Hello @pablohenriquemg, what video card are you using?

Does any 32 bit OpenGL application like glxinfo from a 32 bit build of mesa-utils work? Unfortunately, Ubuntu doesn't provide a 32 bit build of this package on 20.04, so maybe try unpacking https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/i386/mesa-utils/download with an archive utility and using the utility without installing it to the system.

Thanks, swrast is mesa's slower cpu renderer. The fact that Steam is trying to use it hints that you're using the nVidia proprietary driver and are missing the driver's 32 bit userspace libraries. Figure out which driver series you're using, and add the 32 bit userspace libraries with something similar to sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-470:i386 (replace 470 with the driver series you're using).
