Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

tested with

• https://store.steampowered.com/app/730/CounterStrike_Global_Offensive/
• https://store.steampowered.com/app/1055540/A_Short_Hike/
• https://store.steampowered.com/app/1295860/Rip_Them_Off/
• https://store.steampowered.com/app/496300/Kingdom_New_Lands/
• https://store.steampowered.com/app/474750/Reigns/

since the games also don't work natively (black screen, hangs forever)

Expected behavior

native linux steam games work

Maybe we should update steam-runtime again?

#140711 Updating does not fix.

This seems to have been fixed by a recent Steam update.

are you sure for me something still seems to be broken:

pressure-vessel-wrap[5614]: W: Found more than one possible libdrm data directory from provider
pid 5817 != 5812, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)
=== ERROR - You're missing vital libraries to run Rise of the Tomb Raider

while both of the .so.* files should be in the steam-run environment according to nix-locate.

@benneti your problem seems to be something else. It's erroring out on missing libs. Please open a new issue if it still persists.

cat: /home/davidak/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/version.txt: No such file or directory

Makes me believe this is an issue of the Steam state in your home dir, not our Steam derivation. This is something that can easily get fixed automagically by an update as @TredwellGit mentioned or by wiping the stateful Steam installation but we can't do anything for or against it on our side in Nixpkgs.

pressure-vessel-wrap[102760]: W: Found more than one possible libdrm data directory from provider

Is probably just a benign warning.

[davidak]

I tested https://store.steampowered.com/app/496300/Kingdom_New_Lands/ again and it works with Steam and Linux Environment. So the issue seem to be fixed

Tested on NixOS 22.05.3954.4f09cfce9c1.
