Launch log gist

I launched it directly via the /usr/lib/steam/steam as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting, and it doesn't crash.

Hello @vityafx, please temporarily opt out of Steam's client beta, copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

Also, can you check if there's any interesting hints in steamwebhelper.log, webhelper.txt, or cef_log.txt in ~/.local/share/Steam/logs/?

I had a simmilar problem while Downloading.

So I suspect the newest Beta Update "fixing crash related to http transfer" may fixed it, time will tell.

Iiddm 2023-05-02 github

I apologise for not having time to get to it earlier, but it indeed seems to have been fixed already in the build of May 2. Perhaps, this is what @reDBo0n meant. Should it reappear, I will reopen this ticket and will provide the information asked by @kisak-valve.

Thank you!
