After Steam update, the games is not launching

[Amlypygid]

I added the problem I the Valve's github and you can open the steam using

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam

They suspect that libgcrypt.so.20 is getting dynamically loaded somehow over libgcrypt.so.11 when preferring system libraries. These are ABI incompatible and it may be worthwhile to also bring this issue to the attention of OpenSUSE's package maintainer for steam.

This worked for me! Thank you, sir. I was worried I had broken something about my system.
Cheers!

I have a similar issue with Serious Sam Fusion that is related to a error with my Nvidia driver. check your terminal for any messages when you run the steam runtime command posted above.

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam

yes, worked

Also worked for me. Well, all I can say is that the game starts. I'll report back if it runs into further issues.

Is it known if it's going to be fixed?

[plansuse]

I have the same problem and the cmd below

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam

also worked for me.

Thank you all for solving this issue, really appreciated.

Hello. I have also trouble running my games after the recent update.

I'm using the command mentioned above. So my Serious Sam game works.

But when trying to start Hitman I get this error message.

If possible, launch Steam from command line to check the output when the game 
is run.
Then, contact support@feralinteractive.com with the details of the output, 
your Steam System Info, as well as the dump file:

What can I try next. After installing steam I got the message that the crypto libraries were updated? Is the crypto problem fixed now?

Thank you

[Scott_Swinyard]

is it about to launch Steam like that?

/usr/bin/steam %U STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0

I tried it but it didn't helps.

Pretty sure you just ran /usr/bin/steam again then tried to add the new command afterwards and that didn't work. Just run: "STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0" without the quotation marks and nothing else.
