Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I have no idea if this bug should go in here or on the "main" Steam issue tracker, but on the current Steam Beta version, I am unable to launch either Borderlands 3 or Wonderlands -- both of them get a little ways into the app startup (I can see some app-generated messages pop up on the console where I launched Steam), but then the games crash and take the Steam client down with it. Hopping to the non-Beta Steam fixes it up.

I have tried this with various Proton versions: A couple GE versions, Proton 7.0-5, Proton Next (7.0-6), and Proton Experimental. And also on both the client_beta branch of "Steam Linux Runtime - soldier", and the regular non-beta branch of the same. I haven't tried all combinations of those, but I've yet to have a successful launch using the latest Steam Client Beta for the past couple days.

I can run other Proton games from this same Steam install, though -- for instance I'd installed Witcheye, and that works fine. Also native games (tested quick with Wizorb) seem to work fine.

The various logfiles that I've gathered for this don't really have a lot in 'em that looks useful to me. The main thing I do see is this stuff on the console:

[ALSOFT] (EE) Failed to connect PipeWire event context (errno: 112)

./steam.sh: line 798: 160731 Aborted                 (core dumped) "$STEAMROOT/$STEAMEXEPATH" "$@"

That ALSOFT/PipeWire message doesn't show up when launching, for instance, Witcheye, so I wonder if that really is what's causing the big ol' crash?

Anyway, I have launched steam like so: STEAM_LINUX_RUNTIME_VERBOSE=1 STEAM_LINUX_RUNTIME_LOG=1 PROTON_LOG=1 steam and am attaching a few logfiles here:

steam-console.log - Full console output
steam-397540.log - Proton log (from my homedir)
slr-app397540-t20230108T134842.log - SLR debug logfile

I've also uploaded various "regular" Steam logs over here -- github didn't want me to upload a .tgz into this Issue: https://apocalyptech.com/scratchpad/steam_bl3_launch_2023_01_08/ (that page also includes all the other attached files and sysinfo). I've got the crash dumps available (from /tmp/dumps) if need be, though I suppose that stuff might have "sensitive" info in there, perhaps?

Again, not sure if this bugreport belongs here or in the main Steam project -- It's Steam Beta which seems to cause the crashing, but since there's a lot of SLR components available (and other native games and Proton-run games seem to work), I figured this might be the safer starting place. Let me know if I can provide any more info!

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Install latest Steam Beta client
2. Attempt to launch BL3 or TTWL
