  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Yes (also broken without)
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist

Expected to start up steam, instead get stuck on this grey window.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. start steam under the arch chroot on void
    which gets you this grey screen:

This is also broken in the same way when using a void linux glibc chroot under the same void linux musl system

Flatpak version does not have this problem.

EDIT: could reproduce under void linux glibc (no chroot) but fixed after updating void

Edit: i think that the new org.freedesktop.Platform. ... updates fixed the issue for me.
