first.
