Steam games instantly crash, (posibly due to missing libraries)
Hello everyone,
I have installed steam and steam-native-runtime packages aswell as the needed graphics drivers as described in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/steam#Installation . Both steam runtime and native work fine. I installed two gmes to test the installation: Borderlnds 2 and Civilization 5. However when tring to start either one of those games they intantly crash (in case of Civ5 i get a black sreen for about 0.5 s). Troubleshooting posiblilies i found in the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … mmediately , obviously i have no idea what i am doing at this point:
1. Check installed libraries: I followed the instructions given at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … _libraries. I prett much just followed these instructions but didn't get far.
When checking for the game libraries i get:

/home/max/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steamwebhelperI assume most of those are not really pointing to any libraries needed, but I'm not quite sure what to do here again (sorry for stupid).
2. Disabling the in-game Steam Overlay in the game properties did change nothing at all.
3. I did not find out how to get the steam output the wiki i talking about, when starting steam from the console, however i get no output when the games crash.
Can anyone help me how to solve my problem? Probably i just forgot something really simple, but i dont get it. Thanks for any kind of help.

Re: Steam games instantly crash, (posibly due to missing libraries)
There are no unresolved linked shared objects.
If the game crashes, look out for a coredump, "man coredumpctl".

Thanks for the fast reply! I did find the coredumps, the "gdp"-commands return:

(gdb) the "bt"-commantd doesnt help me either. What do i do with these dumps? How can i find out anything more specific?
Maybe I should mention that at least one of those games has already worked fine for me on another installation, thus i don't think its a general problem with the game.

Re: Steam games instantly crash, (posibly due to missing libraries)
Also, looking at the gdb-output, there seem to be warning about shared libraries not loaded, can this be the reason, however these ilbraries are either contained in an installed package or i can't find them with "pkgfile" again...
I am quite unsure about this SIGSEGV - signal, did not find anthing helpful yet, will look on what it means, maybe here anyone can help me.

Re: Steam games instantly crash, (posibly due to missing libraries)
If you just use coredumpctl info does that generate the same stack trace?

Re: Steam games instantly crash, (posibly due to missing libraries)
Yes, I think so. Its the frist part of the gdb-output, for Borderlands 2 for exmple, "coredumpctl info gives":

However to me the stacktrace seems to contain no information, but i have no idea anyways..

Oh yes i see...
Is there anything i can do about that, when tryng to start the games?
How can i start steam with steam-console in arch? (on Windows there was this -console option if i remember correctly) Maybe this helps

Re: Steam games instantly crash, (posibly due to missing libraries)
Stack corruption - likely some of the bundled libraries (in particular things like ./libc++.so.1 looks terribly suspicious) are binary incompatible with the rest of the system.
Keep in mind that steam officially only supports a very particular ubuntu stack with older versions of libc and compiled with older versions of gcc. Running it on anything else is a matter of "luck" :-(
Did you see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … leshooting, notably on the various ways to launch games?

The only package i can find "libc++.so.1" in using "pkgfile" is teamspeak3. Can this be?

Re: Steam games instantly crash, (posibly due to missing libraries)
No idea, brief google says various games just ship them and the "./" actually supports that idea, but I'm too smart *sigh* "old" to surrender to steam (when I was young™, like 15 years ago, we could just run games w/o online service surveillance)
You could try running
env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 steamto ensure it prefers symbols from the local libstdc++

Re: Steam games instantly crash, (posibly due to missing libraries)
Sadly doesn't change anything, When directly trying to launch the game executable, steam asks for a file named "steam_appid.txt" containing the appid. When doing so the game crashes aswell... with the output
[username@hostname Borderlands 2]$ ./Borderlands2
Setting breakpad minidump AppID =****
Steam_SetMinidumpSteamID: Caching Steam ID: **** [API loaded no]
Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben) However the shared libs with "./" are all in the game folder:
[username@hostname Borderlands 2]$ ls
Borderlands2 com.aspyr.bl2.version.json libc++.so libc++.so.1 libc++.so.1.0 libcrypto.so.1.0.0 libcxxrt.so libiconv.so libiconv.so.2 libiconv.so.2.5.1 libssl.so.1.0.0 libsteam_api.so steam_appid.txt steam_shader_cache steamassetsAlso sometimes after trying to launch games from steam, without any pattern i could track so far, my Desktop (KDE) Taskbar and clock break. Not sure if this is of any interest or just something more to be concerned about...

Re: Steam games instantly crash, (posibly due to missing libraries)
The taskbar breaking could be due to the fact that games/SDL2 windows inhibit compositing. It is usually harmless.
In general what kind of hardware are we talking here? Older AMD processors often do not have certain instruction sets used by the precompiled binaries, and or insufficient GL capabilities. Does your dmesg contain anything? certain crashes might lead to interesting reports generated there even though the fault was in a "user-space" program.

Re: Steam games instantly crash, (posibly due to missing libraries)
Alright... Update: CIvilisation 5 seems to work when the binary run directly.
Bonus-Update: I rabdomly confused the app_ids (*argh... my bad*), Borderland also running if the binary is run directly.

1. Thanks for the destressing hint on my KDE-crashes.
2. I have an AMD FX-6300 (not sure if that counts as old yet). When running steam games inside steam m dmesg output is:
[ 591.536691] Borderlands2[2042]: segfault at 0 ip 0000000000000000 sp 00000000ffdedbac error 14 in Borderlands2[8048000+235a000]But I'm not sure if this can still be due to hardware related stuff, since now the games seem to run without steam.

Re: Steam games instantly crash, (posibly due to missing libraries)
I did not find out how to get the steam output the wiki i talking about, when starting steam from the console, however i get no output when the games crash.
If you just start regular steam from console (IE simply steam-runtime or steam-native) it should print out what its doing to the console. Starting a game should print out something like this (AppID 49520 being Borderlands 2 I believe):
GameAction [AppID 49520, ActionID 2] : LaunchApp changed task to SiteLicenseSeatCheckout with ""
GameAction [AppID 49520, ActionID 2] : LaunchApp changed task to CreatingProcess with ""
GameAction [AppID 49520, ActionID 2] : LaunchApp waiting for user response to CreatingProcess ""
GameAction [AppID 49520, ActionID 2] : LaunchApp continues with user response "CreatingProcess"
Opted-in Controller Mask: 0
Game update: AppID 49520 "", ProcID 10808, IP 0.0.0.0:0P.S. To Seth, if you are ok with buying non free games in the first place then IMO Steam isn't that bad. Certainly not as damning as something like SecuROM. Also consider you can keep it in offline mode indefinitely. Only going online to download new games or updates if you choose.
