I can provide the core file is that helps.

Seems to be a one off crash, so if this is not enough info to fix it then feel free to close.

I'm having the same thing happen, and it seems to crash while loading maps from games like GTFO (The menus load fine, the game and Steam crash when loading a map. The game and the client also have a low chance of crashing when doing alt+tab in games like Risk of Rain 2.

Good news, I figured out what caused the crash. I was running Steam off the terminal to read the output, and I got Steam to crash, but the terminal also crashed. Something was wrong beyond Steam.

My first instinct was OOM killing the thread because it used too much memory. I consulted Journald and I was right!
I disabled OOM with the command systemctl disable --now systemd-oomd.service, and it works fine!

This is a ridiculously bad idea. You system might crash in a bad way.
