3 years ago Hello @NLBen, this reads like #7280. Can you check if that is the same issue that you're seeing? A hint should show up in the terminal spew while running steam from a terminal. Note: The distro-modified Steam package you're using may redirect some of that to a log file similar to ~/.steam/error.log.

Hello @kisak-valve - just compared and checked against my error.log in ~steam/steam. Nope. Not the same. Only similarity is periodic breakpad exception handlers (but even that doesn't seem to be consistent). What is consistent is that compared to my other logs the renderer process keeps on crashing, but that's about anything notable I can see in there.
If you want I can add the error log to here, but I doubt it'll give you any new related info.

Edit: Hm, I have the .dmp file in tmp but Github doesn't allow the dmp file to be uploaded. I hope you are able in that case to find the dump in the feedback/report system you have.

3 years ago @kisak-valve Did something change on the server-end? Because the problems no longer occur.

3 years ago Glad to hear Steam started behaving better for you.
As a moderator on Valve's issue tracker on Github, I unfortunately do not have access to check something like that. We would need to hear from a Steam dev if they wanted to add some insight.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Since yesterday Steam has been behaving... strange... to say the least. I've got Buffer Pre-caching enabled. Normally, this worked out just fine. Since yesterday however (before and after the update to the newest Mint version) whenever Steam gets to checking the content cache of Skyrim, it downloads an 131, 11 and 180 MB sized files. After that, it closes down down/crashes. Didn't happen before, and I've got no clue in the slightest what's causing it.
Update note - just to clarify - it checks the cache of other games too. But they cause no problems whatswhoever. Only after the client is done with Skyrim, it goes down. Further update note - I forgot to add that when I pause the cache download it disappears from the queue and doesn't appear again till I restart Steam. It's a persistent problem. Yet another update note - I forgot to also add - yes, I've got mods installed. But they haven't been updated in a long time (the last about a year ago). So it can't be an mod buffer cache error.
Bootstrap_log.txt in ~Steam/steam/logs says the following about it:
After the verification complete, it crashes, if I read cef_log.txt correctly:
For verification, from content_log.txt:
