if i switch to beta
Which beta? Flathub's com.valvesoftware.Steam//beta
, or Steam Beta Update
in Steam → Settings → Account
, or what?
Steam-Package-Version: 1626824075 / Jul 20 2021 - 22:25:57
This is not current: the beta and general-availability Steam client versions are currently both the same, 1637624439 (Nov 22 2021).
You should still be able to check for updates with Steam → Check for Steam Client Updates...
, even when the steamwebhelper
is not working.
It is expected that versions older than September will still suffer from #7935 if they have not been updated. We can't go back in time to fix those versions!

It shouldn't be possible to install the old version - or it should be updated automatically - at best :)

This fix my issue O_O ( flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam#834 )
Problem / Steps
If i start steam via terminal (flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam) i see following error messages if it reaches the black screens: ./steamwebhelper: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6: undefined symbol: hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language
note: if i switch to beta, it works nicely. only non-beta has this problem for me.
