Couple of Steam games don't work in Leap-15.6 but ran perfectly in Leap-15.5

Installation of Steam done by Yast Software GUI util.

After fresh install of Leap-15.6 some of my Steam games are not launching (tho the same games ran perfectly in Leap-15.5) due to following errors:

If you start a new game, the game crashes immediately after the intro movie/cutscence. The game also crashes if you skip the intro. Message in DialogWindow: Game crashed with signal 6 Console output: ``` libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work XCOM2WotC: dumped to "/home/home/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM 2 WotC/crashes/185adb67-07c0-596d-7eae7fde-4466d7f1.dmp" XCOM2WotC: crash reporter "/mnt/games/Steam/Libary/steamapps/common/XCOM 2/XCOM2WotC/bin/feral_linux_crash_reporter" launching ERROR: ld.so: object '$ORIGIN/../lib/private_symbol_hack.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

Thank you!

You can find many sides describing your prolem, maybe th last post from the above helps?

It bugs me so I wonder where do the bugs in those 2 Steam games, that used to work, come from. Why would the Steam for Linux team or package maintainer(s) of those games make changes to games that only I play and never complained on github about issues with Shogun2 or Homefront on Steam for Linux I’ll keep’n hopping around github to look for solutions

I’m glad that at least ETS2, WRC7, CoH2, Savage Resurrection (no more for sale) Lost Planet EC work as intended and are performing better in OpenSUSE-Leap than on Windowz7. I’m not a gamer so this is just an exercise for me to see what works or not on Steam in Linux for me.
