Hello @zzzd11, swrast is mesa's slower software renderer, and the fact that Steam is trying to use it hints that you're using the nVidia proprietary driver, but don't have the driver's 32 bit userspace libraries installed. The nVidia proprietary driver requires the driver's running kernel module, 32 bit userspace libraries, and 64 bit userspace libraries are installed and have exactly the same version to work properly.
Please check what video driver series you're using, then install the 32 bit libraries with something like sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-465:i386 (change 465 to match the driver series you're using).
Thanks for the quick response, how do i figure out the right series number for 3060?
Looks like nVidia added support for their 3060 card in 460.56, so the 460 series or newer should work.
As far as the Steam client is concerned, it doesn't care what driver series you use, just that you have a sane 32 bit and 64 bit OpenGL render path.
Looks like i have 460.84 installed according to my nvdia settings, what part am i missing?
^ i mean for the 32bit library, i can't seem to find online how to install specifically that one for ubuntu 21, i only find the original driver installation which if i understand is just 64 which is why this isnt working. How do i find the 32bit ones lol?

You are most likely missing libnvidia-gl-460:i386, which you can check with something like apt policy libnvidia-gl-460 libnvidia-gl-460:i386 and install with sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-460:i386.
Ok i thought i had that installed but it seems to have installed it properly, now when i type in steam in terminal it returns

WARNING: Using default/fallback debugger launch
/home/zlatko/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/steam
opening steam by searching steam normally doesn't do anything.
If the running nvidia kernel module does not match the driver's userspace libraries, then OpenGL applications including Steam can hang waiting on the video driver like that. The easiest way to resolve that scenario is to reboot the system.
Ok sweet, i restarted and it works now, thanks a lot for the help.

Running ubuntu 21.04 64-bit on an rtx 3060, i5-10400f
and getting this issue, im pretty new to linux and ubuntu so ive tried to install all the packages i could find relating to this (latest gpu drivers, all of that) and still get this error. This is my last resort trying to fix this issue, does anyone have any ideas? ive copy and pasted the direct report under here for help.
