Steam crashes in a loop on KDE since the previous update

[Bird]

I don’t know exactly which update caused this, but since then steam won’t launch through KDE. What I mean by that is launching it through the .desktop file or through the “icons-only task manager”. When I launch it from the terminal, everything works fine.

Here is the journal log:

The core dump shows some strange versions for Mesa. You seem to have mixed packages from packman and OSS repo for Mesa.

And additionally some forum search:

Steam won't launch on Tumbleweed

Hi all Steam wouldn’t launch for me after installing on a new machine, the apptray icon appeared but I couldn’t get to the main window. I killed the processes and launched from the CLI and this worked but the other issue is my fans are spinning up like crazy when it’s launched Does anyone know why this is happening and also is there way to launch it from the menu as I’ve already accidentally closed the terminal window once?

You seem to have mixed packages from packman and OSS repo for Mesa.

Apart from some demo packages, everything is from Packman.

This helped me for the time being, but is more like a band-aid.

Steam won't launch on Tumbleweed

Hi! I’m not sure if your issue is already resolved, but just in case it isn’t: I ran into a similar problem after a system update on Tumbleweed. Steam would launch, but no window would appear — and the start process would loop continuously, stealing focus from other windows and applications. In my case, the problem turned out to be related to Steam not having proper access to the D-Bus session. I was able to fix it by editing the desktop entry located at: ~/.local/share/applications/steam.de…

I also have a hunch that the main issue is with the dbus, but I’m too stupid to figure it out. I feel like the dbus caused a lot of issues recently.
