Steam won't run any games

[Boi_Stevens]

So I upgraded my system to 42.2, and after installing Steam, games won't start. I install them and click play, they say they're running, then syncing, then it just stops. Weirdly when I ran Steam.exe through wine I could install games and run them.

After Steam update in June there is common problem with launching games via Steam on openSUSE related to default libraries.

Solution - launch Steam client with the following command:

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam

This should help.

There are separate threads on this forum related to this bug - see: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthre...-not-launching and https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/523486-Steam-games-not-working

There is also opened issue on the steam-for-linux github page.
