Hello @KREATIV-LSH, 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).
