Package: steam-installer

Severity: normal

Hello! I am having problems launching some native Linux games on Steam and
while I'm not sure by any means, I believe it might be related to the 64-bit-
time transition ("t64"). The reasons why I believe this are:
1. The games have all pretty much stopped working over-night.
2. I have recently done a full update on my `testing` system with only a few
unrelated packages left to be upgraded (a couple `libsane` ones and a couple
`cups` ones).
3. At least one of these games has probably not received any upgrades in a
decade, let alone last month or last week.
4. Emulated Windows games (via Proton) seem to be working normally.
I am getting the following error messages. This one for the older game:
symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined
symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var
A couple of these for games that seem to be Java-based:
library initialization failed - unable to allocate file descriptor table -
out of memory
These native games have all been working up until recently. Emulated Windows
games (Proton) and other native titles are working normally.
I have fully updated my system (including `usr-is-merged`) recently but I'm not
sure on the exact dates. If I had to guess I'd say I rolled the updates a
couple weeks ago and haven't had time to play games also for a couple weeks
(until sitting down to enjoy myself this weekend).
I understand Steam bundles their own Linux runtimes (which might explain some
games working and some not) and that this might be ultimately a problem for
Valve to deal with but in the spirit of helping with the 64-bit-time
transition, I thought I'd report this and let those more knowledgeable than me
figure out the details.
I can try to do a fresh Steam reinstall, try to install other native games or
whatever else might help nail down the problem here - but my connection speed
is pretty poor right now so I'd appreciate not having to do anything excessive.
I happen to also have a GOG copy of that older, non-Java game. I installed it
now and it fails to run with the same error, suggesting that this is a system
issue rather than a problem with Steam. Another native non-Java Linux game from
GOG seems to be working normally.
I am initially flagging this report as low priority and not t64-related because
of the lack of concrete information but if it turns out to be a t64-related
issue that could break hundreds or thousands of Steam games depending on
certain runtimes, I urge the maintainers to escalate appropriately.

Big thanks to all involved in making sure we can enjoy industry-standard gaming
in the greatest operating system! Cheers!
