Notes

I've tried the fix here https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3863 with no luck

Hello @alexandru-calinoiu, this reads like you do not have a sane OpenGL driver install.

Please verify you have nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils, and lib32-nvidia-utils installed and that they are all paired versions. The fact that steam is trying to use swrast means that your system is trying to use mesa's libGL.so with the nVidia proprietary driver, which is incompatible.

Aalexandru-calinoiu 2019-07-18 github

Apparently I did not had lib32-nvidia-utils installed and this triggered the failure. Fix was to simply install it.

Kkdomanski 2020-05-11 github

That's no fix. Steam should report the lack of a needed tool instead of segfaulting with no explanation. Please reopen.

Please reopen, issue still persists.
