Cannot play to some of my game anymore

[EtienneM]

Hi After an upgrade to Linux Mint 16, I was able to play to all my game. Then, an update of Steam made a lot of my games crash. For instance, now, when I try to play to "Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine" I get the following outputs:

Focused window is now 1, 0
OnFocusWindowChanged to unknown window type: k_EWindowTypeSteamDesktop, 0

Any idea on where the problem can come from?

There's not enough information to say. Do you get a failure ID from any of your crashes, or listed in the Steam system info?

[EtienneM]

Hi, Sorry I did not know about the Steam system information. You can find my information here: https://gist.github.com/EtienneM/cde46b04e19721cfaf11

Do you need the crash dump?

Is it possible that the problem is that my OS is 64 bits and not the game?

[gdrewb-valve]

The system information is shown when you go to the main Steam menu and select Help, then System Information. Your pasted system information shows a dump from 1/14 that was sent to Valve, unfortunately it was aged out. If you have a new one post the crash ID here.

Global multi-game problems like this are often issues with video drivers. There's no quick way to tell other than trying other drivers and seeing what happens.

A new crash ID: bp-e1b027e9-a24a-4527-84ae-767aa2140119

My video driver are up-to-date. I don't really know what can I change...

[gdrewb-valve]

Did that crash get successfully sent to Valve? When was it sent?

Trying older drivers is usually the first step, but the video driver may not be the issue at all. If the crash made it to Valve I can take a look and see where the crash was and that'll give us a direction.

[EtienneM]

That crash happened yesterday evening. I am trying to have an other crash report sent today.

A new crash: CrashID=bp-02f0f671-2856-4acb-90fe-b31fc2140120

[gdrewb-valve]

Thanks, we'll take a look from our side, which might take a day or two.

I just noticed that in the games which works, it is impossible to open the Steam layout (shift+tab)

I installed the Intel tool (https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads) which install the latest graphics drivers.

[Tele42]

Most likely another iteration of https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/1467 / https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/1548. Please test a non-bleeding edge version of mesa.

The bug should never appear of there was no copy of libudev in the steam runtime, although that is another topic. Fix for the regression is already on the ML and should be with you guys as soon as oibaf updates his PPA.

As mentioned by Tele42, all three bugs are identical.

[mmstick]

Well, he updated his PPA 4 hours ago but your patch still isn't merged into mainline mesa yet so games on Steam that use libudev.so are still broken.

[Tele42]

Even if this patch gets merged, it's just a stop-gap until action is taken to deal with the libudev in steam's runtime or it is patched out of the new loader code for dri3. UPDATE: The patch was merged upstream.

[EtienneM]

It works now! Thanks all for your answer. Close the issue
