Hi, I’ve got a weird issue and figured I’d see if anybody knows how to fix it. I’ve noticed that most of my steam games that have linux native support just crash immediately when I try to run them. Running with Proton works just fine, but I was wondering if my system might be missing something obvious I need to run linux native games?

The latest one I was trying to play was Pyre. I tried looking through the logs, but couldn’t find anything obvious to me.

Edit: Whatever it is, it looks like its not something simple, but that is okay because everything seems to work fine with proton anyway. Thanks for the help anyway! :)

    The LD_PRELOAD one is actually harmless and annoyingly spams everyone. Steam tries to preload the 32 and 64 bit overlay library into every process and depends on one or the other failing.

    The free assert is bad and likely related to the crash. The stacktrace might be interesting if you want to share it.

    The only cause that comes to mind is something like a libc conflict between the game and your graphics driver. That’s going to be annoying to diagnose/fix though.
