Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): May 19 2021 at 01:54:04
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 20.10
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Tried with and withoutYes[Yes/No]

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

  • I launched Civilisation 6 from the app shortcut.
  • Gameplay seemed a bit sluggish but I figured my laptop was slow.
  • Eventually exited the game; noticed that steam was still using 100% of a core even though the game finished.
  • I was running the beta client; I reverted to the non-beta client; stopped steam and tried again, same result.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Launch Civ 6
  2. Exit Civ 6
  3. Observe 100% CPU usage from steam

I grabbed the htop tree view as described in another issue. HTMLController and steam steam://rungameid/289070 seem to be using the CPU.
